Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Questions or problems with completed task posts will be posted here.

If you have questions about your points on the Readerboard:

1. Please check your math first!
2. Check to see if one of your posts is listed in this thread with a question. If so, please make a NEW POST in the Completed tasks thread to clear up the question. DO NOT go back and edit the original post. I will not go backwards in the completed task thread to pick up points.
3. To avoid further questions/problems, please refer to the TASK DESCRIPTIONS and the POSTING REQUIREMENTS.

Thank you for helping keep the record keeping for the challenge as manageable as possible.

Paul | 327 comments In message 17 in the Completed Tasks, I initially posted a reference to Neal Stephenson without providing a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author link (the task had to do with the author's initials). I have updated that post, but let me know if I need to re-post.

It was fixed when I got there, so you're good! Thanks for letting me know, though.

Just an FYI
I'm not sure how you counted James Rollins in your Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author totals, but if you use more than one book to achieve the 100 page threshold only 1 Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author ticket will be awarded

That's what I thought also so I only counted 1 Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author ticket. Thank you for confirming this for me!

If you are claiming a Big Book or Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author ticket you must specifically mention in your completed task post that a book is a Big Book and list the number of pages or that it was written by a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author
It is not enough to provide a tally. As you update your tally we cannot tell the books you are claiming

Sorry about that! Should I repost my complete task? Edit the task (athough the rules say not to), or create a new post stating Im claiming a Big Book ticket referencing post 43?

Just for your records, option 2 for task 30.3 is a book set in Italy. Jam Thumbprints is option 4. Since A Trick of the Light works for Jam Thumbprints, there's no need to repost.

FYI -- It appears as if you've claimed task 25.9 twice in these two posts, but your total points and GRAs seem to be OK. Just check your records to make sure. No need to repost anything.

Task 15.3 -- Something Old, Something New: For Better or For Worse 1st Treasury is a collection of comic strips. The rules state:

Picture Books and collections of syndicated or internet comic strips or panels must be aggregated to at least 500 pages.
If you elect to use more than one book to achieve the 100 page threshold, all the books must fit the same aspect of the task. You may not mix and match options.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11182 comments Coralie - post 129

Task 20.3, option 6 -- the task description says two or more "LA" letter sequences found within the title/subtitle or author's name. The Last Theorem as one LA in the title and one in the author's name.

You may want to ask Chris MD if that will work in the help thread. If she approves it, please repost the task.

Task 5.8 - The task description states read a book with an end of days genre on the main book page: Apocalyptic, Post Apocalyptic, Dying Earth.

The Twelve by William Gladstone does not have any of these genres on it's main page.
