Substitute DE

[spooky-lemur.livejournal.com]

So I'm home sick and since there's no DE posted yet, I'll nab it. I've actually two questions and feel free to answer both, one or neither.

1. What metrics do you use to decide on applying a character?

2. What character (not necessarily from your canon) would you love to see in Bar?

And now for soup.

Awesome theme music!

I try to figure out if the pup has the potential to make the bar more awesome, or at least more confusing. Also good to check is if I can write more than a paragraph in what I think is the pup's voice without going in a editing it to shreds. Not that this stops me from occasional bouts of massive editing where I exposition all over the page and need to trim it back...
And sometimes they just wave their arms back and forth in my head and yell, "Hey! Thread me with that guy! We can try and cheat at cards with each other."

As for what characters I would love to see? Um.

Doctor Dinosaur from Atomic Robo would be hilarious. Hilarious and full of grenades. Canonmates in general would be good - I have a bunch of pups who would rather like their significant others to find a door.

Dr. Dinosaur would be awesome! And I'm still tempted with Hank Pym but he'd be pretty AU in costume and attitude. I liked his Wasp costume and the awkward in trying to move beyond his past and yet honor Janet.

"...Get a different name Hank. It sounds like you spent a month locked in my closet or something."

Excuse me, I'll just be over here. Facepalming at the headvoice.

Okay, you got me there. But is Giant Man any better? Well I guess it'd be less creepy at least.

"It's better Hank. For you, almost anything is."

A beat.
