I remember I once told my friend that I sort of believe in faeries and imps and unicorns, but not ghosts. Mainly because I like to think of happy mystical creatures and not angry or sad ones. However, with all the sightings out there and near death experience accounts, I am not ruling out the possibility of ghosts existing. I like to keep an open mind.
Bob in general, I have to confess, is not my favourite character from the show. I think Terrence Mann is wonderful and I enjoy Bob as Harry's strange sort of sidekick, but I've never had the urge to delve into his past or add on to what little we know about Winnifred or anything like that. I rarely write from his POV and I don't think I will ever be able to write a first person POV with him. I just don't want to get inside his head.
That being said, I think he's an excellent addition to the Dresden Files world. He brings a sense of family for Harry that is often missing from the books. Even as book!Harry's group of friends grows, he's still a sort of one man army and very lonely a lot of the time. I think tv!Bob brings a bit of warmth to the series and he's someone that will always care about what happens to Harry and who Harry can talk to about magic things, especially when he can't talk to anyone else about them.

Date: 2008-06-26 10:41 am (UTC)Fay is somebody who arrived in my head exactly as she is. When I decided to write 'Family Dynamics', Fay showed up, told me her name and proceeded to do things, so I wrote them down. When I first wrote about her, descriptions and dialogue between her and Harry often showed up on the screen and I sometimes didn't remember writing them.
Fay is me a little bit, only much more outgoing as a child than I was. She's imaginative and affectionate and precocious, which I was as well. I think she ended up being very much 'Harry's daughter', which was only somewhat intentional. I love tossing my favourite male characters in with children and seeing what they do and as much as Harry is all 'ack, girl!', I think he manages pretty well with her.
Mal
Mal is a character I would love to do more with. When he gets older, I'll be able to give him a bit more personality, but it's hard to center a story around a two-year old. Mal is much more myself than Fay is, for whatever reason. He's shy, a bit fearful of the world and very curious about things.
One thing that I have managed to get into a few fics is his love for music, which comes from Miranda. He's very much 'Miranda's son' and I picture him, as he gets older, being a bit of a 'rebel', not so much in actions or bad behaviour, but, since he isn't as strong in magic as Harry and Fay, distancing himself off from them. I think he'll end up being very close to Murphy, as well, since he is too young to remember Mira, so she'll be the mother figure for him even more so than she would be for Fay.

Date: 2008-06-26 03:42 pm (UTC)I think Dief is only partially deaf, personally. In the POVs we get from him sometimes, it sort of sounds like great blurbs of sound - like what music sounds like in another room if you're in the shower (to use a Marlee Matlin metaphor). I think he can hear, just not well enough to really discern most things and it's probably easier for him to lipread. But I also think that he probably ignores Fraser when it suits him though. My dogs do that all the time and they can hear fine. :-)

Date: 2008-06-26 03:47 pm (UTC)I actually knew about the TARDIS before I started watching Doctor Who. Two of my friends (who are a few years older than me) started writing a comic one day when they were bored in class, featuring themselves. Erica was Time Lordess and Amalie was Jedi Girl. Time Lordess has a TARDIS, which is how the team gets around on their adventures. Time Lordess also changes costumes every few pages, using the endless closet. They eventually wrote all of my group of friends into the comic, including me. I'm Mountie Girl.
Erica is a big oldschool Who fan, so when I saw 'The Christmas Invasion' listed on the preview channel at Christmas, I thought I should check it out and then I got really into it. The Christmas Invasion was the first Doctor Who episode I ever saw. So, technically speaking, Tennant is my first Doctor, but I prefer Eccleston.
As for the TARDIS itself, it's pretty damn awesome and I like the new design of it better than the older versions. It looks more like a living organic thing than the older one which looked very crafted and cold.

He's very much 'Miranda's son' and I picture him, as he gets older, being a bit of a 'rebel', not so much in actions or bad behaviour, but, since he isn't as strong in magic as Harry and Fay, distancing himself off from them.
Ooh, that'll be interesting to watch! It makes sense. Aw, and I love that you think he'll be really close to Murphy.

Date: 2008-06-26 07:40 pm (UTC)I hate book!Morgan. He's one of those people I want to reach through the pages and slap silly, just like Snape and Umbridge in the Harry Potter books. I know we do get a little glimpse of insight with him in Dead Beat (something to the tune of 'he's been hunting dark wizards for so long that he's exhausted and jaded and can't wrap his head around Harry being a good guy'), but I still think he's an idiot.
Tv!Morgan is quite a different situation. He's more intelligent, a bit kinder, and has a bit more of a sense of humour. I remember listening to the commentary for Things That Go Bump and the director saying that Harry and Morgan could have been friends, or at least associates, if Harry hadn't killed Justin. I think that's true. They both want the same things and are willing to fight for them. Harry just breaks the rules to do it.
