Happy October!
Just to throw in a little variety, I thought I’d bring in a little quiz quest to challenge you!
How it works: Answer all of the questions (or as many as you can) and pm them to me, or email them to me at all_things_thespian@hotmail.com. Do NOT post your answers here. You have until October 4th at midnight (PST) to send in them in. After that I will declare a winner (and second place and third), depending upon the number of correct answers (the person with the most correct answers gets first, etc). If there is a tie, I will go by who sent in the answers first. I will also post the answers and everyone’s results.
There is one entry per player. In your email, please also state your player name and which character will get the prize if you win.
Fair warning, some of these questions may make your stomach churn.
And without further ado ...
