Funny. This spring when I was bored with waiting on queries, I did Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire for my MC.

Ever search your character's names on Facebook? That's a real kicker. None of my names are as original as I thought. :/

Stijn Hommes · Nov 6, 2009

Even though most of my characters are in the right age bracket to be on facebook, I simply can't imagine them doing it. They're too busy doing other things.

Lauretta · Nov 6, 2009

Oh noooo! My MCs names are on FB as well!!!
:'(

We should create a new FB page for our MCs and befriend all of them!

Samantha's_Song · Nov 6, 2009

I do declare that my character is nearly old enough to be everyone else's characters mother. I believe I'll have a niche market for beautiful middle-aged woman. :tongue

Lauretta · Nov 6, 2009

Mwhuahuahuahuhauhaha! I just looked for one of my MCs name and it is not there!!!!!!!
