I did have some idea that was never set in stone, where she became a librarian. In her adult years, through books, she got some confidence enough to socialize without a costume. Writing about that would be interesting. I don't know if I could do that as a fanfic, because she would probably leave Bullworth after graduation. I will be sure to keep that in mind, and ask if I need help.

More details about him the better!

I find that process a tricky one. I have total respect for anyone who can do that. Usually, I make my characters as they are. Then when I explore their past or future, it ends up having and effect on who they are now, then make changes. Like with one character, I had an idea of who he should be, then explored his past a bit, then as it played out the seeds started to sow of something that would give him a fear I never thought of, so that had to be canon. Or maybe I would think of one memory of the character that was vague before, then explore that. Everything plays out a bit different to how I thought, and I realize they wouldn't take away the same experiences from it than I planned before. I can't just say "this character is terrified of birds," then write a scene where that first trigger was.

I'm starting to expand on my own characters a bit into other fandoms. It happened when I was playing one of the Uncharted games, and I thought to myself that Jo would so thrive in a world like that. Totally reckless, and taking each moment as it comes. Same with one of the GTA games, I thought Toni would make a good villain or regular criminal in that sort of environment. Yeah, I will keep them as their Bully selves, but looks like some character's adult years might just be in another fandom.

I got to say, I really like the little symbols you use, like the hand gesture one. Are they from a emoticon sheet?
