Unnamed drabble and answers to Meme A)
To be honest, he didn't know why he had stayed. Sure, he had been drunk, and they had been friends for a very long time now. Walking in the woods, shopping, visiting the theatres and other entertainment areas; many things that could be interpreted as dates.
He just never thought he would wake up naked next to another man, and would want to stay there.
MEME A)
Molly Caffrey (Threshold)
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her: Anybody who is paranoid enough to create a strategy to deal with an alien invasion immediately gets my attention, especially if it's a GOOD plan.
b. One of his/her best traits: Her quick-thinking in high-pressure situations.
c. One of his/her worst traits: She sucks at relaxing.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character: From what I Have written, it's actually pretty easy to sink into her mindset, mostely because science has structured my logical processes along similar lines. That and I'm paranoid.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
Prepared
What you never thought
Would happen - did. But you have
A plan. Not helpless.
And The Last Time
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future: I've been meaning to write an post-series IMAN/Threshold crossover with Molly/Claire, featuring the aliens getting wind of Chrysalis and probably Arnaud showing up somewhere along the line.
Gregory House (House, MD)
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: The combo of intelligence, bluntness, and snark that was bundled together in such a way as to make House kind of charming.
b. One of his/her best traits: He is damn good at what he does.
c. One of his/her worst traits: His stubborn pride
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character: House isn't particularly easy to write, but he isn't hard either. The snark is fun even when the character is being a pain.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character:
“Didn’t I already tell you he’s going to die in an hour?” House asked in his ‘speaking with morons’ tone. “But no… you’re being all mushy because he’s just so little and his parents are bigwigs.”
“If you hadn’t punched the guy, they wouldn’t have requested security!”
“Maybe you should’ve just beat him into compliance with your chest then. This boy does not have to die.”
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future: Well, I do plan on writing up the rest of my table when inspiration strikes. But I haven't been bitten by any House plotbunnies recently.
He just never thought he would wake up naked next to another man, and would want to stay there.
