But characters in my books tend to have their fingers stolen or speared with mirrors etched with naked women on them. Man, what do I have against fingers?<BR/><BR/>KM: I do similar things, use the situation but not the person. Because for me, using the person is really inviting them to be mad at me for all eternity because of the wonky things I did to them.<BR/><BR/>Christy: If I wasn't going trick-or-treating with my five-year-old, I would totally be the fetish fairy.

Just use the general idea and change it up a bit, or ask him if you can write a character loosely based on him, then don't make it a mass murderer, unless he would like that sort of thing.<BR/><BR/>Poor Horse!

Jon Lovits being channeled is just like another mix-n-match in my mind. <BR/><BR/>You'ver ruined me Carrie! I'm driving down the road thinking "policeman-smurf . . . etc."<BR/><BR/>go to the grocery store thinking "Terminator-Snow White . . . etc) <BR/><BR/>And in target I went to the costume section not to buy a costume, but to see what kind of possibilities I might be missing! <BR/><BR/>Remember your post about giving people fettishes? Well.. . you've given me one. It is it a super power or are you a fettish fairy? ohh! Ohhh! There's another mix-n-match, you're the Super Fettish Fairy. Instead of wings you have a cape and a big S sown on the front of your sprarkling gown. <BR/><BR/>~sigh~ Am I destined to think of mix-n-matches for the rest of my life? <BR/><BR/>ChristyC.R.

Sad but ultimately true.<BR/><BR/>Vivi: Pashmina caught in vending machine. Now THAT takes talent.<BR/><BR/>BPV: I think you're right. It's not entirely the same without the eye rolling and freaky hand gestures.<BR/><BR/>PJ: Hasn't it? And it's intermittent, which really confuses me.<BR/><BR/>Kelly: I've got some chocolate ones here just in case.

I even got to fly a jet plane. It was tres cool. ;)<BR/><BR/>Christy: Thanks, I'll definitely try that Blogger thing. And yeah, I know what you mean, but all of my friends are already rabidly reading to see if they can identify themselves, and it's also a well known fact that my books are populated with a high proportion of my ex boyfriends. I'm not sure I want to push my luck. ;)Carrie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893023777471521703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303232661644308222.post-35311850217018684982008-10-24T11:16:00.000-04:002008-10-24T11:16:00.000-04:00I had the same curse going on in my blog.

If you just change some character details no one will ever know! If you don't use people you know as inspiration, you're only hurting yourself. Real people are nutts and make great subjects for modeling characters. Just change enough so they won't know for sure and they can't sue you. ;0)C.R.

He'd go out to the lobby and arrange all the magazines just so. I keep trying to find a story to put him into (preferably one where he gets dismembered or something, because I loathed him), but every time I try, it sounds like I made him up to be funny.
