Okay, well, it doesn't seem like this lounge is very loungey lately, so, in keeping with the theme of it being a Writer's Lounge, I thought I'd start off some light conversation.
I have a basic question - who is your favourite character in a fic (or any published book, for that matter) that you have come across in your life? Or even not necessarily a favourite character, but just a character that really stood out as unique or funny or special or whatever?
For me, I'd say I have two clear favourites as far as fics go - namely, Sal from Mist/PancaKe's "Lapras Valley High" and Jessica from Oz Andrew's "Electric Buggy To Victory".
Sal because, well, she was just so different and such a tough person, despite all the reasons she had to basically fall apart. But she held it all together, and still managed to be a cool person and have a sense of humour.
And Jessica because she's just so ... unique. Her annoying teenybopperness somehow makes her more likeable - at least, in the fic. The funniest thing is that Oz actually based her on his sister. :D
Also, Lady Blastoise in LVH, because she was just so great at being evil in a torturous way. She was a character you really did love to hate. And Jackie, in LVH also ... she was cool.
As far as real books go, I have too many to choose from, honestly. I'll try again later when I've had some time to think.
In the meantime, what about everyone else??
