I think it's gonna need a rehaul if its gonna work; if we just bring it back how it was it may just flop again.

Absolutely. I very much like reading and helping out and the OM bonus is a nice motivator.

I'm in agreement that it could probably use a bit of a rehaul or some adjustments to how it's handled, but I would be all for bringing it back. I would even put in the extra effort to not be a lazy little shit and participate, this time around.
If you see me around and you got questions, just give a shout. I'm happy to assist.

What is the book club?

Is it literally what it sounds like? Read books, get OM?

Short version: threads get selected for book club. Read said thread, review/critique them, get OM.

Ahh, well...

I don't object to such a thing existing, but I would have little to no interest in participating myself so, put me down as an ambivalent vote I guess.

@Dominator; It's a great way to get a bit of quick Feed Back on your writing.

For the rest of you: I was thinking of taking it back to the original version, when it first started and Sarah was running it. It was the most successful version of the system and I think it can still work.

I think it would be more successful if people were allowed to read any thread (other than their own) and be able to post it and critique it.

It's also a nice way to show writers who's been keeping up with their work.

@Trunks: I did that already, and it got less attention than I desired. Whether it was because of laziness, or people just thought it would be too hard to chose a specific thread.

Ah, Book Club. Something I had been meaning to bring back for a while now, but never got around to.  :froggonk: Not sure if anyone remembers, but I actually requested recommendations from the community for the Experimental Book Club I was planning. Incidentally, if anyone has additional suggestions, you can still post them there.

In any case, it's heartwarming to see that there is interest within the community for the Book Club's return. =)

Bring it back. Tell people they have to read something outside their like, circle of co-writers.

If it does well, cool.

If it flops, leave it dead because it'll never work.
