Who's your favorite fictional character and why?

The question can refer to any fictional character ever - tv, film, theater, sketch, book, short story, poem etc.The three that come to my head immediately are Seymour Glass, Dana Scully, and Severus Snape. They are such well rounded characters, contradictory characters in some respects, and often times keep you guessing.What are some of your favorite characters and why?See More

"Oh for sure. We like to call it the "center of the universe" when it comes to comedy and improv. Seemed appropriate since its all about characters."

"Dialogue, characters, emotion, staying in the moment while writing a first draft. All was helped from improv/acting. Such a cool and unexpected link!"

We're delighted to have you join us in the novelist group. If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion. We do a live chat Wednesdays at 1 EST, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one. I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Plus, as a tour guide you get to meet all kinds of interesting characters.  A great way to study people, I think.

Hi Sarah,

Just read your profile and I see that you listed "tour guide" as one of your jobs. I started my venture into the entertainment industry by becoming a tour guide at Universal Studios. So hello from one tour guide to another!

Best,

Sarah, Just waving hello. If you’re looking for places to connect here and your fiction wanders into the novel realm at all, we’d love to have you join us in the Novelists (Struggling or Not) group.

In any event, hope you enjoy it here.
