Introduction and Questions
Apr. 8th, 2009 08:46 amdiadactic.livejournal.comHi, all. I'm a pedantic diabetic, hence the username, and I've been a fan of the Attolia series for a number of years. I reread the series probably twice a year. I was wondering if there would be a fourth book, and if so, when, which is how I stumbled upon this group. I enjoyed reading the short story that was printed in the Disney magazine; I hadn't known it existed. I liked some of the questions, too. Here are some questions for you:
1. Has anybody made a map of Attolia, Sounis, Eddis, and their islands that I can see? Perhaps superimposed over a map of Greece?
2. I was looking at the pictures people drew and wondering, am I the only one who is picturing the characters as being brown skinned?
3. What did Eugenides say to Dite in the garden?
4. Why doesn't Eugenides feel that Attolia will need a large guard to fight the Mede? Is the guard different from the army? Or is the army at its largest still way too small?
5. Why is this group called Sounis?

favorite quote questionnaire
Apr. 8th, 2009 11:03 amjade-sabre-301.livejournal.comHello everybody!
A looooooooooooooooooong time ago (say, over a year), I posted the following questions as part of a "hey let's share our favorite lines and fangirl shamelessly" thing which I then completely failed to follow up on. Anyway, given how long it's been, and the fact that the questions are rather good (if I do say so myself), I thought I would repost it. With all the new kids (who really aren't that new anymore, and with all the REALLY new ones I don't know very well at all), I thought it would be fun to see how answers have changed, or maybe stayed the same.
So please! Comment away! Consider the question "and why" is attached to the end of all the questions! (It's just like high school English!)
1) What's your favorite line from the books?
(I know, I know, it's difficult. Think hard!)
2) Is/are there any particular line(s) you find yourself repeating to yourself, or that you automatically think of in certain situations?
3) Think of your favorite line by your least favorite character.
4) Is there a line that struck you differently on subsequent rereads than it did the first time you read it?
(That one's kind of hard, too. Did it change the way you viewed a character? Was it in a broader, more life-lesson-y-type sense? Did you breeze right by it the first time, and find it later and wonder how you could have possibly missed it 'cause it's the best line ever? Etc.)
5) If you could, for half a second, channel MWT's brilliance, which line would you have like to have written yourself?
Have fun! I can't wait to see what y'all come up with!
