Some more rules for judges.

As you are done reading a book, you have to do inline comment in front of the books you'll complete reading.

Example like this :-

Done reading book name here by me.

That's it, do not tag yourself & the writer in the comment. Strict warning.

We don't want to see any kind of talks between participants and judges, you can talk as friends, but regarding the awards, strict no.

The judgements/reviews of books have to be sent through Google Docs, in the pms only, just send the link there. The judgements can also be sent on Discord (if someone prefers that app). We'll send our id, you can send through there.

Google Docs & Discord, anyone can be used for sending judgements.

For Google Docs, you have to give the access to edit already because then we won't be able to copy paste your reviews here.

Discord account will be only given when you'll complete writing all the five reviews.
