Trains 2, Me 0. *headdesk*

But I shipped those two packages to Cosmetique. Hopefully they won't delay on sending my money back, and then I'll be a happy bunny.

Keep me entertained in my misery:

1. Comment to this post with the name of a character that I have written in fic. Or geeked out about.
2. I will comment telling you the following:
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character (if I've written them).
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

Even though I've mostly stuck to Stargate these days, Harry Potter and my personal multiverse (the 'gates, Eureka, and Jake 2.0) are also up for grabs, as well as anything I've forgotten. Have fun, kiddies!

Oh, I have a list. *sinister music*

I really liked the way Daniel came out in Ab esse ad posse (http://writers-island.livejournal.com/35187.html), even though this fic was not the fic I set out to write:

“Golf?” Daniel asked again, incredulous. “You could do anything for as long as you want without having to worry about consequences, and you play golf?”

I wrote Jack rather than Daniel in The Morning After (http://writers-island.livejournal.com/35374.html), but this is probably the best physical decription of him (outside of professor!Daniel in Jealous of Your Cigarette (http://writers-island.livejournal.com/28099.html)) I have ever written:

My robe doesn’t really fit him very well, but somehow it still looks good on him. The faded green flannel is stretched tight against his shoulders, but the cuffs still brush the knuckles of the hand hanging by his side. There’s a tantalizing triangle of lightly-tanned chest visible above the loosely-tied belt, and the hem reveals those shapely legs from the knee down. He’s not wearing his glasses and his hair is standing up in adorable tufts all over his head, the left side flattened from where he must have slept on it.

And the way he deals with everything in In His Kiss (http://writers-island.livejournal.com/26111.html) is just so Daniel, and remix aside, I'm very proud of it:

Over the next two months, Daniel’s major project was to teach himself sign language. Actually, it only took him about three weeks to learn enough words to consider himself fluent, and he spent the other five or so teaching Jack, Sam, and Teal’c. Sam picked it up pretty quickly, as did Teal’c, who thought it was positively ingenious, but teaching Jack was rather labor-intensive.

*looks back over list* Yeah, that about covers it. Now that I focus on it, I seem to write Daniel-through-Jack's-eyes more than I write Daniel on his own.
