Did you write a short story about an obnoxious family that all get shot in the woods?

[coyotegestalt]

No, I'm afraid I didn't, and I awkwardly cannot think who did.

Ask a question?

[redhilltown]

OK, so you are not Flannery O'Connor (A Good Man is Hard to Find).

Are you a fictional character?

[coyotegestalt]

Yes, I am a fictional character.

(and I really should read that)

[kinetikatrue]

Have you shod both a unicorn and an ant?

[coyotegestalt]

No, I am not Jason Ogg.

Are you a British law enforcement official who appears in a series of novels by a female mystery author who sold her first short story at the age of eight?

[coyotegestalt]

No, and I can't remember who is.

Hmm...

Your question?

[identitee]

So you are not Stanislaus Oates from the Albert Campion books by Margery Allingham.

Do you appear in a work written after 1900?

[coyotegestalt]

No, not Oates.
But yes, I do appear in a work written after 1900.

Are you a reptilian deity?

[coyotegestalt]

No, I am not the great god Om.

[chickenfeet2003]

Actually I was thinking of Offler the Crocodile God

[coyotegestalt]

A freebie then- also a delightfully reptillian deity, but also not me ;}

Did you torture the protagonist of a famous dystopic novel?

[coyotegestalt]

No, I did not, but while I remember the incident, cannot remember the character's name. So, have you a question?

[identitee]

That would be O'Brien from Orwell's 1984.

Were you created by an American writer?

[coyotegestalt]

Yes, I was created by an American writer.

OK, NOW somebody go next ;}
