Hi.
Yoinked from frickin' everybody.
Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you ( Read more... )

a) You can actually see it happen in real time here.
b) His best trait is his conviction. His next best trait is his facial hair.
c) His worst trait -- where to begin? He's arrogant, selectively ruthless, and there are times when he thinks he has a monopoly on personal suffering. And he always has to be right.
d) Prometheus is scaryeasy to write. Sometimes I worry about this. I know we talk about headvoices, but his comes to me like my own thoughts do -- just, in Jon Spencer's voice. Stage voice, rather -- the real life Jon Spencer doesn't sound very much like the stuff on his records, in truth.
e) Oh jebus. I literally could not choose. I mean, I've got a weird concept of canon in that he's practically in OC -- between Aeschylus and Heavy Trash and Hesiod and the Blues Explosion, it just has to feel right in the moment. A lot of my favorite moments are hairpin turns: I've been noticing more and more that he can go from levity to intense with very little provocation.
The flipside of this is that I had a moment of jaw-on-the-floor shock when I found a clip of Jon Spencer utterly inhabiting Prometheus. As far as I know, I can't find it online, but I will do my best to burn the DVD when my disc drive is working again, because when you guys see it, it'll be just astounding. I had no idea the choice of PB was so apt when I picked him.
f) Aheeheehee, I have so many plans for him. That's... all I want to say publicly, but I'll throw in that I'm terribly glad he's a character in the public domain: I would love for my meritinabox project to turn into something more down the road.
