1. Surprisingly, I just wanted a 7th year in WaH and he opened up after the first month. Or during, can't remember exactly. I settled on trying to mold him into an Irish younger version of EL's Adrian and voila, the rest is history.

2. You know, I think my favorite moment is still probably that completely oddball sex-change plot in WaH where he went and got Parvati and Lavender to give him a makeover and a photoshoot. Just because of the sheer ridiculousness of it. I still laugh.

3. Making him 2nd cousins with Seamus and building some a broad-scoped and crazy family for him. Going from a name on a list to having cousins, little sisters, the Turpinses married in.. it's been a pretty awesome life for El Wayne.

4. Every time Wayne even so much as talked to Sam made me laugh. It's like they were always trying to one-up each other and seeing who could embarrass the other. Or make them flinch. Pretty hilarious.

5. When I decided, right off the cuff, to let Wayne take the fall for Neville and Seamus in WaH, which ended up with him getting carted off to Azkaban and leaving the game. I missed playing him and I like to think the game missed having him around.

6. Sam, obviously. But let's go with less obviously and even go cross-platform. I think he'd get along great with Buffy. He just likes women who can handle themselves in a tussle and have a sense of humor. I'm sayin.

	Logan! (Reply to this) (Thread)

Logan!

1. I wanted to join WaH and there just weren't a lot of spots available. I was originally going to app for Eomer Proudfoot, even wrote the entire app for him, then the hold for Logan Stebbins dropped and I switched my hold to him just because I really didn't click with the name Eomer Proudfoot. haha So the app had me going through and changing the name everywhere I entered it (though I think it actually still says Eomer somewhere in it) and changed the younger sister to an older brother.

2. Since he's non-canon, I'll go with game canon and say that my favorite moment with him would be a tie. Either the first kinda 'date' with Tabby where he promised not to gnaw on her lip, or New Year's with Tabby, Brownie, and Tabby's Dad. That was a special moment for him, I think.

3. I want to say that my favorite piece of headcanon for Logan is that he's always known what he wanted to be and what he wanted to do. That never wavered, not once. He was driven and dedicated, while still being a good friend to those he cared about, and he always stuck to his guns so to speak. It cost him his prefectship, several sessions with the InqSquad, his dad... but he never gave up, never quit.

4. Hah, every time his friends would start making dirty jokes that would go over his head and he'd be entirely confused as to what was so funny, until he finally got it and was mortified and at the same time trying to play it off like "ha ha, guys."

5. I guess this technically counts -- that I had such a hard time transitioning him to being an adult with a job and kids and a wife. It's kind of like Jamie said for Tabby, moving to that happily ever after kind of atmosphere was just really difficult to click with and in the end we both just dropped them.

6. Josh, of course! But I think he'd also get along pretty well with Peter.

	Draco! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm going to assume you mean WaH Draco, and not one of my many older versions! :)

1. I just enjoy playing him. He can be such an ass, because he's just NOT a nice guy. He simply isn't. Call it a product of his environment if you will, but he's always looking out for Draco (or his mum and dad, when they're around). Yet at the same time, he doesn't want to be EVIL but is kind of roped into it because what seemed to be COOL and RIGHT ended up being FUCKING SCARY.

2. Go ahead and judge me, but my favorite moment in canon is when he figured out that Harry was spying on him under the invis cloak, then petrified him, kicked him, and then covered him up and left him on the train. Damn you, Tonks! Mainly because it's pretty much the only time he ever got one over on Harry AND because the first log I ever did with Draco was KIND of similar, a year or two before the book was released.

3. I actually don't have much in the way of headcanon for Draco, mainly because he's fairly detailed and mapped out in canon. I have always envisioned him of having this exquisitely detailed expensive-arse throne-like chair in the Slytherin commonroom in front of the hearth that was HIS CHAIR and everyone knew it was his and would have hell to pay if their arse so much as brushed against it. That was fun.

4. Draco doesn't make me laugh. Not really. Though like with Wayne, I laughed at him during the oddball sex-change plot, mainly because Whit's offhanded comment is something I actually put to use and had him using a few Lady Gaga icons for comedy gold.

5. Easy -- every single time he's ever had a chance to be a decent human being and just screwed it all up because he's a stubborn, foolish asshole, I've been frownyfaced at him.

6. I thought his weird friendship with Tracey was pretty cool and would have liked to see it flesh out more, but alas. :)

1. Because Whit and Jamie MADE ME DO IT. Seriously.

2. Well since his only moment in canon is "he disappeared and we never found his body," I'm gonna have to go with game canon and I... don't really have a favorite yet? Or nothing springs to mind. I had fun writing about baby poop?

3. Simply that I've always pictured him as a black guy, I guess. I think everyone else has probably played him as a general caucasian. Matt Headcanon for the win!

4. Hah, every time he gets into a verbal sparring match with Benjy, though sometimes I have to scale back because I think I have him picking on Benjy TOO much.

5. Uhmmmmmm... nothing yet, really. Knowing I'm gonna lose him eventually, perhaps?

6. It'd be easier to say who he WOULDN'T (Zach). Though since I have to pick one, I'll avoid the easy Benjy response and say he'd have gotten along great with Drew.

	1. I wanted an older Hitwizard and he was the right age range and had family in place. Voila! 2. I've only had him for like a week, so... uhmm... chatting with his wife? :) 3. He's 100% headcanon, really, so uhm....... Uhmmmmmmm. I've enjoyed building his relationships so far. 4. Nothing yet! 5. Nothing yet! 6. I think he would've gotten along well with Ed!

1. Because my wife told me to. No joke.

2. No canon stuff, but game stuff is all over the place. He's a ton of fun all the time. The I Slept In A Coffin report was awesome.

3. The middle kid syndrome is my favorite and I enjoy playing it out. He doesn't really have his own place in the world so he's constantly striving to find his niche.

4. The #2 one works well here too. Hahah

5. His introspective entry about his family :(

6. He can totally get along with any of your characters! :) I think he'd have a good time with Dulci coughcough.

	I loved the I Slept in a Coffin report. (Also I absolutely added Post Break-Up Sex by the Vaccines to the Dulci playlist after it popped up on my iPod while I was walking this morning. Victor was already on the Bad Idea list there. Marlene isn't the only one who wouldn't object to a little cougar playtime. Rrow!) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hah, those Ketteridges and older women. Those Dulci's only got like six years on him, versus Marlene's sixteenish on Ashley. haha (Reply to this) (Parent)

1. Because Whit asked me to! (Kind of a theme here, I think. I seem to do what women tell me to do)

2. There's not really much to go on in canon-canon, but I will say I rather enjoyed the Hug a Muggleborn stuff. haha

3. That he and Bellatrix actually DO care about each other and it's not just a marriage out of duty, etc.

4. He doesn't really make me laugh, though like in #2, I got a chuckle out of the Hug a Muggleborn stuff. I had it in my head that he Imperiused an intern in whateverdepartmentitisthatmakesthoseMinistrypamphlets to take it to Gwendolyn Dobbs, who signed off on it without giving it too much thought and instead of presenting it herself or having marketing do it, assigned it to Rodolphus to present, so it ALMOST backfired, which made it more fun for me.

5. Just knowing that he's going to be responsible for the torture and insanity of my wife's character, which is Yvonne Strahovski, makes me frowny face.

6. Cissa, obviously. But I've been trying to avoid the obvious, and therefore I'm going to say that he would get along with - and here's a surprise - your old Patrick Ryan! Well, when he's not off Eating Death. Just chitchat, I think, he'd have gotten along - assuming we did some aging adjustments to have them even willing to talk to each other, that is.
