If any of you have ideas for Feuds -_and would like me to score them_- PM me and I’ll get you on The List. **DO NOT READ THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU POST YOUR ANSWERS** Try to think of the most popular answer, to get the most people matching you. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points. _ **FORMATTING OF ANSWERS IS IMPORTANT!** _ **Write your answers like this** ; Do not repeat the questions, no periods at the end of answers, no spaces between lines, no comments, no fancy list coding. If you need to comment or clarify your answers, do it AFTER the list of answers. Thanks. JUST LIKE THIS: **1. answer 2. response 3. rejoinder** The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:00 PM Central on Wednesday, 8/13/08 whichever comes first. Good luck! 1. Name a well-known fiction author whose first name-last name initials are MT or TM. 2. Besides The Color Purple, name a work of fiction with a color or colors in title. 3. Name a work of fiction in which a brother and sister are among the main characters. 4. Name a work of fiction with people from real life intertwined. 5. Besides Fried Green Tomatoes . . . , name a work of fiction with food in the title. 6. Name a famous Parent-Child pair who are both fiction writers (not necessarily collaborators). 7.
