I was telling Emily in response to her review, that I think Nick in Protect and Serve is the most out of character because I had to make him so young and innocent, I don't really feel like there were a lot of classic Nick characteristic s in him.
Carter-Orange:
Maybe not, but who knows what 8 year old Nick was like! He may well have been like that.

That's true lol

I guess the obvious answer for me is Howie as the stereotypical supervillain obsessed with world domination in 00Carter. As we've said, Howie is so nice in real life that you can't really picture him doing anything bad, but he does make a great villain. Even though he's evil and over the top, we tried to give him motives for his mayhem that made sense with his real life persona. He's got a major Napoleon complex because he's short, and he craves power and notoriety because he's been rejected and overshadowed so many times. Since the whole story is kind of an over the top spoof, the characterizati on works.
Otherwise, I usually try to keep the guys as in character as I can, although they often change as a result of what happens to them over the course of the story.

Some more questions for us!
How much thought do you put into your summaries before you actually post them and how much does a summary play into whether or not you will click on it?
What is your editing process like before you actually post your chapters? Do you have someone else read it before you post or do you self edit?
How much research do you tend to do before posting a story?
