SyFy Q of the Day: Abduction Message

Before I even started this blog, I would occasionally pose a SyFy Question of the Day to my facebook friends. Sometimes, it was directly related to what I was writing, and I really did want some input to help me decide what direction to take with the story. Other times, it was purely fun. Here’s one of my favorites, from May 2011:

SyFy question of the day: If you knew for certain that you and hundreds of your friends were going to be abducted by aliens on Saturday, what kind of message would you leave behind for all the people who didn’t believe you?

Marc It would start like this dear Kirstie, don’t know when i b back but i have been chosen to save the human race and will be leaving on saturday at some point i love u with all my heart never stop believing that i will return cause they will or possably bring me back at some point when they have finished their research all my love ur beloved husband marc something along those lines

AB That’s funny… I thought Kirstie would be the first one to believe you’d be abducted? Heck, she might have been the one who arranged the whole thing lol!

Marc lol i like that possibly be true

Kirstie and id make sure he was anally probed more than once just for the heck of it lmao xxx

Al Dear Friends and Family, I’ve been abducted by aliens. They haven’t told me yet whether I’m breakfast, lunch, or dinner…

Nessie Hmmm… I think I’d leave the house a mess and say “I told you there was a reason I wasn’t doing any more housework!”

Gwendolyn Wait a minute, if all my friends were coming along too – who would I leave a message behind for?

Geri Be Right Back

Dan So long, and thanks for all the fish. (everyone who matters would understand)

Pony It’s a Cookbook!!!!!!!!

Nessie How to serve humans?

Pony ‎”To Serve Man”

Nessie That’s it!
