Look at this horse i saw today! Am i correct it's a leopard?

Yes! It's a black or bay leopard, the light isn't good enough to tell which. E/_ LP/lp PATN1/_

Hi! I just want to say: thank so much for organising the animorphs book club. I was already vaguely planning to read animorphs, and having a regular schedule to stick to was the final push i needed.

And it was an amazing experience! Oh, I'm so-so glad i've read this series.

Now excuse me i have to go to figure out how to get back to myself after the last three books

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Did you know that FIFe has changed the EMS code of charcoal to 14?

I think that was a very good call.

Oh nice, I hadn’t seen that - I agree that it’s a good call. I’ll work on updating tags.

🥪 - Who didn't you know before it all started but now you root for them in every poll?

Also some own questions (answer as much as you like and leave the rest):

Is there any story you like very much but for whatever reason you couldn't include?

Did the preliminaries went as you imagined and/or hoped?

What was the most surprising thing so far in the tournament? Either regarding the submissions or the polls?

Thanks for the questions omg!

there have been quite a few stories ive fallen in love with through this tournament! Where Oaken Hearts Do Gather was one of my favorites, as well as A Guide For Working Breeds (rip). For upcoming stories, I like --And He Built A Crooked House--.

a few submissions were just too long for me to include, especially as i tried to be stricter about length at the start of submissions - The Ugly Little Boy by Isaac Asimov almost made me cry but it was just too long. also someone submitted 17776 and thats a kinda very long story but also... i should reread it, its great.

oh my god. preliminaries. the entire time i kept calling them pre-brackets. and the word preliminaries was right there. i was a fool. hehe omg. uuuh they went pretty much as i imagined! it was interesting to see people in my notes who were familiar with these works in ways im not (i actually havent read many Classics). maybe someone should run a tournament for every sherlock holmes story...

the need for preliminaries at all! i'll be honest i messed up a lot during the submissions period - i kinda assumed no one would be interested in this so i never limited submissions per person or author or decided on a word limit or capped the number of stories, and then i had to make do with the wild submissions ive gotten (though i'm happy with how it turned out). also - im surprised scandal in bohemia beat the end poem that handily, i wouldve thought the minecraft fandom would have posed a stronger threat. maybe if i'd called it the Minecraft End Poem instead of just the End Poem? oh, im also amazed at Man Door Hand Hook Car Door sweeping. its up against Cask of Amontillado next round, which is going to be insane. one last thing - its been fun to see the same people cropping up in my notes! feels like we've got a nice little community of bookworms here :3 i appreciate you all <3
