It's been dead on here lately! I guess everyone is busy.
Fanfic alter egos... I put a little of myself in a lot of my characters, but the ones who are most similar to me are Gretchen in Undead and Becci in Secrets. My "glamorous" alter ego with the cool job is Red Jewel in 00Carter. And if you combined Claire's personality with Cary's 50s pinup look and musical talent, you would have my ideal - what I wish I was, not what I actually am.
And if I could hang out with any five characters, they would be...
1. Brian in "Between the Lines" because he is so nice and brightens everyone's whole world.
2. Nick in "Save a Prayer" because I like this new, mature Nick who manages to be heroic without trying too hard.
3. Kevin in "Casa de Backstreet Boys-ah" (from Mare's "Scattered Pictures") because his sense of humor shone through in that one, and I love to see Kevin's fun side.
4. AJ in "Come Together" because I prefer younger, pre-alcoholic, pre-nailpolish AJ.
5. Howie in "00Carter" because that would just entertain me LOL.
I knew I wanted to answer this question with the five Backstreet Boys because, c'mon, it's not like I would pick some random female or villain over one of them, but I actually found way more versions of them that I WOULDN'T want to hang out with because they were dying of a terminal illness or were sad because their friend/lover was dying/dead or were depressed or suicidal or addicted or losing their minds! And even now I just realized that one of my choices still has a brain tumor - damn it!! Questions like these would be easier to answer if I only read romantic comedies (or had EVER read ANY romantic comedy LOL).
