bordelond, in case you haven’t figured out this bit of the house rules, now that 20 DQs have been answered each player who was awarded a DQ during the course of the round gets to ask one final DQ, which must be phrased as “Are you [FirstName LastName]?”
Yeah, the extra time for more DQs is a little strange, but I’ll bite:
DQ1: Is the setting where you appear recognizably Earth?
DQ2: If DQ1 is Earth, is the setting in the past? If not, is the technology used mostly less than modern?
Like the rest of you, I’m not particularly hopeful on this one.
There were several still-unasked DQs, including three in the very post which brought us to 20 (21, actually), so I thought I’d give you all a chance to ask 'em and narrow the field.

OK, discuss amongst yourselves, if you like, but please ask all earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by noon Weds. EST.
I’m wondering if the mystery guest is from historical fiction, but such characters were actually real in most cases.
Possible girl names that begin with Un-Ur include Una, Undine, Unice, Unity, Urania, Urbana and Ursula. All I can think of is the octopus witch who stole Ariel’s voice.
There certainly exists historical fiction that doesn’t use real characters, or the SFish/past stuff makes me wonder if there’s a British Connie Willis…
