I have a couple of thinky things that I want to say about writing, but first something I've been wanting to do:
Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal canon.Fandoms that I can definitely do this in: Little Men, SGA, Friday Night Lights, Keen Eddie, Weiss Kreuz, Gundam Wing, NSync

I've wanted to write stories from Luna's perspective and always given up in frustration, so I'm skipping her. But:

Joey Fatone:

This is a fairly standard one (it's fanon). He genuinely likes and enjoys sex in a way that most people would call slutty. I see him not as a hedonist, but he enjoys having sex with new people, and sees it as a way of "meeting" them, finding out new things about them.

He is faithful to Kelly. (That one's counter to a lot of fanon.)

He is the man most suited to being a backup singer in a boyband ever born. He likes the money, enjoys having the opportunity to mug for millions instead of for a handful, but would absolutely hate to be the centerfold.

Reeeeeid:

His number one fear is memory loss. The only time he ever whited out with rage is when a cousin pushed him over the edge of a small hill and he hit his head.

He is still a serial killer. (In the way that an alcoholic is always in recovery, never sober.) He knows it, Gideon knows it, and they are both constantly managing his impulses. (I have a story started about this one, so it is fiercely held canon.)

He is not sure how he feels about Derek or Emily; it is a weird combination of lust, affection, and dislike. (Derek would have sex with him in just the right situation, something Derek has not thought about but knows; Emily has caught herself thinking hypothetically about what it would be like to date someone like Reid.)

He personally counts the first time he had sex as the first time he played a sex game, which was with a boy in elementary school. He doesn't particularly like sex, mostly because he feels like he hasn't quite gotten the point or the hang of it yet.

He has a genuinely obsessive personality, but is smart enough to fake it on the tests they give you to get into the FBI.

He puts a lot of effort into not sounding unnatural. Anyone whose mother read him Margery Kempe (for example) would have some queer turns of phrase, especially a super-smart kid who didn't have a lot of friends. I have a ton of these. Reid doesn't, and in my canon he is very purposeful about that.

However, he doesn't try to hide his ability to recite facts or come to conclusions; he flaunts it. This points to a whole lot of things, which deserves its own list.

For the record, I'm currently a touch fascinated with Joey, thanks to DwtS. I'm intrigued by the way Apolo and Julianne came across as a couple, while Joey and Kym came across as Joey and, ummm, some chick. He has charisma out the wazoo.

BUT, the real reason I'm writing this comment, even though it's Quite Clear that you're still up is to let you know we might want to change our lifting schedule on Friday. There's a kiddie tournament between two (three?) schools at FAP starting at 10. I do still need to be at Shipley at 2:30, so the options are pretty much to lift at 8, to lift at 5, to lift any time Saturday, or to lift during the kiddie meet, which doesn't exactly enthrall me. Let me know what works for you.

I should not be up, though - I am sleeeepy.

Errrrrrgnnghhg. Um. I doubt my ability to lift at 8am, unfortunately, which leaves either 5pm or Saturday. I'm helping a friend move on Saturday, so I'm guessing 5pm? If that's doable? Or we could just go get ice cream? Hm.

I'll be there at five. We'll figure out then if we're lifting weights or dairy products! ;D
