Hey /lit/. I'm not a usual customer, but I'm not here for me. My good friend is a girl who very much loves reading. There's a contest going on where she can win a day with one of her favorite authors, Darren Shan, as well as a iPod (besides the point), but she's running low on points. She's 8th place, and top ten get the prize. Recently, the points have been skyrocketing, so I ask your help. Take 30 seconds of your day to complete this fun little questionnaire for her? Literally nothing spectacular, just 4 questions about what kind of vampire would she be. It would mean a lot to her to meet this author, so please, help out!

Pic related, some of his books.

the competition goes onto November the 5th, also all the top 10 win a meet and greet thing.

i have already met him on a train, he was coming to Manchester from Tottenham, just like me. i was reading one of the Darren Shan books and he asked me about if i liked them and we talked for the entire journey. it was cash.

that actually looks pretty good, i'm scared of them kinda ruining the character though, if he creates some random detail which you'll never be able to forget, like he was raped as a 20 year old in prison or some shit.

did you read the demonata series?
what did you think of the ending?

Could anyone post the /lit/ tier list?

It's pretty accurate

I read and own all of his books.
As for the Demonata series I did particularly enjoy it. I love the way he writes his plot twists with the intent to mess up everything you know about reality.

i rather liked it too, i thought the first 4 books were his strongest too. the whole becoming Gods and re-writing time thing kinda came outta the blue, but i thought it was a great twist to find out that Lord Loss isn't even powerful

preferred the saga of darren shan though

I think I was around 12 when I discovered the series. There were only 6 books published in Brazilian Portuguese, and my English wasn't nearly good enough to read in the original.

In no longer than a year, I learned English all by myself for the sole purpose of reading the rest of the books. I shit you not. Good fucking times.
