Oh, have FUN with that one.

"Sins of the Fathers" annoys me as a chapter title. Not because it's bad, but because it reminds me of Children of Eden, and I don't want to have to associate that musical with this thing. "A Stone of the Heart", on the other hand, just sounds awkward.

This is rather late, but I just now noticed that.

...Dear Lord, it's VICTORIA TODD. VICTORIA FUCKING TODD.

Aw, I have to wait a bit >< . But I am definitely looking forward to this!

I was a first-timer last round, and my advice to first-timers this round is to not be afraid of writing too much. When I wrote my recaps I was afraid of being too lengthy and I cut back, but after reading everyone's I regret it now.

And I agree with the new rules you made, zelda_queen. By the way, are you still collecting Final Assessments for City of Bones?

I agree with this comment. My chapter was the first recap I ever did, and I was really not sure how to do it. I've been doing a few after that, while experimenting with different styles, and I know a bit more what I want to go for now. But yes, I really cut mine short, not just because my chapter was really boring and pointless. XD;

Yeah. ^^; Given that there's four more books to this series, plus the three in that Infernal Devices series, there's plenty for everyone. XD

I second that advice. Personally, I love long recaps that really tear into the heart of what's stupid and weird about something. That's why I got so into Mervin's recapping's of Twilight.

I certainly am! The information about leaving a final assessment can be found here: http://zelda-queen.livejournal.com/98467.html

Feel free to just post it in the comments section, or e-mail or PM it to me if that's more convenient! :)

I can help people find a copy of CoA, so if they need one, have them send me a message. It's not something I want to mention publicly.

I'll take chapter two. If another strikes my fancy later, I'll let you know.

I'd be interested in signing up for this! I've never recapped a book before, but I guess this would be a great way to learn!
If no one else has bagsy'd it, I'd like to recap the prologue, please.

Nope! It's all yours! :)
