1. Comment on this post.
2. I will give you a letter.
3. Think of 5 fictional characters whose name starts with that letter and post their names and your comments on these characters in your LJ.
1. CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow - why? Because he's Captain Jack Sparrow, mate. I don't think I really need to give this crowd the background on the good captain, savvy? Johnny Depp created not just a great character but a cultural icon. I love to watch Captain Jack in all his rum-soaked, piratey goodness, and I have had enormous fun writing about him for the past five years. I kind of don't have much to say about him that I haven't already said in god knows how many thousands of words. He's...Captain Jack Sparrow.
2. Claire Randall Fraser - Claire is the protagonist of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series; she's a WWII British nurse who accidentally steps into 1743 Scotland. Here she gets adopted by a powerful Highland clan, meets her husband's black-hearted ancestor, almost gets burns at the stake for witchcraft, falls in love with a strapping young Scot named Jamie Fraser, puts her modern medical skills to good use, and fights off a damned wolf pack. In short, Claire is awesome. She's a richly drawn character with a strong voice, teetering just this side of Mary Sue-dom - but to be fair, Jamie is close enough to a Gary Stu to balance her out. And really, I don't care. Gabaldon manages to elevate historical time-traveling romance above the trashy level, and that's good enough to me. Doesn't hurt that there are no lush paintings of Claire's heaving bosom on any of the books.
3. Cloud - in Tamora Pierce's Immortals quartet, Daine Sarrasri's wild magic allows her to talk to animals, heal them and take on their forms. Cloud, her sassy gray pony, is one of the first characters we meet. Cloud stuck around after Daine lost her mother and went a bit wolfy for awhile, and the contact has left her a lot smarter than the average pony. Not to mention sassier.
4. Cordelia Chase - Cordy probably showed the most growth out of all the characters on BtVS. She started off as the head bitch of the Sunnydale, became an integral part of the Scooby Gang, then headed off to work with Angel's demon-fighting dudes in LA (newly psychic). I didn't watch the whole series run of 'Angel' so I don't know everything that happened to her, but I know that she didn't take any shit (except for that Connor thing...?). I did watch her last episode, and it was a lovely send-off.
5. Creed Bratton - the oldest guy on 'The Office.' Creed steals shit, a lot, and can always be counted on to be totally weird and off-putting and thus hilarious. His blog is www.creedthoughts.gov.www/creedthoughts and is actually a Word document set up by Ryan because actual Creed Thoughts would destroy the Internet.
Anyone who wants to do it, jump on it.
