☆ ONC is almost over, and with it, the end of this book club—for now! Thank you all for being such wonderful members, and we hope you had a great experience with us. If you're interested in joining one of our other book clubs, we'd love to have you! Our Phoenix Guild has a structure nearly identical to this one, while our Unicorn Guild has a greater emphasis on receiving and providing constructive criticism. If you have any questions, please let us know!
☆ On that note, we'd like everyone's input on when this club should conclude. If you have a preference, please comment next to the following option(s)!
Option 1: End the club at the end of May, concluding with Assignment 4.5.
Option 2: End the club in the middle of June, concluding with Assignment 5.0.
Option 3: End the club at the end of June, concluding with Assignment 5.5.
Option 4: Other.
☆ Wattpad's private messaging system is ending soon, and we understand many of you preferred to use this system to communicate with us. Here are a list of alternative methods:
- Our Discord server, The Writer's Hoard, is the best place to get the fastest response. Along with the designated book club chat, the channel called "help tickets" will let you speak to the staff privately! Please see the link in our bio on our profile.
- In this book club, preferably in the ongoing assignment.
- On the community profile's message board.
- On our Instagram account (@/astaniacommunity).

RULES
An assignment runs for the entirety of a month (from the 1st to the last day of the month); there will be two assignment chapters per month (e.g. 1.0 and 1.5) to update points and add new members.
You must read at least 3 narrative chapters each month with at least 4 quality comments per chapter. You can choose which book you want to read. Some books may offer bonus points; see "Points" below to find out more! At the end of the month, the member with the most points will receive a shout-out from the community profile!
Reports must be submitted in the inline comments within 7 days of reading. This will make it easier for our admins to check. You'll have to submit your assignment before 11:59 pm EST.
POINTS
You earn points when you read, and reading certain books will give you an added bonus! The member with the most points will get a shout-out from the community profile.
Normal Chapter (at least 4 quality comments per chapter): 1 point per chapter
Staff Chapter (at least 4 quality comments per chapter): 2 points per chapter
Partner Chapter* (at least 4 constructive comments per chapter + 1 constructive outline comment per chapter OR at least 10 quality comments): 3 points per chapter
*NOTE: We cannot guarantee you will receive a partner each month, if at all, but the best chance of getting constructive feedback is to give it to other people as well.
PARTNERS
If you like a member's story, you can ask them to be your partner. Partnering with another member will ensure you receive reads.
To ask someone to partner with you, leave an inline comment in your section under "Partners" and politely tag them with your request! If someone refuses, please respect their decision.
Any reads and comments made before a partnership is formed will not count as partner chapters.
