  It's back! It's pretty! It's shiny! It has BUTTONS... well no, not really. Couldn't get the buttons to quite work. Other than that this is THE BEST RESPONSE YET! 16 people threw their lines into the ring, so it's going to be oh so much more fun! With an extra special twist to be revealed later on in the post...
  
  but first
  
  THE LINES
  
  1. I knew him as the cute caffe guy. He knew me as Ellen, cappuchino, one sugar. Somehow I dont think fate had plans for us.
  
  2. Images of power and pain washed across Jonathan as he laid his eyes on the enormous golden dragon that he had been searching for all his life.
  
  3. Evan would have donated half his organs to cover that story.
  
  4. That was her life and she was unaware at first that it was not the life most of her age mates were living; but time has a way of showing things as they are and how they should be.
  
  5. “I don’t see what’s so funny. We’re stuck on this world now,” Irvine growled. “And we had to run into you guys,” he muttered.
  
  6. You’ll wake up and you’ll breathe in and you’ll... just... die.
  
  7. The darkness exudes the warmth I long for; covering me like a blanket. Overwhelming
  
  8. “Oh stop looking so all-knowing,” Antonia grumbled at Terance as we reached the campsite. “I know you’re not, you know you’re not, and it’s really frustrating.”
  
  9. It was cold, so cold. Too cold for a dream. Karina tried to blink, but the wetness in her dark blue eyes seemed to have frozen.
  
  
  11. "______ found a pair of rolled up stockings in with the petticoats, which she regarded with interest, because she said, sometimes she put her things in the wrong drawers too."
  
  12. Naturally, he had thought that the long campaign and the strain of the election had caused him to go mad.
  
  13. Rain on fallen leaves
  Gathers likeminded foliage
  Racing through gutters
  
  14. A seemingly unending mass of people, dirty and afraid, throwing themselves fruitlessly at the wire, pleading with us to save them from the oncoming hell. Mother’s held up children, waving their infants as a kind of talisman for rescue. Others were certainly being trampled in that mass, or pushed against the electrified fence and screaming as they were horrifically burnt.
  
  15. “Hot in summer, cold in winter, always getting tangled and ripped and soaked, clumsy, heavy—”
  
  16. ‘Oh hi honey it’s me,’ he mimicked being on his mobile phone, ‘yeah, yeah just on my way home and I stopped by the local Evil Overlord’s. What’s that? We need milk? Sure, Hilo or Full-Cream?’
  
  17. But then you came back. You haunt me. I have dreams of you lying there on the ground. Some days all I can see is your face. And when I can't, you are still there. Talking, laughing, poking, you don't belong.
  
  18. Beneath the stars I shall wiat
  'till peace and war is one and all.
  My flesh shall devour me,
  My soul shall forget me,
  Though I shall remember
  My shear mortality.
  
  19. As you from crimes would pardoned be,
  Let your indulgence set me free.
  
  20. A true leader was one who listened to the words of others and was willing to accept the truths therein; wariness and arrogance were too often mistaken for one other.

  If I can only guess about half of these, do I just send in the ones I know and leave question marks next to the rest?

  well, u could do it that way...but u can just guess and then u may be able to gain more poins for your guild...well, thats what i have done in the past...usually i dont know any except my own, and then proceed to narrow down some of them...which ultimately leads to guessing

  Thanks, if question marks take away from guild points I'll just do what you suggested, and guess. Random choices were inevitable, I suppose. :P

  Guys, can i remind you all to send all your answers in the one PM. Things get kind of complicated when I get the people who feel the urge to send a PM for every answer. Usually i end up running about like a loon and groaning with disgust at the size of my PM inbox.
  
  Also remember, for bonus points try to tell me which book (or in some cases play) the Guest Author lines come from. You get one extra point for each correctly guessed book.
  
  And if you don't know, guess. Guessing might be the only way to get any of the lines. You never know, you might be in luck and one of your random guesses could score you that extra point that might put you in the lead. I can tell you right now, it's anyone's game :D ...except when Kayt put in her line and somehow manages to win again.... :P

  My conclusion is that Flit didn't count herself in the 16, yet she submitted a line of her own, thus making 20

  Oh, that confused me too until I looked at the numbers and realised there's no 10. It must have been accidentally left out, which put the rest out of sync by one.

  Sorry guys, I should have explained it. Someone sent in a line that turned out in the couple of hours after the posting of the comp to be a plagiarised line. I couldn't, in good judgement, allow this to remain, but the game had already started and I didn't want to confuse some people who had already copied the lines/entered in. So I decided it would be easier to just remove the line. It hasn't seemed to cause much confusion at all. I've only had one entry that has been out of sync, and I'm sure the person will fix it up when they come back online.
  
  I didn't explain before because I didn't wish to embarrass the person. So just leave 10 out when you send in your entries, which everyone has managed to do thus far, so it really is nothing to stress about.

  It has taken me till now to realise that number 10 is missing. Maybe I should have checked the thread earlier. :P I have no idea who wrote any of these, except mine, but I am sending in my guesses.
