a) Sad to say I can't actually remember what exactly prompted me to first write about Morgant. I know what it was I first wrote, though:
“Man You’d Least Trust With a Hatchet, ’74 and ’75,” Morgant said proudly, showing her his ribbons. “Would have had ’76, too, except they brought back that continental champion.”
“Tyrax the Ox-Biter,” Caius recalled with a shake of his head.I wrote those two scribbly lines on the jacket of one of my Latin textbooks back in first year. They're still in my all-purpose Acarthian text file, too (well, obviously, or I couldn't have posted them). Pretty clunky and obvious now, but I still wouldn't trust him with a hatchet
( ... )
Ohhh, Very Dead Esthain. I'm with you now. Odd choice. XD Hmm, he'll be short, I'm afraid - very minor character and all ...
a) Don't remember ;)
b) Um ... not sure if it counts as 'selflessness' if you've actually been obliged to swear a physically binding oath to help people.
c) Uhh ... not too clued up on breathing people?
d) He wasn't too hard at the time, I don't think. I quite enjoyed it. That short's probably the one I'm happiest with to date (as opposed to all the ones I seem to end up hating XD;).
e) Can't put it here as it's spoily ;) The bit just towards the end of the first paragraph of Part II on Elfy *takes breath*.
f) I was going to write something about his and Lhian's beginnings, and may still do so (albeit horrendously unlikely unless I meld the story with something else). But I've definitely, consciously killed the other novel I was going to write on purpose. Absolutely no time. XD
Oh, hell. I'm still getting the hang of these lj markups, and I'm still screwing up where the hyphens are and where they're not. And I see no way to edit a comment.
There is no way to edit comments, unfortunately. I think it's so angsty twits with short fuses can't flame on communities and then edit what they said when they're threatened with kick-age. But then I'm a cynical hag.
Ahh, he should be pretty easy since he's so new ;D
a) Actually I was given a request with Tintauri - he didn't grow 'organically', so to speak. XD Cecily mentioned a certain weak spot for albino characters (I'm rather fond of white and/or silver hair myself) and we'd had a discussion about his particular profession a bit before that, so I mixed the two together and ended up with him. I also tried to make him freaky and creepy just as a bit of a change from the norm. Well, I don't exactly know what the norm is, but it's not freaky and creepy.
b) Hmm. Early days yet, but I get the feeling he believes strongly in obligation and fulfilling your debts/duties, hence his reaction when Pallena saw her dead liegemen.
c) Death means nothing to him. People who die are like all the flies who've died before them.
d) Still difficult. I want to do 'insane but not raving', and 'callous-cold but not malevolent', neither of which I'm terribly good at. (I got one commenter saying he came across as camp XD;;)

Ah, the Sailley, so mired in the mists of time and giant octopi. I don't know if I can remember everything about her primordial soup beer now ( ... )

That doesn't answer the question, my sweet. Unless this is special code for future...
Or shall I pencil in a Midwinter Fae Cull?

(I want to finish) SOULFIRE SEEKING (as soon as all my lazy sons-of finally just get off their behinds and start it moving again) DAMMIT XD;;
Because it clearly has nothing to do with -me-.
Oh, and please don't fill certain heads with even eviller plans than usual.
