RULES AND THINGS
1. You must be an accepted member of ![[info]](https://www.scribbld.com/img/community.gif) equations to join this community.
2. The membership here is moderated for that purpose. We have 2 full-time mods and 1 part-time mod, all in different time zones, so it won't be long before your membership is approved.
3. Immediately following the approval of your membership, it is mandatory that you post an Introductory Post.
4. After that, you may suggest / comment / discuss as you wish.
5. Rudeness will not be tolerated. Other member's opinions should be respected at all times. This community is supposed to be about fun and reading, we won't tolerate any drama.
6. The length of the books suggested must not exceed 600 pages. Because of our limited reading time, anything over 600 pages is unreasonable.
7. Do not be offended if your book is not chosen. You may submit the book for voting again next time. The limit to this rule is 3. If after 3 times of being in the running your book has not been chosen, you will not be allowed to suggest it again.
8. We will be reading on a 6 week system. We will spend 4 weeks reading each book and 2 weeks discussing it. Two weeks after a book has been started, a new Book Suggestions post will be put up. After voting, you will have roughly 2 weeks to acquire the book. Once the 4 weeks of the first book are over, we will simultaneously begin discussing it and also reading the second book. The cycle will repeat from there.
9. During each discussion period, a post will be linked in the sidebar with a few questions to be answered by the members. They will comment the Main Discussion Post with their answers and will be able to discuss them with others in the post. If you have a discussion topic that wasn't mentioned in the questionnaire, feel free to post something separately. You will not be confined to the single discussion thread, but it's important to not have several posts circulating that address the same points.
10. After the 2 weeks of discussion, the post will be sent to the "Past Reads" area of the community. Discussion posts will remain open if members are still active in the thread, but the link will be moved from the side bar to the Past Reads post.
