I'm glad my post was helpful :)<BR/><BR/>I've actually not picked one...I want one that shows that while the side characters are decent people, they're not fashionable or popular (as this is one of the things the main character longs for). I'm going to tweak it a bit more, but that'll be the angle I'm going for.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164206822403278866.post-12305305804412040162008-07-29T20:14:00.000-04:002008-07-29T20:14:00.000-04:00This was a great post.

It's amazing how a few crucial details set the scene.
