So, I tried this, and wrote to the first suggestion I got!

Funny, because I think a lot of your readers focused heavily on the administration, and it never quite worked.

In a certain way, making weighty immortal/old characters is harder than weighty young characters, because there's a lot of detail to plot and it's tempting to make them basically the same person at 20 that they are at 200, even though people change more than that, really.

Yeah, people change from 20 to 30 to 40 O-o. Much less to 200.

I think to really do them properly, I'd have to draw an arc of words, showing them progressing through life.

*nod* When I'm really doing immortal characters properly, I do a timeline with five year spacing. So, 55-60, first grandchild, personality changes, major events. 60-65, first grandchild died, personality changes, major events.

I could do that for all of them! It might be fun. I mean, Mike & Luke & 'Gene's first kids really colored all of them, of course.

...Im sure it says something silly about my head that my first thought was, well, then sleep with her; problem solved [but i suspect it would be out of character for Regine]

[aldersprig]

I am not sure sleeping with her would solve any of the problems at all?

[kiarrith]

i was joking, but what the unidentified woman said was she would never agree to these terms with someone she was not sleeping with.. :)

[aldersprig]

Ooof. I love it, and it fits. Ooof.

I honestly don't know what that halfbreed fae lady decides! She didn't tell me much about herself.

[aldersprig]

She doesn't fit Ginger or Valerian or Pelletier, but she could be Kairos. I don't know much about Kairos.
