Free-For-All Friday + Scavenger Hunt

[geraineon]

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).

There's a cnovel bookbinding exchange? :o

It's not really public-facing, since in the past some people have gotten the wrong idea about fanbinding (no money is being made and no one is trying to take anything away from official versions; I'd say most of us consider bookbinding a form of fanart). If you're interested I could send you a discord invite, or dig up some pics from people who posted their pieces from last year's exchange publicly.

I'd love to see any publicly posted pics from last year's exchange! I think (fan)bookbinding is really cool. :D

Devil Venerable Also Wants to Know from last year's exchange <--this user has a lot of cnovel fanbindings on their tumblr including, off the top of my head, an epic single-volume TGCF as well as the Pet Fish novel bound in fishskin leather
