Engarde!!!! The Reading Duel challenge
« on: July 18, 2011, 02:45:44 AM »
I think I got everyone! If for some reason I made a mistake, let me know but otherwise I think I did a pretty good job! This was not easy!!

Steph, you're the only one that got two stories! I hope that's okay!  :)

Here is the list below. I'll gradually add the links tonight but of course you can always just find them yourselves lol

You can start reading them today and don't forget you should post feedback in the thread as well as the actual story site. If you have any questions for the author etc...put them in the thread so we can all kind of see what's going on.

I'll be sending you a final survey to fill out towards the end of the month about the story you are reading.

Enjoy and happy reading!!

Only fill this out AFTER you are completely done with the story you are reading and then post it in this thread :)

1) Name of the story you read and the author and what you feel the genre is. Your answer might be different then the authors.

2) Would you have ever read this story if it wasn't a challenge?

3) What was your favorite scene?

4) Who was your favorite character and why?

5) Overall tell us one reason why you think someone else should/or shouldn't read this story.

6) Did it convert you to the genre it is? Would you be willing to read another story just like it?

7) Give one piece of concrit that might help the author for future reference. This can be positive too, concrit doesn't always mean negative.

8) This should be the question the author asked in their survey. Everyone's will be different.

9) Would you recommend this story and author to another person? Why or why not

10) Out of 10 stars what would you give this story?

11) Do you think after you are done reading what's there so far (and you only have to read however many chapters are there when the start of this challenge was given) Do you think you will continue to read the story through to the end to see what happens to the characters?

And for those of you reading completed stories, if there was a sequel, would you be curious enough to continue reading on?

Okay, so just clarifying... We all challenge three people, but that doesn't mean, even if all three of those people accept, that we end up having to read three stories, plus possibly a fourth from someone else challenging us, because you decide the final duels.  Is that right?

That is correct. You will only have to read one story unless you choose to duel more than one person.

Okay, good, thanks!  I just don't want to get in over my head when I know the next month is going to get crazy busy.

So when we challenge three people, we challenge them to read our story, right? I feel blonde right now, but I swear it's not because I'm dying my hair at this very minute.

LOL yes, that is correct. If you challenge them and you are paired up, you have to read theirs as well. So it's one of those things where you want to make sure you want to read the person who you are going to challenge.

Time to start the challenge! :)

Start posting your challenges in this thread. Only respond to the challenge if you DO NOT accept it. It'll be easier for me to keep track that way. Of course you can comment etc... but make it clear that you aren't accepting so and so's challenge by quoting them in your post.

I'll really be trying my best to keep track of everything going on to figure out who will be dueling who or whom...whateve r, too lazy to look up the grammar rules. You know what I mean.

If you are first on someone's list and they are first on yours, odds are the two of you will be dueling. But i'm sure it won't be as easy as that lol

Try to get all the challenges in by Friday so this way I have the weekend to sort through and figure things out. The sooner the better though.

Okay, so start posting!!!

En Garde! hehe
