haha basically I’m one giant cliche when it comes to paranormal romance 🙂 … however, I find it interesting that everyone so far has picked ‘Super Intense Magical Being of Undetermined Paranormal Powers’ as their ideal mate instead of the more classic ones!

I love it! When I use this poll for my future thingamajig, I REALLY hope Super Intense Magical Being of Undetermined Paranormal Powers remains the #1 choice. Gotta branch out from vampires, I suppose. 😉

If your villain isn’t a honey badger, I don’t think we can be friends anymore. 😉
Very interested to see what this is all about!

Hahaha, maybe I’ll have to tamper with the results then. 😉

Two words say it all – Honey Badger!

WOO! He’s gotta have mystical powers, don’t you think? Totally paranormal…

Well that was amusing.
My villain is the honey badger and I shot my BFF in the face. Not sure what that says about me.
Still, couldn’t stop laughing at some of these. “LOVE TRIANGLES AHOY!” Except love triangles make me back the hell away from books in most cases now. I’m so sick of them.
Susan

Ah the love triangle. They appear in almost every book these days–at least in YA. Don’t worry: there is no love triangle in SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY. You might think so at first, but no. None. 😀
And shooting your BFF in the face–don’t worry. I stole that bit from DIVERGENT, so it just means you belong in the faction Dauntless. 😉

Honey Badger ftw.
Sacrifice the world to Honey Badger – He deserves it.
Susan

HA! Yes. He doesn’t just deserve, he would TAKE IT. Because you know, he takes what he wants. 😉

These are so great! I hope that whatever you use them for leads to the creation of the next great YA genre: YA Involving Honey Badger.
Susan

Hahahahaha–new genre with HB–hahahahha. I LOVE THAT THE HONEY BADGER IS SO POPULAR!

I’m a paranormal with undetermined powers, who is the villain…and I destroy everything. The end.
This was fun. XD

Ha! Awesome. I am so glad I could make that happen. 😉

Oh, how fun! But I think the main thing the quiz showed me is that I am not cut out for the paranormal genre, haha. When I was looking at the first question, I kept thinking, “But why does there have to be a paranormal??” Oh, wait, this is a survey for a paranormal book. Duh. And I totally chose SIMBoUPP because it seemed the least paranormal, ironic as that may seem.
Can’t wait to see what you decide to do with the results!

Hahaha, well in THAT case Linda, I bet there are a ton of YA books you’re not into. 🙂 I hope that, despite the fact that there are zombies (and necromancers) in SOMETHING STRANGE AND DEADLY, you can still enjoy it. There’s not much romance, at least. (I believe in romance as subplots and resolutions only at the end of a series :))

Did you make that honey badger pic? And if not…where did you find it?

Ah…nevermind. I found it!

Cool! I actually *thought* I had linked to it, but in all the formatting for the post, I must not have (or accidentally deleted it). The link is now back! It’s a very COOL print by Jay Ryan.
