30 Days - day 3

3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favourite characters to write?

Stargate SG-1 - I've always been a Daniel Jackson fan, from the movie, so it won't come as a surprise to anyone if I say how much I enjoy writing Daniel, but as time has gone on I've also very much enjoyed trying to get my head around how to write Teal'c without him taking on the role he does in many of the episodes (standard line of dialogue - "Indeed.").

Man from UNCLE - I've told so many people by now how Illya Kuryakin was my first crush when I was too young to know what the hell was going on, and as time has gone on I've come to appreciate the devious and sarcastic person inside the lovely packaging. So he's my absolute favourite to write, as a result. However I've also grown to appreciate Napoleon Solo more, as I've grown up myself, and see more depth in him than a cursory Illya-focussed watching of the show allowed, so I find I also enjoy writing him as well.

Magnificent Seven - I wish I could say that it's a close contest between Ezra Standish and other characters, but that would be a terrible lie. I can't imagine writing Mag7 without Ezra as the focus of the story and I particularly like the chance it gives to stretch my vocabulary writing dialogue. ;)

Wild Wild West - I love Artemus Gordon but then I find that I also very much enjoy writing Dr Loveless, because his particular variety of (mostly Jim-obsessed in some way) crazypants is just so much fun!

Illya Kuryakin was my first crush too, same deal of being way too young to know what that was about. He was pretty and he got tied up a lot (which is another thing to be way too young to understand). So very glad to know what's what, now. He's still awfully pretty *g*

I have very strong memories of one particular episode I now know to be The Arabian Affair, which I must have seen when I was about 8, with Illya pretending to be the son of Lawrence of Arabia and striding about in robes at one point. Mmmm.

So, nature or nurture? I'm not sure I ever stood a chance of not being wired the way I am... ;)

Same here. I was an Illya person at first, but Napoleon grows on you.

I also think he's a shamelessly slutty bottom where IK is concerned, but that's another matter altogether... ;)
