Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
Were any of the works in which the character appears nominated for a Hugo Award, Nebula Award, World Fantasy Award, or Locus Award?
(Technically, authors are nominated, but what I mean here is: was the author nominated for any of those awards for the work in which the character appears)

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
Are there any comic book character that have appeared in novels? I'm not sure where else that distinction could come from.
Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
I'd like to specify this is not an official question, just a suggestion for the class.
Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
Short stories, possibly. A lot of fantasy authors in that time period started in short stories and then move on to novels.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
In the novel in which he first appears, is he younger than the age of 23 for the majority of the book?

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
I kind of feel like narrowing the publication date of the first novel in which he appeared. Seems like the most efficient way to get there. What do y'all think about that?

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
We've got plenty of questions, but I don't think we should take more than 2-3 get narrow this down?Balki Bartokomous wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 8:15 pmI kind of feel like narrowing the publication date of the first novel in which he appeared.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
Does the story the character appears in take place in our world?
If so: My free guess is Alvin Maker.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
We already have that he first appeared in a novel from 1980-1989. Maybe we should try and figure out more about his prior non-novel appearances that Chaqa has implied do exist.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 85
Yes, with two caveats:
- I am interpreting *the story* to mean *the full story*
- It need not take place *exclusively* or *primarily* in our world
