For M you need author or character with last name starting with M

Pairings are first name author or character - last name author or character


message 24: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) | 3473 comments Michelle wrote: "Can someone look at Post 10 to see if I got it correct please?"

You have to pair a first name with a last name, so your M example wouldn't work as it is.
If you want to use M.R. Pritchard (Author of Sparrow Man), you can always pair it with Torran MacDonald (character name in The Last Mission of the Living).
Does that make sense?

Kelly (ladykatala) | 5020 comments Michelle wrote: "Can someone look at Post 10 to see if I got it correct please?"

"M.R. Pritchard (Author of Sparrow Man) &Michael Grant (Author of Hunger"

You'll want one first name starting with M and one last name starting with M. (First for Alpha and Last for Omega). So you can move one of those to the last name for wither P or G.

Move it to B. The letter you're claiming for first and last name should be the one you put it on. You may want to reverse them too so first name is before last name to help you keep track but that's optional.

I would use it as a first name if you don't know for certain it's a last name they're referencing.
