    Wink A Literary Game to Know you

    Hello everybody ,

    How are doing today ? wish everything is OKAY with you. Games always add some fun . Am I right ?

    I have lots of sinces* here to describe the purpose of the game

    1-Since all of the members in this great website are interested in literature in all its genres(novel, drama ,or poetry)
    2- Since some members have not written anything in their personal profile
    3-since I, and other members, as I believe ,wish to know each other more
    4-since each one of us has many favorite (characters, and literary quotes)
    5-And since some prefer to keep themselves in mysterious atmosphere, and don't love to talk about themselves.
    I created this game.

    Rules of The Game:
    1- choose a literary character that you can say (this character is me).In case ,you believe that there is no one character can resemble you ,choose a number of characters that your personality might be composed of.
    2-choose a literary quote that can tell us about you or the best quote(s) that describe you to us .
    3- If you have any more suggestions,which can add more life or fun to this literary game , by all means you are the most welcome -


    Are you ready to play this game ?
    Let's get started
    By the way I'll send mine very soon I wish you liked it .

    Thanks !

    1. Well, I've always liked Rhett Butler as a sort of romanticized version of the kind of person I want to be. Charming, possessing a keen knowledge of human nature, and utterly blunt and unpretentious.

    2. Hmm...I'll have to get back to you on that one.

    Exclamation

    1.) Sherlock Holmes, but with a touch of Batman's slightly tormented sense of justice.

    2.) "I never guess, it's a shocking habit!"

    This is more of how I wish I was than how I am I fear...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    1) Hmm...I'd like to think that I'm a bit like the narrator from The Historian and Huck from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, although neither of them fit to a 'T'.

    Talking

    hi all,
    It is nice to hear from you Pendragon and Eva Marina,

    1- I am a combination of Daisy ,miss Julie ,Isabel Archer, Hedda Gabbler, Hilde , Jo, miss Marble and Hercule Poirot.

    3-The best quotation that can describe my thoughts is "you can fool all of the people some of the time;you can fool some of the people all of the time ;but you can't fool all of the people all of the time"
    Abraham Lincon


    Thanks !

    didn't see this for a really long while . . . but great game!

    1. i'm not going to give a character that best describes me, because it's the first day of summer vacation and i don't want to think; but i do have a story. The Mysterious Stranger, by Mark Twain.

    2. "I beleive i have mistaken you for a banana". -it isn't a quote, but beleive me, someday i'm going to write a story where it is.

    3. three should be any other thing you want to say about yourself, that doesn't necessarily have to pertain to literature.

    -Belgarth from the Eddings Series. I say him because I myself am quite a storyteller and all my friends consider me a history freak! Always get 95+ in those classes.

    -Nick Carraway The Great Gatsby I am a young socailist looking for a young strong woman. I am also a panzy that means I always witness and never participate.
    A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him.

    It is an interesting game ... but it is more difficult than writing about onself. by the way,

    1- the first character comes into my mind is Lily Briscoe in To the Lighthouse, (Albeit PERHAPS)

    2- "If gold will rust, what shall iron do?"
    -- Chaucer

    3- Those who cannot handle this game, it's better to go and complete their profile.

    ---------------------
    As everyday my mood and attitudes change, tomorrow these will not be the typical character and quotes for me!

    1) Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment (minus the axe murdering) and Basil from Dorian Gray (disgruntled artist)

    2) "For oft when on my couch I lie

    nice.
    "The time has come," the Walrus said,
    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    1) Laura Wingfield (but maybe a bit of Tom too, and more jolly )
    2) If you can't stand the thought of messing up your perfect soul, you'd better give up and become a saint, because you'll never make it as a human being.
