Who is ready for the BDSM Gang Bang?
Basic rules for the BDSM Gang Bang
Rule 1. You must sign up by Midnight US Eastern Time on March 20th and make your participant list post on the discussion thread.
Rule 2. You will have from Midnight on March 20th through Midnight March 31st to chose your picks for the other participants. You may make your selections on any basis you like - perhaps you've already read the book and recommend it, or you've heard good things about it, or you think it's a book which that particular participant would like, or the cover/blurb makes you hot and wet. There is no wrong recommendation.
You may choose 1, 2, or 3 books. Since this will not be a huge challenge if you only want a picker to select ONE choice please note that in the discussion post (this is for all those that like to be told what to do and have their choice taken away- you know who you are!)
Rule 3. When you send your picks do so by PM through Goodreads. Do not post your picks on a board. If you do not have a Public Profile set to access messages, you MUST friend the other participants.
Rule 4. You may commence reading as of April 1, 2012. Your goal is to complete your books by June 30, 2012. You can read them in any order you like.
Rule 5. This is a BDSM challenge, so you must pick BDSM books. There are no BDSM police but Sir has his whip handy.
How does the Gang Bang work?
We will have a 3 month period to read all the books selected for us by each participant. If there are XX people participating, there will be XX books we each will read. It is encouraged that we pick one for ourselves.
Each participant will review other participant’s pick me shelf and select 3 books for that person to read. Follow the steps below, one by one. If you have questions, please feel free to contact BookAddict.

Step 2 Create TWO bookshelves
Create a bookshelf everyone can access to see which books they can pick from. For an example of a BDSM bookshelf, click here. Remember, these are books YOU want to read that have not been read yet. Now post the shelves in the Discussion thread below so people know where to look for your pick me shelf.
If you need more BDSM books, check the BDSM bookshelf.
Create a separate bookshelf to move the ones selected into a picked bookshelf. See this example.
Step 3 Selecting books for others
Go to each participant’s post and find their bookshelf. Pick 3 books you recommend them to read.
Step 4 Sending your selections for other participants
Go to their profile and send them a message with the 3 choices off their book list. Do NOT post your selections for them in the discussion or participate threads for each participant.
Step 5 Receiving selections from other participants
Once you receive selections from others, pick 1 of the 3 books, switch them to your challenge bookshelf.
You do not have to read all 3 choices from a person. You only need to select 1 of them. The reason why we ask for 3 is in case people send you the same book choice before you update your shelf. This way, you don't have to ask a person for another choice.
Step 6 Ready to Start!
You are now ready to start the challenge on April 1st!
