Guess the Author???

[Renee Stevens]

A thought I had, for kind of a fun blog feature, plus another chance for authors to get themselves out there.... What about doing a "Guess Who" blog feature? Authors would answer a few interview questions, but with some guidelines, and the community would try to guess who it is... Then in the weekly wrap up, we'd reveal the author, along with a link to up to two stories on GA that the author would like to promote?  If there's any interest, I'll start putting it together and then open it to sign ups

 

A sample question might be:

 

What prompted you to write your first story? (With this question, you wouldn't be able to give the story name)

[MacGreg]

Sounds like a fun way to engage. 

[Valkyrie]

I like it.  Sounds like a lot of fun   

[Parker Owens]

Oh, I like this one! Great idea. 

[Mikiesboy]

oh yes ... that does sound like fun! 

[Renee Stevens]

And if anyone has ideas for the questions, simply PM me!

Fun. Is there a prize if the author evades being guessed? Or for the reader should they guess correctly? Might be neat for a button or something.

I could maybe make a Guess Who Winner signature banner for those who guess correctly.... or for the author if they evade being guessed....

Sounds cool!

I warn you. I'm pretty good at dodging questions. Even I wouldn't be able to guess it was me!

Well, I never said authors can't guess on their own blog posts to try and throw the community members off their trail

Looks like there is enough interest, so I just need to come up with the questions and guidelines. If you'd like to sign up to have a Guess Who feature, PM me, and I'll PM you the list of questions as soon as I'm finished coming up with them. Should only take me a day or two! Then once I get enough backlog, I'll start posting whenever I have an open blog.

I imagine you're pretty artful at it

Little late to the party, but this sounds cute.

Better late than never! This is an open ended feature which will continue as long as I have content for it (so far, at one a year, I have enough for a year), so feel free to PM me if you want to get a spot in the queue
