new FFA

[mhalachai]

As a quick note, a new FFA entry: Conner and Merry Gentry. Over Swings. We'll see if anyone writes the Faith/Nathaniel request I made before I get to it.

I don't know if she's a Sue, as much as a character whose moral boundaries weren't thought out ahead of time. With Anita, there's a lot of background, and it looks like a lot of thought went into creating that backstory (the mothre's death, the fiancee dumping in college, the claustrophobia). Yes, it might have been plucked from LKH's life to a certain extent, but it's a solid background.

With Merry, it feels like she spent her time on the world of the sidhe, and getting the core harem group down (Doyle, Galen, Barinthus, Frost, Kitto), but didn't spend the same time on Merry. My impression.

And I'd love to see the hinted at Faith/Nathaniel.

It's stuck in my head now. Only problem is, it's set three chapters into the yet-unnamed/unwritten Mind the Gap sequel. Oh well. No spoilers for that story, so I may as well write it :)
