20Q: The FOFC Game - Page 4

SirFozzie · 08-05-2009, 01:43 PM

BTW, 10 wrong so far

DaddyTorgo · 08-05-2009, 01:43 PM

oh i just guessed blindly, but based on a couple of the things we know my guess makes no sense i suppose.

didn't know about the vampires and dragons

gstelmack · 08-05-2009, 02:01 PM

I was thinking McCaffrey, I have no clue who this could actually be.

MikeVic · 08-05-2009, 02:05 PM

My only guess would've been the Twilight girl, or the Sookie Stackhouse girl. So I have no guesses.

DaddyTorgo · 08-05-2009, 02:19 PM

I don't think anyone's gonna get it. Too obscure FTW!

SirFozzie · 08-05-2009, 02:27 PM

Mercedes Lackey:

I'm utterly shocked that an author with nearly fifty books to her credit is described as too obscure:

Mercedes Lackey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Other bits:

She decided to end one of her series, the Diana Tregarde series (the one that had to do with amongst other things, Vampires), due to low sales. Some of her fans were so fanatical about this series that they actually issued death threats! This caused her to stop attending Conventions for quite a few years, and she actively hates the series now.

SirFozzie · 08-05-2009, 02:28 PM

Ok. I've created a new game, with a "less obscure" target:

Fozzie, Round 2:

I'm thinking of a PERSON.

boberot · 08-05-2009, 02:28 PM

Crap, had I another guess it would have been between her and Andre Norton.

yeah, but there's a lot of authors in that genre who write a lot of books. i think the problem is that none of her series were reconizeable to people without a deep sci-fi/fantasy knowledge.

even some with a semi-decent knowledge (myself) had never heard of any of her key series.

DaddyTorgo · 08-05-2009, 02:37 PM

Is this person a female?

Actually, two people had made her the second or third choice, but decided to guess someone else

But, it's a new game, and let's see how this one turns out

Passacaglia · 08-05-2009, 04:45 PM

ah, never mind, I couldn't have been right anyway

SirFozzie · 08-05-2009, 04:45 PM

I didn't count your guess as a guess, just bad timing, I re-read the question and realized I had put in the wrong answer.

So Passacaglia still has a guess

EDIT: He wants it to count, because he didn't actually see #14.. so Ok.. One Down

Passacaglia · 08-05-2009, 04:48 PM

No, I don't -- thinking more about it, my guess was wrong all over the place.

RomaGoth · 08-05-2009, 04:51 PM

If I was sure that people were off track last round, I'm absolutely sure of it this round. I was thinking enough people were aware of this person to make it a good round.

If I get through round 2, I'm going with something absolutely simple for the third go-round :P

Mustang · 08-05-2009, 05:29 PM

Do they play in a sport with timed periods? (don't have to be called periods.. so, don't take it too literally)
