I have found you and I am here to tell you how your driving is. B|
In case you were wondering, you are basically The Stig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig) of rpers. You do an amazing amount of background work for everyone you write, fleshing them out with complex backstories and dressing them up in ornate motivations until each post and thread turn into revealing character studies that both convey who the character is immediately, reinforce the character's personality, and explore new things about him or her. IT IS BASICALLY AMAZING and I love being a part of it. And I do this completely stupid thing where I am like "idk how I am going to hook myself in with Dele's characters" and then you SWEEP IN ON A UNICORN and whisk me off to brainstormy delights. So really what I am saying is that you spoil me terribly and I adore you for it.
SPEAKING OF holy crap Petrana. Now, it is already well documented that you are a skilled pusher of Eddingsverse, and while I have only dabbled the slightest bit, you do a lovely job of nailing his phrasing and acknowledging the sorts of story arcs he subjects his characters to while translating all of it into things that other characters can interact with. I also like how she can be this tiny, powerful woman in a completely unique way, especially since, let's face it, you have a yen for tiny, powerful women. Initially I was just looking forward to Petrana for the Brucolac's sake, but now it is all about SNAPE. I should hang out in left field more often if this is the sort of thing that comes out of it! No matter where their interaction goes, I think it will be extremely interesting and delightful.
Tiny woman number two: Carmilla. Dear lord, dear lord, she is perfect. The source material doesn't give one too much to work with: it's closer to a morality story than to a modern novel with truly complex characters, but you do very well with your monster in a pretty dress. If she does come around, I think she and BB would drive each other crazy in great ways. They are both so proud and demanding, I think the CR between them would be amazing.
Ethan Rayne + Severus Snape + ??? = SWEET WEEPING NIOBE CAN WE PLEASE DO THIS?
WOMAN DON'T THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE ME BY HIDING OVER HERE
