Welcome to the Kitsune Guild, Assignment 4.5!
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───
NEWS
☆ Thanks to those who told us their preference for when this club should conclude! For now, we intend to end around June 15 with Assignment 5.0 being the final assignment. We understand that everyone may be running out of new chapters to read, but never fear! Starting with this assignment, we will allow everyone to read any story written by another member. The same commenting rules will apply. Just remember that when making reports, please include all of the relevant information to make things easier for our staff. This includes the story title, the writer's username, the chapters read, and the type of story (normal/partner). Because this is a book club for ONC though, we ask that everyone do their best to complete the ONC stories submitted to this club before moving on to other stories. Thank you!

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.
