a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
The sweetness. Of all the men (and some of the women) that Sam has to deal with, Chris seems the most human. Sometimes more than Liz, even.
b. One of his/her best traits Willingness to learn.
c. One of his/her worst traits He's a bit of an idiot.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
It's somewhat hard to write a not very bright character's POV. I have that problem writing Bertie Wooster as well. I have to keep him in character for what he doesn't know.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
I think my Chris voice in Errand Boy was pretty good for a first try. I like the part where he's thinking that he wants Sam's respect...and a smile.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future (which may be more optimistic than realistic, but rousing old muses does sometimes gets work written).
I'd like to do a full-scale hurt/comfort Sam/Chris story, probably Sam POV, after I see the second series.
