Reply to this post with anything you'd like and I'll tell you why I friended you and two things I love about how you play your muse. The only catch? You have to repost this as well.
How do I love Francis Longbottom? Let me count the ways...
1. I love the fact that your Frank is exactly the man I imagine he'd have been if he'd recovered in the books. You write him as a quiet, gentle hero and that's how I think of him.
2. Frank's relationships across the board just make me smile. I can't help it. Frank/Alice, Frank/Minerva, Frank/Lucius best of all Frank/Andi cause FraNdi=LOVE...they're complex and DEEP. Frank is proof that being the GOOD guy doesn't mean he's boring or lifeless.
I friended you cause of the trail of candy you left. :-D
1. How can I not love Luna? She's one of the quirkiest most unusual characters in the book. As far as writing goes Good Luna is hard to find and spectactular Luna is even more rare. You've captured the things that make Luna stand out so strongly for someone we don't even meet until the fifth book. She's funny, she's bright, she's compassionate and whimsical...but more than just that you bring a realistic depth to her now that she's lived through the war. She's a bit sharper around the edges but still Luna.
2. Fun. I love how Luna is fun. Not silly or clownish but original and not at all bound by convention. She just IS. She loves who and what she loves and does her own things and the world either falls in line or doesn't but it doesn't slow her down. There's a great exuberance in the way you write her: flighty yet grounded, wise but quirky, open and at the same time with a bit of wariness.
Yup. Luna's the love of Nev's life. One of mine too!
I'm you're monkey slave. Yep. That's why I friended you. Why yes, I would tap that.
1. I love Sev (and Luci and Gellert and Furry and Cara and Judas and Ellis) because they are like great big PINATAS...you don't know what's inside them until you crack 'em open. Depending on the stick something new falls out every time. There's always a mannerism, or a phrase, or a nuance that is so unique to that character--that speaks to that character in a way that's profound: Luci rubbing his hand over his chest, Sev's always studying his hands, how kinetic Fenrir was and is. They may be a Bastard Troupe but they are as different from one another as they are the general population.
2. No matter how much pain you bring the boys it never descends into angst for the sake of angst. It's never that simple. As much as I read Sev it's never boring or easy. I feel for him whether it's his shame, or anger, disgust, even those stray wisps of happiness.
