Literature theme packet

I wrote a 20-tossup packet called "Ways of Dying" where all the questions, predictably, are common link tossups on the various ways that literary characters have died. I'll be reading it at some point tonight or tomorrow night in the IRC, for those interested.

Here's the packet. Susan won this with 30 points, with a lot of players close behind at 20.

Agreed; some of these were given awfully short notice.

I wrote another one of these packets, with a mystery theme. I'll read it at 10:00 Eastern tonight, unless there are interested parties who object before then.

EDIT: It has come to my attention that this is when Auroni is reading his packet, so I'll read mine after Auroni's is done instead.

This happened, and Dan Passner emerged victorious.

After reading this packet just now, I'm a bit disappointed it failed to mention Colin McGinn's literary masterpiece, Bad Patches: http://40daysofbadpatches.wordpress.com/ [warning: NSFW content, awful writing]

And no meta! I would have negged alternating author questions with David Seal and Ray Luo.

I am disappointed by the lack of "It Tastes Like Chicken".
