Fall Contest - Q & A Thread
The MobileRead Fall Contest is now live! The first episodes have been posted in the Announcements Forum (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=104838). The story thread has been locked to permit easy reading/reviewing of episodes as the suspense builds.

This thread is for readers to post questions, beg for hints, flaunt their own theories, etc.

Also, since we were a bit rushed for time trying to launch on Halloween (we only finalized our sponsors yesterday!) we were unable to line up translators for the entire story. Members for whom English is not their first language, or who are having trouble understanding any parts of the story, are encouraged to post their questions here, where bilingual or multilingual MR members can provide explanations. Let's all jump in and have a fun time together!

What a great idea to lock the thread.......will make reading much easier.

I must say, that music (yes, I pressed the button!) is eerie to say the least. (shudders)

How often will new chapters appear??

Well, I'm "green" and I just know that my last name is not "meanie"...

And recluse, apparently.

Links I can't access.
Finally finding the damn thread, only to discover "spoilers" that send my Kindle back to the top of the page and bloody little else.

Quote:
an early electronic musical instrument controlled without contact from the player. It is named after its Russian inventor, Professor Léon Theremin, who patented the device in 1928. The controlling section usually consists of two metal antennas which sense the position of the player's hands and control oscillators for frequency with one hand, and amplitude (volume) with the other, so it can be played without being touched. The electric signals from the theremin are amplified and sent to a loudspeaker.

The theremin is associated with a very eerie sound, which has led to its use in movie soundtracks
FYI

And yes - some of the frequencies could be freaky for dogs

Her sentence still doesn't make sense.

And, in a command decision, I have decided that since I cannot participate fully in this contest, I have chosen someone to play in my place.

dreams

She will play for herself, without aid from me.

This seems reasonable to me.
