I have somehow managed to pry myself away from the x-box for a matter of minutes... ;)
You can't go around expecting everyone you meet to be a bosom friend, but that person is probably someone else's bosom friend;
I really like what akemi_rei said: "I think if you have characters that you yourself have a range of feelings about, then you have characters that your readers will have a range of feelings about."
I dunno about you, but that seems almost like wisdom to me! Here I am freaking out that I don't adore each character, and she's all, "Pshha. Chill out, gurl!" lol
I pulled it off Authonomy because I decided the site was kind of worthless
...Am I the only person who hates the name? Authonomy. Do I pronounce the 'th' or just ignore it? I'm pretty sure they intended the latter, but then you wonder, "WHY the TH?!" It's not cute; it's irritating! Aren't the people who use that site avid writers and readers who probably have penchants for proper spelling and grammar? I'm just saying!
It did seem more like a popularity contest, though. It's a good idea, but ultimately, people will be people who will network and connect for favors.
I'll think about sharing the rest of it on LJ...
Count me among the party of people begging for you to do so. ;D I wanna know what happens!!
