Free-For-All Friday + Scavenger Hunt

Time for free for all Friday, a day for random chit-chat!

Do you want to talk about the other novels you are reading or find a read-along partner? Practice your Chinese? Request for fics? Ask for beta readers? Just talk about your day?

Go right ahead!

Also, I'm thinking it might be fun to do a year long c-novel scavenger hunt!

How it works is, you can suggest in the following google form an item, a trope, a scene, etc. in the box below. I'll collate them all and then depending on how many suggestions there are, create a randomized list for each person who wants to play. When you read a book (define "c-novels" as loosely as possible here) and encounter that thing on your list, check it off and put the title of the book next to it to keep track of where you found it. When you manage to check off all, just respond on any of the weekly posts that you finished it.

This is all on the honor system and you are free to rules lawyer your way into checking off stuff!

edited to add: open until 17 Jan 2025 (if we don't have 20 submissions by then, I'll keep it open for a little longer).

Checked out a few more cnovels (all historical: transmigration, timetravel [NOT modern-day to past 穿越时空 but historical RPF 重生 which I feel is less common], and even live broadcast [the equivalent of fic where characters read/watch the canon, which I'm usually meh about]), but stopped partway through all of them... I think I'm a little burned out on webnovels for now. Still following the 3K Workers audiobook, but other than that I'm gonna take a break and try to focus on the physical books I've yet to read and the fic tl WIPs I've been ignoring. XD

Giving Good Weight by John McPhee! I really enjoy his writing, and since it's a collection of essays my much shorter off-line reading attention span should be able to handle it. XD
