You've been reading a lot, Don.
When my book is published on the Internet in three weeks I'll send you the URL.
It's on the Web at the Mo but in unedited form [the novel is in full edition but the piublished form will be much better].
My point is that, Don, the characters that I create in my writing all have different names and an author must become all of those characters for them to be 'alive' and 'believable'.
As Tjampita knows, I am quite unlike my characters [such as Rastafarian mangi, Raskolnikov, Buffy's vampire, Moroni, Maxy Moron, Max bin Zionskymoron, Off with her head, Mormononic Malcolm, Ahmad bin Abdullah, Muhammed Aziz Jnr and Snr, Ronny Randle, etc etc etc] but I succeed if my characters draw in others as if they [ my characters] were factual entities.
It amazes me this phenomenon!
It's not as if we are imparting world-shattering information or something. It's nothing more than a forum where 'personalities' or 'characters' get together for some purpose or another.
While I am not creating annoying or silly 'people' I am busy gathering info for my work. That's why I am on the computer so much. So much work.

Seeya Don!
