Blast. There are two fics I really want to work on, but I can't seem to find a good beginning for either of them. So, since procrastination is my middle name, here are some more random facts about my Ami figments.
- No matter how divergent my multiple muses are, some traits are nearly always retained. None of my Combeferres are attracted to women, though some of them have had mistresses. Most of my Grantaires were moderate drinkers when they started hanging out with the Amis, but wound up as tremendous drunks--sometimes gradually, but most often in connection with some disastrous event concerning Enjolras.
- They don't vary in physical appearance. Jehan, for example, always looks a lot like the youth in Waterhouse's The Siren; the only thing that changes is that sometimes he has bad skin. All my Courfeyracs have long, very straight, medium brown hair, strong noses and chins, and general good looks. Etc etc etc.
- They also have a disturbing tendency to share pasts. I often work from a default template and throw random shit in, so Orestes!Enjolras has exactly the same background as default!Enjolras, with the sole difference that he wasn't sent away to boarding school and thus had time to stay at home and garner a really fucked-up family situation. [You've seen Orestes!Enjolras. He was in "Stains." That's your first clue to how fucked-up his family is.] Also, many of my Combeferres share an ex-mistress named Roseanne, who left in a snit when she realized he really was more interested in historical linguistics than he was in kissing her.
- Laigle, Bahorel, and Feuilly barely talk to me at all. It's a shame. Though I might lure Laigle out someday when I'm feeling particularly punny.
- I don't, strictly speaking, have a Gavroche figment, but when I'm in a gen RP I have more fun tossing him in than I rightfully should. He's such an annoying little shit that he's loads of fun to RP.
- This is less important at the moment, because I haven't written or published most of the plotbunnies floating around in my head, but none of my stories affect one another. They don't take place on the same timeline. Usually the figments just pop up in one fic and are never seen again; the only exceptions are Orestes!Enjolras, who has another story planned for him, and genderfucked!Enjolras, who will be part of a story arc if he ever gets written.
Yes, that was an exercise in pure vanity and self-indulgence. This is my vain and self-indulgent icon. ph33r.

And Feuilly doesn't speak to you because he's too busy having sex with Joly 8D *typical*
