Welcome to Round 8 of the Fantasy and Science Fiction VBB!

NO BANANAS IN THIS BOX!!!!!!!!!! :P

Turn Time Limit Rules: (Stolen from the Paranormal VBB)

1. Turn time is 2 full days, so 48 hours from the time the update listing the player's turn is posted.
2. If two days is a problem for you (i.e. you can't get online during the weekends, or will be on a trip, etc.) please let me know so that I can put a note by your name and allow you extra time.
3. If the full 48 hours has passed with no word from the player, the next player will go, and the missing player will be moved down 1 space. We will do this 3 times, but without the 2 day time limit each time. A player skipped in this way will only have the time it takes for the next three people to take their turns to check in before being dropped to the bottom of the list (this is all if we have not heard from the player). It will look like this: 2 days, skip, skip, skip, bottom. If a player is skipped in this way and/or placed at the bottom, that spot will become their new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled.
4. The Box Organizer will be the time keeper and determine a skip or bottom placement.
5. New players will be accepted during play and added to the bottom of the list.

On Your Turn:

1. Select the number of books that you want to take out of the box and list them in your post.
2. Replace those with the same number of books (or more if you like) and link to the journal entries for your book(s).
3. If any of your books have "**" in front of them, you MUST replace them when your turn comes up.
4. If you decide to skip, you have the option to ask to be placed at the bottom of the list for another try. If you do this, that will become your new permanent spot until the list is reshuffled. (Reshuffling will happen after every 2 rounds.)
5. If you are willing and able to do the update, please do so. Before posting, verify that you've (1) listed your move in the Moves section, (2) added to the list of books the ones you're putting in, (3) removed from the list of books the ones you're taking out or replacing, and (4) listed the books you're taking out in the Books Out of Play section at the bottom, indicating they are going to you. (This is all fairly easy to do with cut and paste so long as you remember all the steps.) If you're new, don't worry about doing updates just yet!

Books in the box with ** in front should be replaced this round, on your turn, thanks!

confirming

:wave:

confirming

:wave: confirming I couldn't wait for this vbb last week. I went to a ubs in Allentown and bought like 5 or 6 books to use in this..

Confirming.

May have patchy connection for the next month - intending to move at the end of this month. I'll try to keep my bookshelf updated.

confirming

Confirming! I'll have to start thinking of two books to replace my two ** books!

confirming

I'm here :wave:

I'm going to have to replace mine also.. I have no idea what I'll put in! :rolleyes:

Hmm, actually, now that I think about it..... Is there any way this box will start early? I'm leaving on the 15th for a long trip..I'm not sure what my internet access will be like until August 3rd (once I'm home again).. :rolleyes:

If it isn't possible for the box to start early enough for me to take my turn, I'll just leave info for replacing my book... :wacko:

Confirmicus! :wizard:

We'll start whenever appa shows up.

Thanks! :)

Sooo, has Appa been PMed? :whistle: :lol:

No...

You can PM her if you want. :lol:

Okay, I PM'ed Appa. :P

Also, just in case you missed it in the other VBB threads (or this is the only VBB you're in...)

It came up in the Teen VBB that people are uncomfortable updating, I created a Fake VBB (with VERY few books in it) so people can practice updating and not mess up a real VBB.

http://bookobsessed.com/index.php?showtopic=1994&st=0&

Feel free to add yourself, practice adding books, etc. :)

And don't feel like because your name isn't on the list/isn't up next that you can't go. I just randomly selected a couple of names so there would be a list. If you need/want to practice updating, use it!

Confirming. :)

Three PMs, you guys aren't anxious to start or anything, are you? :P It's late and I have to go to bed. I don't know if it's against the rules or not, but I'd be happy to switch places with AM so that she can take her turn before she leaves and the bookbox can start earlier. I probably won't be able to take my turn until tomorrow evening at the earliest. :unsure:

Well, if you're okay with it and AM wants to, that's fine. :shrug: I guess whichever one of you gets here to make a move first will be # 1 and the other will be # 4

Confirming

Oh heavens i have loads to replace

confirming

Thank you Appa for your offer.. :) Another option would be just to leave the play order as it is, because I'm only replacing and not taking anything out.. :D

I'm replacing: **The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King (AM10000)

With:

Wrapt in Crystal by Sharon Shinn Unregistered TBR (AM10000)

um can I join by any chance or is this closed to new members?

I am working doubles the next three days but will try to check in - inbetween one job and the other! :wink:

Yes new players are welcomed. I'm sure when there is an update, they'll add you to the list

oh good :dance: fantasy is another love of mine Alter (btw: still heading off to Otakon next week right oh?)
