Do you love dystopian stories? The Band of Dystopian Authors and Fans is a Facebook group that brings together readers and writers of that genre. (My YA novel, Pandemic, isn't technically dystopian--it's more apocalyptic, but close enough.) Last weekend, the group celebrated having 3000 members and I was happy to serve as an author host during the Facebook party.
If you've never participated in a virtual Facebook party, the way that BOD runs the event is that different hosts take time slots. The hosts provide links to quizzes, play games like "caption this," and ask questions to promote discussion. Each host also sponsors a few giveaways, often related to their books.
I thought I'd share two quizzes here. Here's one I didn't get to include during the FB event. Since Pandemic centers around a fictionalized version of bird flu, how much do you know about contagious diseases? Take this quiz from WebMD to find out. (I was hoping to get 100% but scored 12 out of 15.)
From the BOD party: Which dystopian novel world do you belong in? (I got the Hunger Games.)
