Question of the day part 6

mare:
Here is Erika's question of the day!

I have another question. I think I'm better at coming up with questions than answering them anyway.

Out of all your stories which character is your ultimate favorite that you've written? What about your least favorite? Why?
When you think of stories you've read...what character do you think of first? Why?
Ok that's more than one question...lol

Purpura Lipstick:
My favorite character is Corin from Wulf's Bane.  He's the villian.  I love him because he is hell bent on gaining ultimate power. He has been the only character I've written that has been like that.  He was fun to write how he would handle situations versus how the good guys would be.   One of the scenes he kills someone in is my favorite death scene that I've written.  I didn't think of this in time for Rose's question about this.  But just the way he killed her and how little trouble he had killing this helpless woman who had given him the answers he wanted.    Eve, in that same story, is a really close second for favorite character.  She is a "bad guy" when she comes across Nick and his group but she isn't really all that bad.  She had more layers to her and I really enjoyed writing her reactions to things.

Least favorite .... I don't think I have a least favorite.  I have characters that need some work but I still like them and the part they play in the story they are in. 

characters that stand out in stories I've read.  Definitely Jack from Sinister Devotion.  I think because I have a difficult time portraying AJ and he seemed to be written with such ease in this story that he really stood out for me.   Max stands out in What Lurks Around the Corner because it was hard to tell what side he was really on.  You were cheering for him one minute and wishing him dead shortly after.   Valarie in FYO is another great one.  And one portrayal of Nick that I can't forget was in a story from, I think Chava?  I can't remember the title but he was just so mean and nasty and that was the first story I'd ever read like that. For some reason how he was portrayed in that story has just stood out to me all this time

Out of all your stories which character is your ultimate favorite that you've written? What about your least favorite? Why?

My most favorite? Probably AJ from Song For The Undead, for one. I love writing his perspective because it's twisted but unique and I feel like you can really see his growth throughout the story while keeping that dark outlook. My other favorite is Nick in 00Carter, he's such a ball to write and I love writing him. He's kind of the stereotype, goofy, fun, a little blonde, but lovable, which is just fun :).

Least favorite...

I think Brian, in Here We Stand. He's really hard for me to relate to in that story, so it makes him hard to write. Because he's hard to write, it kills my love for writing him in that story a little bit LOL.


When you think of stories you've read...what character do you think of first? Why?

Stories I've read...

There's a few. Like Claire, in Broken, comes to mind immediately. Or Jordan the bot fly man in Save a Prayer LMAO. Oh, and Chub Chub, the teddy bear that kills in The Thirteenth Step. (Okay the last one is a bear not a character but he stands out in my head okay?)

mare:
Hey! Chub Chub never killed anybody! He just stabs Nick in the chest by accident! LOL

And thanks, Lore! I'm glad you thought Max was complex. I really enjoyed him. I have no idea what my answer is going to be to this question yet. I'll have to come back after thinking about it.

My favorite character i've ever written would probably be my Nick from the Mel's stories. I loved how much his character had to grow because of all the tragedy in his life. When he started out, he was just a vulnerable kid and you just aren't sure if he's going to make it because of all the crap he goes through but by the time he graduates college you can see he's going to be just fine.

My least favorite character would be Kevin senior from the Protect and Serve series because he's such a douche and terrible father. I tried to make him not totally hateable but it was hard because I didn't think the guy deserved the chances his kids kept giving him after he abandoned his family.

Characters i've read that stuck with me I have a lot!

AJ in Leaving on a Jetplane. I know it seems like i'm showing Izzy a lot of love lately and maybe I am lol but she in my opinion has written the most realistic AJ I have ever read. He's so complex but yet sweet. When I picture fictional AJ in my head it's usually the AJ from this story.

Clare in Broken because she was the first female character I actually enjoyed reading. Not in the sense that I wanted to just know all about her lol but in the extent that I felt like she was able to hold her own with Nick in that story and never felt like she didn't belong there. Since you all know how I feel about female leads, that says a lot lol

Nick in Rewind because he was a complete mess but then was able to change his circumstances and we see this great change in him from being an uber jerk to this great guy!

Kevin in Yesterday's Blue Skies because he is so layered and so protective. Once again everything I think of when I think of Kevin but only in a sci fi setting and the fact that it IS a sci fi setting says a lot!

Carla in On the Rails - another example of a super strong female character. Probably my favorite one. I want to root for her and see her succeed and that's hard for me. Usually I want them to be run over or to just go away!

I'm sure there are a lot more but those are just a few that have stuck with me!
