Extravulnerum HALLOWEEN READ-A-THON 2022

[Zules]

Welcome to the read-a-thon!
This read-a-thon runs from midnight October 28 - end of October 31 UTC time (UTC clock on home page). Please don't participate 'til then!

In this event, read pages of Exvulnerum and affiliate comic EXTRA! to earn badges, a chance at prizes, and new perspectives on two awesome webcomics!

-

How does it work?

For every chapter of Exvulnerum or EXTRA! you read (or reread) and comment on starting October 28th, you will earn a badge! You will earn one badge per chapter read, and the person who gets the most badges for each comic will win a prize!

Requirements to earn a badge:

• Read a chapter in its entirety -- not reading the full chapter is cheating!
• Comment on at least one page of the chapter on the comic's website
• Screenshot or link to your comment(s) here in this thread to receive credit and claim your badge! Only one comment is required per badge/chapter.

This is also a social event, so feel free to chat in this thread with the authors, encourage your fellow readers to grab all the badges they can, and just talk about your webcomic reading experience!!

If you want to see how the Read-A-Thon looks in action, check out last year's thread!

PRIZES
- The person who earns the most EXTRA! badges will choose ONE of the following prizes:

• a digital illustration by EXTRA! creator, Christy / @StickFreeks ! (No NSFW or objectionable requests allowed. Drawing will be limited to one character only.)
• OR books 1 & 2 of EXTRA! shipped to you!

(In the event of a tie, the prize winner will be chosen at random.)

- The person who earns the most Exvulnerum badges will choose ONE of the following prizes:

• a digital illustration by Exvulnerum creator, Zules (me)! (No NSFW or objectionable requests allowed.)
• OR a juicy Exvulnerum plot spoiler (You will be told in private and asked to keep it secret until it's revealed to everyone!)

(In the event of a tie, the prize winner will be chosen at random.)

Your profile is a mischievous vampire amber. You should be laughing evily in the shadows in a cloak as the misguided fools bumble around in their own inadequacy.

So far we have a bunch of Exvulnerum readers here, so I'll ask: how many of y'all have read EXTRA! ?

 

[Zules]

@StickFreeks have you read EXTRA! ?

 

[TheJLT]

I- uh.... no. However, I will be getting those badges. So you can count on me having read it in the future.

Aren't you counting your chickens???

Well, I'm excited to read your thoughts about EXTRA! !!

I said that YOU could count on me having read it. I never said that I was going to get the tokens, nor the grand prizes.

 

[Zules]

I said that YOU could count on me having read it. I never said that I was going to get the tokens, nor the grand prizes.

Very well. I'll count on you and I'll count your chickens, too.

 

[TheJLT]

Very well. I'll count on you and I'll count your chickens, too.

Thank you.
