Stuti if you read FFs/ online fiction, we are now accepting anything that is a novella or more i.e 60 pages or 18000 words. If you have a word count for the story, all you need to do is divide by 300 (which is the ballpark figure for word count in a single print page) and log that to the nearest whole number. Would you like to sign up and try? No pressure and no judgment if you aren't able to read a lot. We get everyone has commitment, we just wanted this initiative to push people into reading as much as they can.

Oh wow! If we are counting online fiction too than sure... count me in .

We've decided to include FFs and online fiction provided a word count is available but to avoid dealing with larger numbers and to accommodate most people who will be reading physcial &/or e-books, we ask that you log in number of pages by dividing the total word count by 300 (which is taken as the average ballpark figure for word count per print page) .

You will need to tell us the Book/ Fic name and the author's name in your post but will PM a link of the story to your team captain.

If this is acceptable to you to sign-up, please let me know how many books I can put you in for for April

I’d still be in the 6-10 books. But I have a query. If it so happens I read more than 10 books ( including online fics) would that be a dealbreaker ?

Nope, we only ask so we can put you in a team such that every team is balanced in terms of reading pace. But if you do end up reading more, that’s a bonus for your team and it’s really what we’re aiming for with this challenge- to motivate and incentivise people to read more!

Great, what do you presume would be your reading pace?

I've no clue... can't we have wildcards (unpredictable people)

I'm a speed-reader... and rarely leave a book midway... so it only depends on how much time I get. But that is the one factor I can't predict... sorry 😐

Btw, does re-reading count? Where we are actually reading the whole thing through and not just skimming...? I'm due for a HP re-read

At my best, I could easily finish one medium-sized book per day... and this was while going about with a normal school / college day. As it so happens, these days, my schedule is so haywire that reading even one chapter per day is difficult. While I still read more than 200 pages worth of words every month... it mostly consists of online fan fiction where a page count is difficult. Not sure if I'll sign up for April... but if my schedule lightens up, I'll try going back to actual books for May

Thanks for the tag though @DreamOfEndless
