Being fair and all...

---

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story? Alli needs to get over Mardil, work out her feelings for Aimè, figure out why Illamatar isn't talking to her, do something about it, and have a climactic werewolf confrontation that may or may not involve Blue Wizards and Malfoidacil.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end? She should lose her Sight with good grace and develop some sense of normalcy.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing? Hiding out from werewolves that will attack as soon as they discover her Sight. Getting Aimè to take her to the graveyard. Looking cool.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal? She needs to have a few deep thoughts, get to the graveyard, have a deep conversation with Aimè, a Long Awaited Chat with Malfoidacil, a bonding moment with Illamatar, and a climactic battle scene.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story? Roggie of Morgoth should develop a nice strong backbone, calm his temper, and actually take responsibility for his realm.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end? He will end on good terms with Mardil and will learn how to make decisions without any advisors. He will start to like his job.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing? Moping, lurking, possibly drinking. Wishing he was still acting.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal? Have a private meeting with Mardil. Have a Deep Thought.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story? Illamatar should have a bit of fun intervening at random intervals. Really, that's about it.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end? He shouldn't.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing? Watching life like it's television.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal? Play mind games for his own amusement. Maybe nudge a small creature into a volcano to stop the world from ending. That sort of thing.

My major trouble here is that I don't have a good idea of what I'm doing or trying to accomplish. I intended for Lola to be more of a cameo, and only incidental to the storyline, but she insists on hanging around and bothering the menfolk and her over-booked writer. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you, Rune. GTalk won't let me log in for some reason. I don't know when I'll have the time to write for Lola but I will try as soon as I can.

What do I want my character to have accomplished in this story?
Lola is pleased with herself and her life, and she's content enough not to worry about accomplishment much. Her current job allows her to do pretty much whatever she pleases, which suits her.

How should my character have changed, if at all, before the end?
Change is for less attractive people.

What is my character currently in the midst of doing?
Proving to Draco and Frej that they aren't worthy.

What does my character still need to do to meet my end goal?
Not much, really.
