It seems we're all at a loss of how to stay an active Brotherhood, now that our event and untimely demise in the Gaian events has taken place.But I say (and Acula, Ciliegia, and Kiba) say no!! We are THE BROTHERHOOD!!! IN VITA MORS, MY BROTHERS and SISTERS!!!! We have stood by each other in our various time of need, in joy, rage, curioisity. We have never abandoned our brotherhood.
So we came up with the idea of strengthening our bond as a brotherhood, and digging down deep to really get to know each other. After all what better way to get some very close friends brotherhood family here online??
Each week there will be a new set of questions, you can answer all or none or one or two (preferably all), then we'll all have time to discuss it with each other, move more discussions to PM or other threads depending.
Let's start with something easy.
Question Set #1 Favorite Author? Favorite Book? Favorite Series? Favorite Manga? Favorite Comic Book? Absolute Favorite Literary Character And Why?:

Beren and Luthein from The Simarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien; their story is the ultimate store of sacrifice, love, and loss. A story of true love and ropamnce unable to be surpassed by anything else.

Excellent Introduction Hikari.
Favorite Author? L. Frank Baum
You have no idea how long it took me to just pick one.
Favorite Book? Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
Favorite Series? The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis
Favorite Manga? Sailor Moon by Naoko Takeuchi
Favorite Comic Book? Spiderman by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko
Absolute Favorite Literary Character And Why?: Peter Pan. Ever since I was young, I always wanted to be like him. Flying away, fighting pirates, meeting mermaids and generally having adventures. Only, I would be a girl instead. Funny thing is, even though I'm no longer a kid, I still wish that I could see Neverland.

That post is so filled with honour and pride, Hikari! =O
Favorite Author?
So hard... Um... There's so many good ones... But Tolkien was - is - indeed in a league of his own.
Favorite Book?
[See favourite series below]
Favorite Series?
I'd go for The Farseer Trilogy, by Robin Hobb (pseudonym for Margaret Ogden, I think), or Tales of the Otori, by Lian Hearn (Also a pseudonym for something).
Favorite Manga?
Currently, I'd say One Piece, by Eiichiro Oda.
Favorite Comic Book?
Dunno.
Absolute Favorite Literary Character And Why?:
The fool, from The Farseer Series (especially in the first two books). He's just awesome, popping up here and there being cryptic, and making a fool out of poor FitzChivalry. whee
This was fun. Now I look forward to more questions! xP

Favorite Author?
Well...on one hand there's Clive Barker. On the other, there's Clive Cussler.
...D:
If I must choose, Clive Cussler. <3
Favorite Book?
Ah, this is fairly simple. The Divine Comedy, by Dante.
Or Sahara, by Clive Cussler.
Either that or Mr. B. Gone, by Clive Barker.
...not as simple as I'd thought.
Favorite Series?
Dark Pitt's Adverntures...series...
Y'know.
That one. xD
Favorite Manga?
Eh. Honestly, I never read any manga. -cough-
Favorite Comic Book?
Never read comic books, neither. -coughcoughhack- I'm beginning to feel slightly ill.
Absolute Favorite Literary Character And Why?:
Aw, dang.
Golly, to be honest, I don't exactly have a favorite. But, perhaps if I had to choose, it'd be Mr. B. [rather, Jakabok Botch] Thinking about it a bit, he probably is my favorite, actually. Jakabok is a demon, burned and disfigured from an, erm, accident in his youth. The tone of the character is thick with menace and a powerulf, murderous accent. The inside cover of the book says he is seductive one moment, but I didn't really see that. Aw well.
Anywho, he is my favorite character probably because [Ooh, I make so much sense!] I seem to be the only person I know who actually has sympathy for the trapped demon. Then again, I'm strange like that.
-cough- I wrote a lot. Wow.
[-coughhack- I really like my own literary characters as well, but -coughhackspasm-]

Oh, god yes! I'd sooo tap that. XD I love The Outsiders. Although I think Darry was much hotter in the movie than Soda. Though I didn't like how they portrayed Dally. @Acula: I'm very surprised, you nevern struck me at a Peter Pan fan. I love Barrie's work. I love how they did the movie Finding Neverland about how he wrote Peter Pan.

Hikari Aijuntani @Acula: I'm very surprised, you nevern struck me at a Peter Pan fan. I love Barrie's work. I love how they did the movie Finding Neverland about how he wrote Peter Pan. Beautiful movie. Havnt seen it all the way through, mostly because I keep getting distracted when I watch it. or when I find it on tv, its right at the end. But yeah. I love Peter Pan. Didnt really like Peter Pan in Scarlet though. Really? What did I strike you as then? Though honestly, I never would have figured you a tolkien fan. Stephanie Meyer or Ann Rice maybe, but not Tolkien. Pleasant suprise though. I personally got lost the first time I read the fellowship of the ring, but loved the Hobbit. The rest of his books, never really got into.

Stephanie Meyer or Ann Rice maybe, but not Tolkien. Pleasant suprise though. I personally got lost the first time I read the fellowship of the ring, but loved the Hobbit. The rest of his books, never really got into. Hmmm, I guess if I had to nail down what you struck me as....I guess I'd say Chaucer or Shakespeare. You have this petic elegance that just strikes me that way. ^_^ Don't feel bad, I got lost when I first started reading Fellowship; once you stick it out through the first 2 chapters though it gets easier. I myself was very annoyed that the first couple of chapters were devoted to a spoon collection, inheiritances, etc. But I think The Hobbit and The Simarillion are still my favorites. My favorite part of the Hobbit is "riddles in the dark"; where Bilbo is having a duel of wits with Gollum. Stephanie Meyer is actually a recent addition to my library. I foudn her on accident and ended up liking her books. I hate Anne Rice's books....I have yet to find one I enjoy.
