Meme Revival

[awanderingbard]

I was looking back through my journal and thought I'd give this meme a revival. Because memes are love.

1. Comment to this post with the name of a character that I have written in fic. Or geeked out about or talked about.
2. I will comment telling you the following:
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

a) I didn't really care about Bob much, even though Terrence Mann was the reason I noticed the show in the first place. I was too busy loving Harry. But _medley_ asked for a Bob-centric story in a request meme way way back and it forced me to take a good look at the character and he grew on me.

b) Bob's best trait is his intelligence. He's very useful to Harry in his work and he's smart enough to know when to try and stop him.

c) Bob's worst trait is his hubris. It drove him to do all sorts of things that he probably shouldn't have and believe he could conquer death, which is what gone him cursed in the first place.

d) I've never had particular difficultly with Bob that I can recall. I think I make him more cuddly than he is, especially in my mini!Dresden's verse, but overall his voice comes fairly easily. I would say he's the hardest of the main Dresden characters for me, though.

e) Oh, I don't like this question. Um...I'm fond of Something Indescribable in terms of my mini!Dresdens' Bob. Maybe Nightmare, for regular verse Bob.

f) I'm sad to say that my Dresden plot bunnies have mostly run away. It's always going to be a show that I love and will rewatch, but I don't know how much more I'll write unless I get really inspired. I am determined to finish my occhallenge table, so he'll probably show up in a couple of those.

Ah, very interesting answers! I like your presentation of Bob as a character when you write him. I kind of feel like he was mellowing towards the end of the series anyway, so having him a bit more cuddly in your writing is fitting. :)
