I'm just a meme machine... :p

Gakked from chlorrel:

Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you:

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

And for Mr Jack Harkness... Ryan is currently in the other room muttering "My kingdom for a sonic screwdriver!" as he tries to assemble something or other. Our furniture got here today, such as it is. STill waiting on the bed on Wednesday. I bought a dresser though. That was an adventure getting in the apartment. And into the car in the first place. :p But now I can unpack my clothes!

We also wound up in a geek store while shopping for furniture. It's full of wonderful temptations... and fortunately only takes cash. :p

*Am randomly picking a FF character....*

How about - Mal!

[yubsie]

Hmm, I haven't actually written much Mal. Wait, he was there in a supporting role a bit in "The First Supper"...

a. Well, loving Firefly inevitably leads to writing Mal. I fell in love with just about the entire cast pretty quick.

b. His incredible devotion to the people he has taken on as family whether he knows it or not.

c. My lord, he can be stubborn about doing the right thing even when he's figured it out.

d. He's pretty easy to write. Lots of practice with Han Solo. :p

e. There's a conversation in the post-BDM babyfic that Tessie and I are working on where he has a totally crossed wires conversation with Zoe about things sometime happening that they weren't planning on.

f. He has a fairly substantial role in said fic. Does he WANT to be in this situation? Not particularly. :p

[helplessdancer.livejournal.com]

Hmm... let's see here... to be extremely predictable or not?

Neville Longbottom. :P

[yubsie]

a. He was just this poor sweet boy that I wanted to give a big old hug. :p

b. He's such a sweet boy and has the courage of being scared and doing it anyway.

c. Probably that whole lack of confidence thing.

d. He's really super easy to write. He's one of those characters where I can tell what's going on.

e. At some point I'll answer this question with something I've actually posted, I swear. :p There's a scene in my incomplete Neville/Luna fic where he sits down with her at breakfast and actually listens to what she's saying, and then gets all flustered when she says "I like talking to you, it's almost like you're really listening." :p

f. Dammit, now that I've mentioned it, FINISH THAT FIC MENTIONED ABOVE. :p

Sandman Death

[yubsie]

a. OH, about when she quoted Mary Poppins. :p

b. Being so loving and supportive.

c. Hmm... a tendency to get overinvolved I guess.

d. To use the inevitable pun, Death is dead easy to write. :p

e. Oddly enough, despite being utter crackfic, "She Likes Umbrellas". :p

f. Well, the big plan right now is to actually type up the fic with her and Destiny I finished the other day.

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

Have I read She Likes Umbrellas?

Also need a new Sandman icon!

[yubsie]

I'm not sure. It's the Death/Death fic. :p

[i-paint-the-sky.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I did read that. I just didn't remember the title =P

[yubsie]

It wasn't a title that came easily. Tess suggested it because that was her favourite line. :p

[chibifrieza.livejournal.com]

So, I don't really know what all you write because I'm lame and haven't read any of it; point me the way!, but let's take a wild guess and say Duo Maxwell. Lemme know if you've never written him and I'll pick another. :P

[yubsie]

Actually, I've never written Duo outside of a brief mention in a House Cup fic. :p I've written fic for Star Wars, Sandman, Pretear, Firefly, Discworld (only Death and Susan though) and Harry Potter. :p

[chibifrieza.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose you've ever written Thrawn? I don't think I'd have the temerity, myself. :P Ummmm... fine. Luke Skywalker. You have to have written Luke.

[yubsie]

I've written Luke. And not just for an essay for Hero's Quest! :P

a. I suppose I wound up writing about him by pure necessity. I mean I love Star Wars and he's kinda part of the deal. :p

b. Luke really does want to make the galaxy better.

c. He's MOPEY!

d. I actually find Luke kinda tricky to write. Well, once he's Mister Jedi Master, that is. He gets harder to get into.

e. My Luke voice has always been pretty shakey, so I can't name something offhand.

f. Probably not, he's not a strong voice in my head. :p

[carrole.livejournal.com]

*grins* How about...Wes Janson?

[yubsie]

a. EWOKS. He did things with EWOKS, need I say more?

b. He has an absolutely terrific outlook on life.

c. Having two sentences of backstory? Actually, I can't imagine his flirtatious ways are much appreciated. :p

d. Wes Janson lives in my brain. End of story. :p

e. "Laughter and Tears" where he's musing about the spirit of Ewoks, and then adds that they drive Wedge crazy.

f. I'd like to go back and finish my childhood fic for him. And write some Wes/Shalla.

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

How about Kei?

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

Dammit, I should have used my Kei icon.

[yubsie]

That's still one of my favourite CAPAlert phrases :p

[yubsie]

a. It started with the manga where he actually had a personality instead of just being the exposition fairy. Or rather, it became obvious that expositing things angst leeches don't want exposited was a key part of his character. :p

b. He's very smart. :p

c. LACK OF HUMAN EMOTION! :p

d. HE IS EVIL HARD TO WRITE AND I WANT TO STRANGLE HIM. :p

e. Once I finally got him to COOPERATE in "Grow Up Safely" I felt like he was really being his awkward self.

f. Goodness, there's that here are the babies OMGWTF fic, the Kei/Yayoi fic and that Kei/Goh fic with dead!Shin aftermath. :p
