Oh, I thought you meant pending DQs as: DQ Summary 1. Fictional 2. Male 3. Created by American authors 4. Human 5. First published 1945 or later 6. Yes I have appeared in a movie. 7. My last name does not start with ‘Z’ 8. Originally from film or TV which makes it easier to consult and lets us know how many DQs have been asked out of our 20.
