Pop quiz! Win an ARC!
I have had a battered and beaten ARC returned to me by my housemate (he read it, he enjoyed it, but these poor babies aren't meant to last forever). Since I can't exactly send it out to a review site, I've decided that it's POP QUIZ TIME! The first person to answer all twenty questions correctly will win the ARC. (If you already have one, you can still win, and tell me where it should be sent.) If no one has answered all twenty questions correctly by tonight, I will pick the person with the highest number of right answers. In case of a tie, it still goes to first.
People who have known me for more than ten years are respectfully asked not to play, as that just wouldn't be fair to the rest of the planet.
Game on!

I probably won’t be the first, since I had to google most of the answers. But here goes:
According to Night of the Comet, “Daddy would’ve gotten us Uzis.”
When Kylie tells Bill, “You need both of them things in you to get all ‘wormy,’” he responds, “Oh, that’s awesome!” Slither was directed by James Gunn. James Gunn needs to call you.
Rosemary and Rue was orginally the name of a book by Martha Everts Holden.
Seanan’s cats are named Lillian Kane Moskowitz Munster Cavanaugh-Sawyer McGuire and Alice Price-Healy Little Liddel Abernathy McGuire.
Seanan claims that she edits her books with a machete.
The phrase “The turtle couldn’t help us” comes from It, by Stephen King.
Michelle Dockrey, Tony Fabris, Paul Kwinn, and Amy McNally appear on all three of Seanan’s albums.
The albums are Pretty Little Dead Girl, Stars Fall Home, and Red Roses and Dead Things.
Seanan has a tendency to listen to “Rain King” over and over. It was originally recorded by Counting Crows and appeared on the album August and Everything After.
It’s not Johnny.
The lineup of The Junior Super Patriots, West Coast Division, during Velveteen’s time on the team, was: Handheld, Swallowtail, The Bedbug, Super-Cool, The Nanny, Apex, and The Candy Sisters. IIRC, Velveteen herself was the first to leave the team.
Ravens in the Library was the first anthology to publish Seanan’s work.
Kate says Seanan is not allowed to have a lawn.
When Seanan says she’s putting on her princess pants, she’s going to be a Disney Halloweentown princess.
Seanan has a Diet Doctor Pepper.
Rosemary and Rue will be released on September 1, 2009. It is published by DAW.
Three of Seanan’s protagonists are October Daye, Clady Porter, and Verity Price.
That midnight train is going anywhere.
The first three Toby books are Rosemary and Rue, A Local Habitation, and An Artificial Night. The second three Toby books are Late Eclipses, The Brightest Fell, and Ashes of Honor.
Only if you have a very safe place from which to watch the ensuing “dinosaurs eat people” pandemonium.
Can I change my answer for number three?

well, that’s embarrassing
