> I hold with comic writer Mark Gruenwald’s assertion that a good fictional character is one who has some depth and background. He always said that it should be possible to figure what a good character would have for breakfast, what albums they’d own and so on. So in that spirit, you might want to answer the following quick survey for your characters (you can answer it as a poster too if you like).

Well, for Nats, he'd *probably* line up with me, considering he's simply a dimmer fictionsuit.
>
> Breakfast of choice

French toast. With maple syrup and some powdered sugar. Or, y'know, a bowl of Trix. (Yeah, for both of us.)
>
> Last book read

In real life? I honestly don't remember. I rarely have time for prose. Whatever it is, I'm certain I didn't finish it.

Nats? I dunno. The last Harry Potter, or something. He doesn't read much, either.
>
> Last CD/DVD/vinyl bought

Reality: God, I don't keep up on the music scene, so I hardly own any CDs at all. The Barenaked Ladies' latest (no, not the Christmas album, the one before that), probably. As for DVDs... I picked up Blankman and Batman: The Movie (1966). Good stuff.

Nats: He's probably more into the stuff than I am, searching out old Smiths and Pulp albums, and getting more good TV shows on DVD.
>
> Last movie watched in a cinema – and what they thought of it

Reality: Batman Begins. Really liked it.
Nats: Batman Begins. Really liked it.
>
> Regular subscription publications

Reality: Well, I read TV Guide. And the comics pages in the paper.
Nats: He probably renewed his subscription to Electronic Gaming Monthly.
>
> Most treasured possession

Reality: I honestly don't know. I'd have to think about that one.
Nats: Sex princesses aside...?
>
> Favourite fictional character (non PV)

Reality: One of Douglas Adams' gang. Arthur, Zaphod, Dirk...
Nats: Homer Simpson.
>
> Ideal date venue - and who'd be the date

Reality: Anywhere. And I'd rather not say.
Nats: Who needs to go places? He's got a sex princess.
>
> Favourite sport or social activity

Reality: Sports? Society? Hah!
Nats: Curling.
>
> How they’d spend their last 24 hours if they knew for sure they were going to die

Reality: It's not like I've ever done anything, anyway. But I've already written One Hour, so...
Nats: See, there are two words, and they start with "S" and end with "ex Princess."



I'm not very good at these types of surveys. Neither Nats or myself are particularly well-fleshed-out characters.
