The Terrible Twos: It’s Almost Time For Our Annual Ask Us Anything!

Hey, readers! Have you ever asked yourself, “Wow, how long have I been reading Bad Books, Good Times for?” Because as of the 20th, the highest answer you have for that will be two years. This means that 1) you know who’s lying when they say how long they’ve been reading for, and 2) it is time for our annual ASK US ANYTHING celebration we just decided was an annual thing!

Much like last year, the rules are very simple: ask us a question, and we will answer it. To ask a question, you have all these great, convenient options!

  1. Leave a question as a comment on this post! You’re already here! How easy is that?
  2. Ask us on our Facebook! That’s what the kids are doing these days!
  3. If you’re very concise, you can tweet it at us!
  4. Ask us on our group on GoodReads! I set up a discussion just for the occasion!
  5. Don’t leave a comment on our YouTube channel. I will literally never see it.

What should you ask? Anything. Ask us anything silly or serious about the blog or about us! You could ask us questions like:

  1. Who is our most hated character in one of the books we’ve read?
  2. Do our significant others’ parents know we run a blog reading erotic fiction? How do they feel about that?
  3. Why didn’t any of Mitt Romney’s SuperPACs run ads during the summer months when the Romney campaign had run out of eligible funding to spend before the official nomination to respond to the attack ads the Obama campaign used to dominate the summer months?
  4. What are the answers to your math homework? We got your back, readers!
  5. What book are you reading next? No, come on, guys. Be creative.

But why are we doing this? Because we have the best readers ever, and we only hope our posts entertain all of you the way your comments entertain us! So we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than to cut out the middleman and just all write some jokes together! Or answer some genuine questions you might have about the blog, how we run it, and how we sleep at night mocking the people simply trying to share their stories with the world (answer: because their stories suck).

Ask us anything!

    1.) I’m graduating from high school next month. Any college advice for me?

    2.) How did you two meet? (I apologize if you guys have all ready answered this before)

    3.) Who is the better BFF: Cary, or America?

    4.) Is there a book all of your friends like that you just can’t stand?

    5.) Matt, I read that you grew up with a sheltie. I too have a sheltie, but what are your thoughts on CORGIS?

    6.) What book/series have you enjoyed blogging about the most so far?

    Oops, I accidentally a list.

    What do you think best makes a work of art (including literary, film, or musical works) a “classic”?
    How do you personally define whether something is a “classic”?
    Conversely, what are your personal criteria for bad literature?
    Have you seen the live-action (My) Immortal Series? What are your thoughts on it, if you’ve watched it?
    How do you feel about adapting literature (fanfiction or otherwise) into other formats, such as live adaptations, musicals, and fan comics?
    What do you think are the benefits and flaws of dramatic readings, especially for bad literature like Master of the Universe or The Eye of Argon?
    Also, do you like to listen to dramatic readings?

    I’d love to see what both of you have to say!

    1) How do you pick the next BBGT book out of what I’m sure is a list of bad books rivaling the size of Santa’s naughty list?
    2) Has a book ever gotten so bad that you seriously questioned humanity for writing/publishing/loving it?
    3) What would you say if the author of one of these books admitted to reading this blog?
    3a) What advice would you give them?
    4) Do you find it harder to write this blog together now that you’re not in the same geographical location?
    5) Between life, reading bad books, and the actual blogging, do you find the time to read *good* books?
    6) If you were a vampyre and had an affinity for something (the elements, cats, etc.), what would you want it to be?
    7) If you found a magic tree house that took you to any time and place, where would you most like to go?
    8) Do you think you could take Travis in a fight? (That is, of course, if he leaves the double glock wielding at home)

    I could probably think up a few more, but I’ll save them for next year.

    In what cities do you guys live? What do you do as a real job? How do you find time to put together the blog?

    Pepsi or coke? Because honestly I don’t taste a difference.

    1. Not including the Goosebumps or Magic Treehouse books, if you had to pick the “best” book out of what you’ve read so far, what would it be? (if “best” is too much of a stress, than the “one that would give me the least amount of pain if I had to re-read it”)
    2. You read a lot of YA and erotica on this blog. Are there any novels in those genres that you really like?
    3. If all the heroines from the books you’ve read had to fight to the death with only one left standing, who would be victorious?
    4. Honestly, what is the worst scene in any of the books you’ve read? (“worst” relative to your reaction to it, not necessarily if it was the worst-written scene or whatever)
    5. Best scene?
    6. Which of the books would make the “best” film adaptation? The worst?
    7. What novel would you most like to see told from the POV of a minor character (e.g., Beautiful Disaster from Kara’s POV, The Host from the cave’s POV, etc.)?
    8. What are some YA/erotica/romance tropes/cliches that you personally detest? Any that you have a soft spot for?
    9. What is the most annoying “big misunderstanding” in any of the books you’ve read?
    10. Pick the sexiest scene from one of the non-“romance” books you’ve read (so…Goosebumps or Magic Treehouse)
