*snickers* I based my first Pern character on myself, looks-wise, and we had a lot in common- which led to people accusing me of a character too good to be true, and "perfect characters"- this in a Weyr KNOWN for too beautiful to live people who were the Masters of Everything who killed people when they felt like it. (Sable was a rough place in the late 80's-early 90's, when I finally gave it up and rolled on the crazy people running it- one of them curses my name to this day because she thinks I thought she was fat.)
But she was team average, looks-wise, and her name wasn't mine- it was an Irish name I saw in a book that I thought fit the AMC name mold, Oriana. The queenrider thing at Sable was comedy, since the Weyrwomen historically lasted fairly short times before a. quitting, b. quitting and getting killed, c. getting ganged up on by the crazy people, quitting and getting transferred.
A few years back, a bunch of us Sable expats started a Weyr (Affray, for anyone who cares) after the SECOND Sable flameout (someone tried to restart it who was crazier than the last bunch put together), really enjoyed writing our characters in the Lost Years and to the "present" and then kind of drifted off. I enjoyed that, a LOT. Maybe I should put that fanfic in my fic LJ, too. We had some FUN group writing projects.
I totally forgot Easter. I was doing my taxes and went to the fabric store, forgetting it was a major stores-closed holiday. Fail.
