How do I know if a book counts?
» A book counts if it is finished between the challenge dates! It must also fulfill one prompt.
Can I use the examples above?
» Yes! Any of the books above may be used for this challenge!
» If asked, you must be able to justify your choice.
Can mods participate? If so, why? Doesn't that give them an advantage?
» Yes, mods can participate! Being a mod is not an advantage. Everyone has equal access to the rules the challenge tasks, etc. Thus, I see no problem with allowing mods to participate.
How do I edit a comment?
» Use the "Desktop Version."
» Click the "edit" link at the bottom right–hand side of your comment.
How do I get to the "Desktop Version" on my phone?
» Open your preferred search browser, e.g. Safari, Chrome, etc.
» Go to /
» Scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Desktop version."
