I think we'll be given clues, and we have to look stuff up in either the books or the movies?


Participating.

I'm usually appalling at scavenger hunts, but I'll join anyway. Especially if there are teams. :)

I guess it's about time I show my face in here, eh? So, basically Nienna and I will switch off posting 2 questions every week. One will pertain to the books and the other the movies. Perhaps we'll even throw in stuff from The Hobbit, The Silm, etc. To make things interesting. PM your answers to either Nienna or me [but not both!] and you'll receive 1 point for each correct answer. Wrong answers deduct points. Whoever has the most points by the end of the summer wins something. Perhaps a shiny title. We're still working on that. :)

Edit: And no teams. :P Because I don't know exactly how that will work.

Hmm.. well. I would love to join. But I do not own the books so that means I would not be able to figure out half of the clues :(
