1. How is a raven like a writing desk? I know I've heard that riddle before, but unfortunately, I can't remember the answer!

2. If you could live in the world of any book or series, which would you pick? That's too hard... Middle-Earth?

3. Ranger Wars!: Who would win if Aragorn and Halt had a fight? Halt.

4. Wizard Wars I!: Who would win if Gandalf and Dumbledore had a fight? Oh. I don't know...

5. Wizard Wars II!: Gandalf and Merlin? Merlin

6. Wizard Wars III!: Merlin and Dumbledore? Merlin

7. Would you rather attend Hogwarts or H.I.V.E.? Hogwarts, of course! I've heard of HIVE, and it sounds like a good book series, but actually going there?! Of course not!

8. What's the first person or thing that comes to mind when you hear the name Sam? Sam Gamgee.

9. What book are you currently reading or re-reading? I'm rereading The Fellowship of the Ring and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and reading The World Anthology of Physics, Astronomy, and Mathematics. I normally just read one book at a time, but for some reason I'm not right now. I don't know why.

10. What is the answer? 42? I haven't read HG2G, actually, but I think you probably have (Why? Well, the person I think you probably are definitely has, and you seem to be the sort of person who would like it--so if you haven't read it, I think you should--and your answer to number 13 implies that you really like the number 42 for some reason--I think most people would have said '42,609,' which puts considerably less emphasis on the '42' bit), and I don't know what else it would be, and to be honest, it was the first thing that popped into my head. You know that everyone on a forum you post on is addicted to HG2G when someone asks a question and the first answer you think of is 42, despite never having read HG2G yourself.

11. If you became an Animagus and could pick your form, what animal would you choose? Can I be a hippogriff?

12. Are you doing NaNoWriMo? I signed up for it, but... See the post in Inkwell I'll make sometime today.

13. If yes, what's you're current word count? N/a.

14. Have you been able to identify every book reference I've made so far? Yes! As far as I know, anyway. Well, not the raven and writing desk one, but...

15. Take the first book character that pops to mind. Put their name as your name. Done!

16. Take your age and multiply it by your sibling's age/siblings' ages. Put this number as your age. Done!

17. Was this fun? Yes!

18. Guess who I really am. ZNZ

19. What does SBC say? Gkwr. Geek war? Gack water?

To the top! Post-Mortem Communications! 

@Rosie: You're Mattie, right? The LotR obsession is a definite clue. Rosie Cotton was the one Sam ended up marrying, right? And HIVE is the Higher Institute of Villainous Education. 

@Luna: You're Ima, aren't you? You have a very distinctive style. 
@Everyone: I'm going to write to reveal my true name, but by now you should be able to guess. *smiles mysteriously*

9. What book are you currently reading or re-reading? I am currently rereading Going Solo by Roald Dahl. It is his autobiography, and nothing like his fictional works. I highly recommend it.

10. What is the answer? 42.

11. If you became an Animagus and could pick your form, what animal would you choose? I honestly have no idea. Some sort of bird?

12. Are you doing NaNoWriMo? No, sorry.

1. How is a raven like a writing desk? If you kick them, they'll both squawk. A badly built writing desk, anyway. 

2. If you could live in the world of any book or series, which would you pick? Mmm. That's not quite fair . . . . probably Narnia.

3. Ranger Wars!: Who would win if Aragorn and Halt had a fight? What's the terrain? weather? Has Halt drunk coffee lately? What's at stake? Too many variables.

4. Wizard Wars I!: Who would win if Gandalf and Dumbledore had a fight? Dumbledore. Gandalf is cool, but Dumbledore could just zap a body-bind hex at him and it would all be over.

5. Wizard Wars II!: Gandalf and Merlin? Gandalf.

6. Wizard Wars III!: Merlin and Dumbledore? Dumbledore. See number 4

7. Would you rather attend Hogwarts or H.I.V.E.? Not knowing what HIVE is, I'll say Hogwats.

10. What is the answer? 42, dooey

11. If you became an Animagus and could pick your form, what animal would you choose? Probabaly a bird, maybe a sea gull.

12. Are you doing NaNoWriMo?  Yes, sort of. I'm not willing to let it push aside school, which means I've written only about 6,000 words.

13. If yes, what's you're current word count?

14. Have you been able to identify every book reference I've made so far? Missed one. But just one, I think.

15. Take the first book character that pops to mind. Put their name as your name. Jack Merridew. Crud. I don't wanna be him! 

16. Take your age and multiply it by your sibling's age/siblings' ages. Put this number as your age.

17. Was this fun? Yeah, I guess.

Or a magical writing desk.

"terrain? weather? Has Halt drunk coffee lately?" 

You have no idea how hard that made me laugh. XD Also, I am glad someone besides me knows who Halt is. It's depressing that so few have heard of him.

I've heard of him! Some other people here have, as well. I don't remember who those are, though.
