Before you start reading this thread, please note that there are spoilers from both the Harry Potter series and the Wheel of Time. Make sure you have read ALL OF THE HARRY POTTER SERIES and at least all of THE GATHERING STORM in the Wheel of Time. Now. I chose these two, because they are what I like to call triple agents. They present themselves to the heroes as on their side, while also reporting in to the villains, but really, they're on the villain's side to help the heroes' side, but for their own reasons. Confusing, yes? I'll present a new question each day for us to discuss. If you get behind and need to do some make-up, I'm completely fine with that. …

The festivities have begun! If you wish to join in the ball send me a PM, there is no limit to how many can play at a time. Once you send me a PM you will be assigned a character fromt eh Fantasy or Sci-Fy realm. You don't need to act COMPLETELY like the character, but you do need to put some effort into it. The object for others will be to guess your character, and you must also try and guess theirs. Guesses will be submitted via PM, any guesses posted in this thread will not count, there is no penalty for incorrect guesses and guesses are awarded on a first come first serve basis according to PM time stamps. You can ask other players questions on thread if you wish, t…

This game is inspired by the Harry Potter series. In the book, characters could send messages to eachother via the Owl Post; in this game, the basis is the same. Each post acts as a letter, and you may send a letter to/from any character and/or author in the realm of the Fantasy world. Only rules are, - no double posts please - any owl post sent must be addressed to the sender of the previous owl post - keep the letters PG-13. Ex: Post #1 - Dobby, you suck, i totally pwned you at the MTV awards a few years back. So Not Yours, Smeagle & Ghollum ---------------------------------- Post #2 - Dear Mr. Multiple-Personality-…

In every sci-fi/fantasy story, the author is charged with an unusual task. They have to make up an entirely different world from the one they live in! This may seem like an aruduous task at first, but it can also be pretty fun and liberating. In this discussion, I'll pose a new question every day about established sci-fi/fantasy worlds AND worlds that you yourself are building or have built. Feel free to ignore whichever question you don't want to answer. If you come in late and want to answer a question from a previous day, please do so. :) Day 1: Established sci-fi/fantasy worlds - What is your favorite sci-fi/fantasy world? Why? Creating sci-fi/…

Welcome to The BLUECON discussion of the Lord of the Rings. This week we will talk all about LotR and the rest of the Tolkien's Middle Earth. I will be starting things off with a few questions each day. Feel free to join in and add your own. Remember that everyone is here to have fun talking about a great story that we enjoy. Be respectful of others opinions and let us keep it as positive as possible or I shall have to call on Illuvatar. When was the first time you read "the books"? What did it mean to you? For me it was my eleventh summer. It was the first full sized novel I had ever read for the sheer enjoyment of it. My eyes were opened to the greatness of being tr…

It is said that "you can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse." So, if you were given the items of a WT lady's purse, would you be able to guess whose purse it is? Let's see!!!! So, I'll list the items of a purse and give you four options of whose purse it might be. You'll get one point for guessing correctly. You can also get points through "analyzing" the items of the purse and explaining your thinking--BE NICE Ladies, if your name is one of the options, I'm sorry but you cannot guess :P I promise to not have anyone's name in this more than twice! Also, each purse will be open to guesses the whole time, so no revealing if it was yo…
