It is a great idea for a quiz. But can you please make the spelling easier? Even allowing just the surnames would make it easier. I kinda gave up. But am keen to come back and give it another go.

Thanks for the tips and the correction, I recently read one of the Goosebumps series and had both R.A. Salvatore and R.L. Stine in my head and must've got them confused. Any recommendations for revision or even adding more series and authors will be taken under consideration.

Agreed with the above commentors, really need to be consistent in accepting full names or surnames (or both.) The fun factor diminishes sharply when the correct answer isn't accepted.

I second this. Sometimes surnames, sometimes full names, sometimes middle name letters count, sometimes they don't. Poor form.

Level 34

Halfway through the quiz stopped accepting names. Even though I had put in Terry Brooks it wouldn't accept it.

Surname is preferable to full name. Good quiz though!
