Both Weis and McCaffrey are female, so they are out.

Ok, so that rules out Roddenberry, Lovecraft and Poe, leaving

Robert Jordan
Stephen King
L.E. Modesitt
Charles Pellegrino

something keeps telling me it's a Stephen King character.... but I can't think of which one meets all the criteria (actually, I can think of one, but can't remember her name LOL)

I'm thinking that some of the bitchier Aes'Sedai might fit the bill

Who am I? - 20 Question Game

I am thinking of a person, real or fictional, living or dead.

The group can ask 20 questions to try to figure out the identity of the mystery person.

I will only answer yes or no (maybe a little more info ).

A guess will be sent ONLY via PM - and does not count towards the question count.

Only one guess per person per day allowed.

The first person to correctly guess the person is the winner, and gets one (1) Sherlock point.

Ask away!

I have a question about this game . . . Does the "you can't guess if you won the preceeding challenge" rule apply? I don't see it mentioned at the top of the thread. If it does apply, I have probably broken it!

You are definetely allowed to posit questions, but I dunno if you can make guesses

Because this is a multi-question game and not related to one author I think you can participate every time you arn't answering questions. Also the criteria is to wait 5 days - most PM guesses (not questions) don't happen until after 5 days. So I propose that you can participate from the begining.

1. Is your person a work of fiction? YES
2. Is your person female? YES
3. Is the author of this fiction male? YES (Long Answer: The author I'm thinking about is male - several people have written about this charater.)
4. Is the work of fiction FANTASY? YES
