Updates From The Realm: City Of Bones Recapping

Harken everyone, for we have a few updates on the group recapping for City of Bones!

We now have recaps for half of the chapters. Everything I got thus far has been hilarious and I for one am seriously stoked for this!

This leads to the second update - I am really hoping that this can be started at least by the start of June. I have been poking a lot of people for ideas of when their recaps will be in, and everyone has been really great about responding, for the most part. Here's the thing - if you haven't either turned in your recapping or notified me with a general idea of when it will be turned in, I really need either or by May 25th. I'm not saying that's the drop-dead time for all recaps (although if anyone does have ones that can be turned in by that time, I'll be more than happy to take them), but I at least need you to sound off with something like "I'll have it in a week" or "It should be done by such-and-such time". Even if it's a general idea, I just need some confirmation.

If you don't at least touch base with me by May 25th, I will assume you've left the group sporking and give your chapters to someone else! I really don't want to be unfair, but I do want to keep this all moving and for that to happen, I need to at least know if everyone is still on board. Again, I'm not saying I'll drop anyone if they can't get their recaps done by May 25th, I'm only asking for everyone to get in contact with me, either by PM or commenting on a post, and saying "Yeah, still in, ought to be done by roughly next week/ tomorrow/ June 1st, etc"

Third update - I've had a lot of people ask me about the maximum length for their sporkings. There really is no maximum length. Just go with what feels comfortable and gets what you want said said. Don't feel you need to cut something just because you think the sporking is too long.

Finally, on an unrelated note, I finally got around to seeing Thor. It was fantastic, well-paced, a ton of fun, and I thoroughly approve of Chris Hemsworth's shirtless scene



Just so, you know, things aren't too depressing around here.

So yeah, that's about it! Happy sporking, everyone!

I missed the initial round of chapter claiming for some reason, but if someone begs off of their sporking, I'd be happy to pick one up if need be. I'm morbidly curious about this series but would never in a million years pay actual money for it - I'm excited about this upcoming group sporking!

(Cool story, bro: I saw Cassie Clare at a book signing once! It was like seeing a unicorn! I didn't actually meet her, but I was so gleeful that she actually existed that just seeing her was enough.)

Sure! And if not for this book, we're surely going to go ahead with City of Ashes and Glass, so there will be plenty of chances to get chapters for those. ^_^

Ha ha, really? XD I saw her on YouTube. I was amazed. Given the whole fanfiction thing and whatnot, I thought she was a teenager. O_o
