A word game

There's this game wot [livejournal.com profile] commodorified started which is quite neat but I can't remember what it's called and her journal crashes my browser (and how weird is that).

So anyway it's a virtual drinking game and goes as follows:

In round one, each letter of the alphabet (in the conventional order) gets a pub and the pub name must be of the form 'animate thing' and 'inanimate thing'. So one might have 'Tomcat and Tyre Iron'.

In the second round one adds a place, as in 'the Tomcat and Tyre Iron in Toxteth' except that using the same drink or pub elements are not allowed.

In round three one acquires a drink as in 'Tea at the Tomcat and Tyre Iron in Toxteth'.

In round four one acquires a drinking companion as in 'Tea with Tracy at the Tomcat and Tyre Iron in Toxteth'.

Final rule, all new entries are to be posted as a reply to this entry NOT as a reply to a comment. Comments may only be replied to to heap praise or scorn on the poster etc.

I hope you are taking notes...

So someone begin with 'A'

So, some folks ([livejournal.com profile] coyotegestalt, [livejournal.com profile] redhilltown and [livejournal.com profile] kinetikatrue) have done rounds of literary boticelli, and I won the last one, so I'm hosting this round. I love word games, what can I say. In-depth directions for the game can be found here on kinetikatrue's page. It's layed out all pretty nicely, so I suggest you go read and come back. But basically, the question you ask must be specific enough that I can answer confidently with a particular author or character (as in, "no, I'm not Elizabeth Bennett"). If I don't get the reference, you get to ask a more general question that can be answered with a yes or no, such as the person's sex, age, nationality, etc.

So, my name begins with S.

ETA: I am a male, fictional character created after 1900 by someone British. I am not North American. My exploits take place in something closely resembling the real world. I am not any kind of Smith, Eustace Scrubbs, Jonathan Strange or Mr. Smee.

ETA2: One at a time please folks. Form an orderly queue.

It's a quiet, rather dull day in Toronto and I can't play rugby today because of the Evil Shoulderâ„¢. So, modeled after [livejournal.com profile] kinetikatrue's version, how about a round of Literary Botticelli?

The Rules )

My name begins with 'W'. I am a male fictional character. I appear in a work written after 1900 by a male European author.

[livejournal.com profile] curtana and [livejournal.com profile] forthright correctly figured out that I am Brother William of Baskerville, Franciscan sleuth and pal of Roger Bacon, from the fertile imagination of Umberto Eco. I guess [livejournal.com profile] curtana and [livejournal.com profile] forthright have earned the right to set the next puzzle though insisting that they have to have a character beginning with 'X' seems unnecessarily harsh.
