CAN EVERYBODY ENTER THE READATHON?
Yes, of course, the more the merrier!
DO I NEED TO WATCH ATLA/LOK TO JOIN THE READATHON?
Nope, you can enter even if you haven't read the shows! But of course, they're worth watching!
WHAT NATION AM I?
It is up to you which Nation you want to be. You can go online and search for a test that you think might help, you can chose the Nation you like most, you can base it on your personality or you can first have a look at all the different prompts and make your decision then. It's all up to you!
I REACHED LEVEL 5 IN JULY, DO I KEEP THOSE LEVELS IN JANUARY?
Certainly! You get to keep all finished levels, so if you read all books for a certain level then you can keep that for the next month the readathon returns. However, if you read only half the books for a level, then you will lose all progress on that level and start it again the next month the readathon returns. This works the same for groups and skills.
I'M NOT SURE IF THIS BOOK COUNTS FOR A CERTAIN PROMPT, HOW DO I FIGURE THAT OUT?
If the prompt has to do with a cover, for example ''a book with a sea creature on the cover'' then you can ask somebody from Team Avatar to decide if the cover works for the prompt (we are most prominent in the Discord server, but you can also reach us on Instagram and Twitter). If the prompt has to do with the book, for example ''escape from a prison'', then you can ask anybody you know that has read the book to decide for you if the book works for the prompt (easiest in the Discord server, there are a lot of people there).
If the prompt has to do with the color of a books cover, then you can use the book if the color is classified as the dominant color. You can check that using this website: https://imagecolorpicker.com/
CAN I READ A MANGA/COMIC/POETRY/SHORT STORY/AUDIOBOOK?
Everything that you read/that is qualified as a book counts, so yes, you can read all those! The only exception is when what you're reading doesn't have an ending (like an ongoing Webtoon or not yet finished fanfiction), because then you can never say that you ''finished'' the book.
CAN I READ A BOOK I ALREADY STARTED?
No, you have to read the book within the month of the readathon (or during one of the sprints in between). However, you can reread books for this readathon.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I DNF A BOOK?
First of all, that sucks! However, it's not all bad. If you read at least half of the book, you can count it for the prompt. But if you want to put it in the page counter, you can only put in the pages you actually read, so not the entire book.
CAN I READ ONE BOOK FOR TWO PROMPTS?
No, you can't. You need to read one book for every prompt. The only way to use one book for two prompts is to read that book twice in the month that the readathon is active.
(HOW) CAN I JOIN TEAM AVATAR?
For now joining Team Avatar is by invitation only (invitation will come from Elke). All current members from Team Avatar (except for Jess and Elke who created the readathon) were asked based on their activity and enthusiasm during/about the readathon. You do have the biggest chance of being noticed by Team Avatar when you're active in the Discord server, but it's not a must.
