The Rules, in case you are new to this: DON’T READ THE THREAD BEFORE YOU POST!
Post your responses to the questions below; after there have been 50 responses, I will double the value of the response to each question to come up with the Survey Says. Don’t assume the game is over just because there are 50 posts–sometimes I drop in with scoreboards, lists of responses so far, etc. mid-game.
You want to post what you think the most popular answer will be. If all 50 respondents have the same answer as you, you will get 100 points like in Family Feud. After 50 responses have been posted (including my own, since I can’t keep from playing this myself), I will tabulate the results, declare the winner, and post the scoreboard. There are ten questions and 1000 possible points; Dolores Reborn, the defending champion, won with 532 points, which AFAICT is a record in both Family Feud and Trivial Feud (the record low seems to be 151 in Family Feud Part IV, though there was a conspicuous lack of scoring in some of them, and a few of the threads are missing). Results of TFPI are here.
“Pass” is considered an answer–that is, the more people pass on the same question, the more points you get–but don’t hesitate to use a search engine to find another answer if you can’t come up with one off the top of your head. But remember that it’s not important to find a factual answer–you’re trying to find the answer that the most people will choose. Historically, passing has generally not been worth many points, although it worked for one question in TFPI.
There is no rule about how to format your answers, but I would appreciate it if you number your answers, minimize the line spacing between them, and emphasize the answers themselves if you feel you must paste in the questions.
Good luck!

While I certainly wanted to smack my forehead when I read her response to that question, she’ll get points for it if anyone else answers with those exact five authors (not necessarily in the same order or anything).

Are Hemingway and Faulkner in the public domain now?
I have no idea. But I misread the question, thinking we were supposed to name five authors, not one, and those were the five I came up with that haven’t written any new books lately, due to the fact they’re dead.
