Claire spoke briefly with her to inform her of her brothers masturbation habits and give The People's Eyebrow.
Is it cold in here?:
The game we play with a fiction author is to make believe the characters are real people for a while.
If they were real people, there are several I would not want as friends.
DSL:
As someone whose business it was to put words and pictures in front of a not-always-appreciative public for a quarter-century and more, I can't go along with the characterization of an artist needing to anticipate the fact of criticism as "victim-blaming."
It cheapens the concept of being unfairly blamed for another's attack on you.
Critical* feedback is and should be part of the artistic exchange in exactly the same way that assault should NOT be part of walking down the street.
*Critical defined here as analytical and supported discussion, positive or negative in nature, NOT "I don't like this so it sucks and you're horrible."
ReindeerFlotilla:
If they were real, I would not want any of them as friends. They're all children, and they act like it. But that has less to do with a personality assessment and more to do with a lack of common interests.
As an honest evaluation, I'd certainly take someone with Marigold's traits as a friend. Sure she acts in a self interested manner, but she also does genuinely care, doesn't turn her fails into drama bombs often and makes efforts to make up for them in a prompt manner. Nobody said friendship was supposed to be easy, and having someone who will actually consider and act on your feelings is pretty rare, in my experience.

Thanks... I thought so, but my archive-diving skill (or memory) isn't what it used to be.
