Just in case, you
1. Haven't heard of this already on the NaNo forums,

here is a very special challenge for you:

I'm going to put Jon Lee Stiles in my book as the no-nonsense sheriff of La Fontaine and environs. Who will you cast him as?
And whether or not there's room for this fallen hero in your story, please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers right now.
