yes, and we've managed to keep this venue fresh and new for this long! Hmm... let's see... what haven't we dissected yet...
if my fellow creatures of the graveyard will pardon "Me and my Ego" for a bit (still coming down off the high induced by LMP's opinion of my little sample of story B) ) let me toss this one out for all who've written (or are writing) fanfic, it's definately Tolkein-related:
Which of his characters are easiest to "borrow", from an authorial perspective? As in, whose heads are easier to get into, whose eyes easiest to see through?
This is different than "who's easiest for the reader to empathize with", given the wide range of tastes evident in board postings (gotta expect some folks to root for the Orcs, Gollum, Sauron, the Witch-King etc.) Who's easiest to write new lines for?
(although i get to take a stab at several major and minor borrowed characters, i figure my vote for Easiest Head to Infiltrate" is fairly obvious!)
s.t.
