 Name a character that you know I write or have written (or roleplay/ed), and I’ll tell you:

01. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her
02. One of his/her best traits
03. One of his/her worst traits
04. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
05. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
06. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

Pups

- Ray Vecchio (due South)
- Bob Fraser (due South)
- Maggie Fraser (due South)
- Harding Welsh (due South)
- Jack Huey (due South)
- Ray Kowalski (due South)

Fic characters I've written (not included in pup list)

- Tom Dewey (due South)

I would include people from my RPF fics I've written but I don't think anyone has read them XD Uh, did some Jcck Sparrow stuff too but the same applies. *looks at list* Wow, I really need a new fandom...

Also? I might not answer question number 5 (especially with RayV) because it would take me an age to find a single paragraph and I don't want to still be answering this in a year to come.

That is....if anyone requests anything...because you might not, so this is unnecessary...but if anyone does...then, yeah. I'm gonna go over here now...

Okay, I slept on it! Or rather, I slept on Bob! He's very comfy, you know. :P Anyway, Bob.

01. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her

I'm not gonna answer with "He's Bob," although that would probably more than suffice. He's just totally insane, in an utterly sane way. He's not out of his mind, or kooky crazy. He's just a dead guy who's used to doing things the "Mountie" way. He tells stories and anecdotes about him and Buck, his time in Canada, his marriage to Caroline no matter what situation Ben is in, because that's all he's known. Doesn't matter that they're in Chicago, and there aren't any caribou around, he's going to tell the story anyway because a) he likes talking about things he knows about- it makes him seem clever! And b) he thinks he's helping. Everything he does or say is with the aim of helping his son, even if that's not the end result! And most of the time, he doesn't realise that his advice is completely unnecessary. But that's him :D He's how I imagine Ben will be like when he's Bob's age. Totally. The parallels are there from the beginning! Bob/Buck, Fraser/Ray. Story telling. Mounties always getting their man! Can't fight it, Benton-buddy.

02. One of his/her best traits

His dress sense! XD Nah, the fact that all he really wants is the best for his son. And wants him to be happy with who he is. Happier than he was. And he doesn't want to watch Benton make the same mistakes as he did. He's there to watch over his son and he'll do the best damn job of it he can.

03. One of his/her worst traits

His dress sense! XD The fact that he has absolutely no shame? And doesn't know when to butt out. And even speaking directly to him and spelling things out to him, won't always get the message across.

04. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character

Very easy. He's the easiest muse I have. The only thing I sometimes, and only sometimes, mind you, have a problem with is trying to balance out "kooky!Bob" with "serious!Bob." Because as much as he's an insane little ghost in the show, he does have his moments when Ben actually listens to him. My Bob seems to think the internet isn't the place for D+M thinking though. So most of the time, you get the krayzee Mowntee!

05. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character

Uh... Find the Way!(c) Short but sweet! XD Either that, or BE THE MALE SEAHORSE! Since I haven't really written entries with him, I'd have to say some of his conversations with RayK about closets/seahorses/sturdy tables/wide hips were some of my favorites. And the "Fraser tells his dad he's gay and Bob thinks his son has erectile problems!" thing is just....love. So yes! Trule captured his character there, hahaha XD

Oh! And his behavior at the wedding. Top notch!

06. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

I have actually been thinking about writing something about his time in Rome too. Because of course Fraser and RayK wanted him to go along with them. It was so obvious, they didn't even need to ask!

And...he still wants grandchildren...s'all I'll say...

For the most part, I think Fraser understands that he's only trying to help, but that doesn't mean he wants to strangle him any less :D

YES. Those threads are my absolute favorite things to read. EVER. So very, very Bob. I'd feel bad for Kowalski, but it's just too funny XD

And that's what makes it so fun for me! :D :D

YAY! We're here for your personal entertainment! I feel sorry for anyone and anything that looks like either Fraser or RayK. I get the feeling Bob should have worn glasses when he was alive...
