Science-Fiction and Fantasy Quiz - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Lacedaemonian · 10th February 2005, 08:38 PM

"So you think you know your epic fantasy? You've read Tolkien and T.H. White and a whole bunch of other writers. You know the difference between Eddings (The Belgariad) and Eddison (The Worm Ouroboros). You know the name of Gandalf's horse, his traveling companions, and his arch enemy...but is it enough to call yourself "Grand Elf of Epic Fantasy?" Below you'll find twenty-- sometimes easy, but more often tough--questions designed to sort the elves from the hobbits. Print them out if you like, test yourself and your friends and partners. See how you do. Much luck, brave wayfarers. You'll find a link to the answers at the bottom of the page. And remember, no using your magic powers to cheat or confuse your opponents. (-:" - JV Jones

I got thirteen out of twenty. Quite a tough quiz.

Winters_Sorrow · 10th February 2005, 09:28 PM

off to a great start and hit a lousy middle!

twelve!

dwndrgn · 10th February 2005, 09:28 PM

I'm apparently a Journeyman-Apprentice, Orc Level (only got 9 correct). I haven't read half of the series' they speak of so I had to guess on most of them.

Fourteen

one more and i could have been at the balrog level. that's fine, i'd be a little scared if i got too many of them right!

Liar!!

You have read all of the books,

Teresa Edgerton · 11th February 2005, 02:31 AM

Not even close. But some of the questions I figured out by the process of elimination, and others because though I haven't read the books myself I do have friends who talk about them all the time (and I do mean ALL the time).

dragonqueen · 11th February 2005, 02:50 AM

hey, I made it to the Apprentice- Master Gandalf level, pretty good when I guessed half of them

Princess Ivy · 11th February 2005, 02:58 AM

with a lucky number 13 i am:
apprentice master - gandalf level

Leto · 11th February 2005, 09:01 AM

Apprentice-Master, Gandalf Level.

If it weren't for the very few sci-fi questions (Dune, Darkover, Star wars novelization) and the Amber one I would have failed misarabily.

PenDragon · 11th February 2005, 03:35 PM

15 I'm a Balrog level master of epic fantasy. Yay

I had to guess on the artist questions (wrong) the soup (wrong) Robin Hobb's other pen name (right) and all the sci-fi q's.

shaggydog · 11th February 2005, 09:13 PM

I made nine, and i must confess i got one by chance

orc level... wish i could have got one more... I don't like orcs, little nasty treacherous creatures...

red_temple · 11th February 2005, 09:53 PM

Lucky 13 for me as well. I knew 10 of them and 3 of my guesses paid off. Woo Hoo!
