Reminder of Rules:

<10: The book has less than 10 chapters, you can read up to a maximum of 5 chapters only.

>10: If the book you're reading has more than 10 chapters, you can read as many chapters as you like.This also applies to the Story of The Week (SoTW).

1. Read the chapter(s) and comment in accordance with the guidelines below**.

2. Add a comment on this page with how many chapters you've given feedback on (including Story of The Week).

3. You can leave a vote if you want to, but this is not required.

**You must comment on each chapter you read, focusing on the Theme of The Week, and tag your comments with the hashtag #CCBC (This also applies to Story of The Week).

Comment & Feedback Guidelines:

1. Quality over quantity – your comment should be detailed and helpful to the author, aim to write at least 3 sentences of solid, theme-focused feedback!

2. The devil is in the detail – taking the time to write grammatically correct comments improves your own writing skills too!

3. Treat others how you want to be treated – while constructive criticism is invaluable, it can be disheartening, so be nice :)

4. For any questions or issues you can always send a message to Sara (Sara91Helal) or Olleanna (SomeGamerGirl), and we'll do our best to help you.     

5. If you don't complete your assignment, I'm afraid you won't get any scores for the next week until you finish BOTH WEEKS ASSIGNMENTS, and if you miss the deadline two weeks in a row, unfortunately you'd leave the club.

6. Assignments are updated every Tuesday at 10 am in Cairo's timezone (GMT +2).

Let's get started for this week!

Weekly themes focus on different aspects of storytelling, this way if paired with a member more than once, you get to give feedback on something different.and this week's theme is: Plot.

❝Plot refers to the sequence of events inside a story which affect other events through the principle of cause and effect. The causal events of a plot can be thought of as a series of sentences linked by "and so". Plots can vary from simple structures such as in a traditional ballad to complex interwoven structures sometimes referred to as an imbroglio. The term plot can serve as a verb and refer to a character planning future actions in the story.

In the narrative sense, the term highlights the important points which have important consequences within the story, according to Ansen Dibell. The term is similar in meaning to the term storyline.❞ ــ Wikipedia.

What to look for in Plot?

- Was the main plot clear and believable?

Did the main character have a clearly defined problem to solve? Did you feel by the end of the piece that this problem was solved or did the character become resolved to live with it?

Were you able to determine the time and place of the story quickly enough?

Did the story start at the right place? Did it end at the right place in the plot?

Are there scenes which do not seem to further the plot?

Was every subplot useful? Did it add to the overall story or did the author seem to stick it in just for complexity?

Pacing: Did the plot/subplots move fast enough to keep the reader's attention?

Resolution of conflict: Did the conflict and tension in the plots come to some reasonable ending? Or did the author leave us hanging, wondering what happened? When you finished, were there things that you still felt needed to be explained?

If the author did leave some conflict unresolved, did they indicate somewhere that future stories are pending?

This week, SpinyKyverna is AGAIN and AGAIN the winner! 🎉🎉

Make sure you comment on at least one chapter of my story Bachelor King according to the Theme of The Week, and the rules above, and don't forget to comment down here how many chapters you gave feedback on.

❝Akanthodis "Spiny" Kyverna has been sitting on the throne of Amarkia for nearly two millennia. His small kingdom is easily recognizable: it's inhabited by intelligent, speaking dinosaurs and other extinct creatures living alongside humans. Amarkia has reached remarkable feats in both science and personal living. Inside its borders, there is true equality, amazing technology, and a perfect set of laws given by the Creator Himself.

However, Spiny continues to struggle to cope with the fact that he can't discover who it was that destroyed his previously perfect life. With the help of his family and friends, his allies from across the stars, and his faith he and his army venture into the vastness of space, confronting powerful enemies of all kinds who have their own scores to settle with him--and each other.

However, the most dangerous enemy is one lurking inside Spiny himself: a forbidden form of justice he has no right to administer. Will he allow his lust for revenge to overtake him? Will his inner darkness guide his actions?❞
