Update From The Realm: City Of Bones: Group Recapping

[zelda_queen]

So, judging by the last announcement, there is interest in a group recapping of The Mortal Instruments. So, in this post, let's figure out who gets what chapters!

There are twenty-three chapters, plus an epilogue. How many chapters everyone can have depends on how many people are interested in recapping, of course. I will put who wants what here,

Chapter 1 - erikalyndis RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 2 - parrinoyd RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 3 - szaleniec1000 RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 4 - zelda_queen RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 5 - aikaterini (will go with six, if someone wants this one) RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 6 - aikaterini (will go with five, if someone wants this one) RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 7 - overlordmikey RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 8 - zelda_queen RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 9 - erikalyndis (if no one else wants it) RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 10 - foxypope RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 11 - tsukasabuddha RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 12 - tsukasabuddha RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 13 - tsukasabuddha RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 14 - carakasla RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 15 - carakasla RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 16 - nawsome RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 17 - turtlecrackers RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 18 - darkslover
Chapter 19 - mogselof RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 20 - emmran RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 21 - parrinoyd (if no one else wants it) RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 22 - foxypope (if no one else wants it) RECAP RECEIVED
Chapter 23 - stormswift RECAP RECEIVED
Epilogue - gehayi RECAP RECEIVED

Keep in mind that this will be changed a lot, depending on who wants what.

Now, as for how this will work. Basically, everyone recaps their requested chapters, in whatever style they'd like. All I ask is that you don't actually spork the full chapters, just because this is a published work and all. Just recap, like Mervin is doing with the Twilight series.

After the recapping is done, send it to me. You can do that however you like. If you want to e-mail it to me, send it to zeldaqueen64@gmail.com, and be sure to PM me afterwards (the PM is because my e-mail is kind of weird about getting stuff in, and I don't want someone to slave away at a recap and then have it get lost in cyberspace and not know it). I will post the recappings here, in order.

As I said in the last announcement, if you are in need of a copy of the book City of Bones (or if you are interested in an online copy, for whatever reason), just let me know.

Deadlines: We're going to have a few weeks for people to lay claim to any chapters they want. I'm actually getting close to finishing Marked, and I'd like to tie that one up before posting a new book recapping. As for the deadlines of the recaps themselves...well, that's a little looser. Obviously the sooner you can send them over, the better. I just don't want to pressure folks who have stuff going on in their lives.

I think that's about everything. Just have fun, and may the spork be with you!

Laying tentative claim to chapters 7 and 8, although I'll stick with 7 if I have to choose.

[erikalyndis.livejournal.com]

I don't really mind what chapters I get, since I've never read it.

[anakinnotvader.livejournal.com]

I don't really have any preference as to chapters either :)

[szaleniec1000.livejournal.com]

Again, no preference. I do have a copy of the book but it's a while since I read it.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Cool. Gotcha down for it.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Alrighty, I'll just give you the first chapter for starters. If we don't get more people who want chapters, I'll assign you more. :)

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Alright, you can have Chapter Two. Like with erikalyndis, if there aren't any more requests, I'll assign you more. ^_^

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm giving you Chapter Three. Like I said above, you might get more, depending on if anyone else signs up. I'll notify everyone if that's the case. :)

[erikalyndis.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

[tsukasabuddha.livejournal.com]

11-13 please! 12 hardly qualifies as a whole chapter, and I want to get as gay as I can!

[carmyn]

I've never read the book so I'm not particularly picky on the chapters.

But, to make things easier, I'll take 14+15.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! :)

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Alright! Gotcha.

[carmyn]

Oh, this is going to be fun...and worrying. My first recap/sporking! >.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it! Just have fun, for nothing can go amiss when simpleness and duty tender it. XD

[erikalyndis.livejournal.com]

If no-one wants chapter 9, I'll take that too.

[anakinnotvader.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thanks!

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Alrighty. :)

[parrinoyed.livejournal.com]

Sorry, had so many internet issues today, couldn't get in :(

Well, the only chapter I had an idea for was chapter 2, but that seems taken...so other than that, no preference. (After all, I never got farther than ch 2 :P)

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

You can have Chapter 2 if you like. Anakinnotvader didn't request one in particular.

[zelda-queen.livejournal.com]

Eh, I'm sorry, nix that, you're on Chapter 16 ^^;; Is that cool?

[parrinoyed.livejournal.com]

Okay, so long as I'm not stepping on anyone's toes.

But getting started early on will probably be good for me. (In fact, I'll think I'll get started now(ish) so I don't dither) ;)

[parrinoyed.livejournal.com]

But flipping through, what about chapter 21? That's the alternate pov, right? That might be interesting (sorry about the double post, but it did look like people were taking two)

[emmram.livejournal.com]

No real preference here. I'm pretty much willing to tackle anything.

[mogseltof.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty much the same as everyone else preference wise, I don't mind a bit :D It's been forever since I read it, so I only remember bits and pieces. I can get hold of a copy from my library, but if a spanner gets in the works I'll contact you.

I'm rather excited about this ^_^
