Just yesterday there was a new group project posted for an Angela Brazil book. It makes sense to not have two similar books, by the same author, running at the same time. It dilutes the reader pool for both projects, leading to both of them taking longer than if they were run separately.

Do you still want to do this now, with this in mind?

(I'm full on MC projects; not offering to MC this.)
School fiction: David Blaize
America Exploration: The First Four Voyages of Amerigo Vespucci
Serial novel: The Wandering Jew
Medieval England meets Civil War Americans: Centuries Apart

Good point. Could you put it in hold? I might get back to it in a month or two.
