Favorite Afterimage Side Character

Ais · Joined: 16 Apr 2007 Posts: 906 Location: USA

Trying this again, only this time to include the side characters from Afterimage (in no particular order)...

So it kinda sucks that you can't choose more than one. I debated back and forth whether Kassian should go on the list and ultimately left him off due to his recurring role, like Carhart has. I think his presence would just skew the data. But feel free to comment by reply as to whether you do or to not like him or anyone else in the story.

Harriet and Andrew are on there because even though they both showed up in book one, there's a little more chance to get to know them better in Afterimage so opinions may have changed regarding them.

I think I got all the main Afterimage side characters who have so far shown up. If I missed someone let me know.

Maybe this poll will become a poll on the main page.. WE SHALL SEE.

eerrrgghhh it's so hard to chooooooosseeee.

It's a juggle between Doug or Emma.

Or perhaps Cade. He's the biggest cockweed ever - I can't stand him, but God he's fun to read about.

I think I'm going to have to go Doug, though.

He's just ridiculously amusing. He's like, the perfect Drill Seargent.

I just think he fits the role you gave him really well.

I also don't know which one to chose. Emma or Harriet? I like them both. Emma to me is like a friend that you want to have. She's so likable. I think I'll have to throw coin to make my decision.

p/s: I'm sooo not gonna vote that bi**h! You know who I'm talking about.

Thanks to both of you!

lol eijanklonoa-- yeah, I don't suspect many people would choose Ann as their favorite but it's possible some would which is why she's on there. Hmm... now I actually want to make this poll be on the main page because I'm getting curious what people would vote.

Also eijanklonoa-- many thanks to you and everyone else who participated over in the feedback section! <3 I didn't reply over there because I didn't want to interrupt the conversation going on between all of you.

I thought you will never reply to me.. Sad

lol

Not at all... It's just that it's really fun to see people discussing amongst themselves their ideas, thoughts, etc, and I feel like, as one of the authors, if I interject myself into it then people will stop. Since I don't want that to happen, sometimes I won't get involved in conversations just so people keep talking ^^

Also, you happened to post when I was on vacation for a week ;)

I'd never vote for Ann, even if she is a necessity She'e just a eeeg She makes me sick...AAAnd it isn't even about the fact she slept with Sin! (Surprisee!!) But for me it's Doug he is ''the perfect Drill Seargent.'' As Nymph said. Although at the last he acted like a jerk Razz

but ooo well We need jerks to make life more interesting!

I'm starting to like Cade more and more, the more I read.

Srsly, he's such a dicktard, but he's just so -fun-!

lol dicktard XD He'd totally call someone that, too... And I bet you thought when he first showed up that you'd never like him ;P

Sweet-- Doug's getting some love...

I didn't really have a specific favorite side character yet in afterimage but after chapter 18 I turned into a big cade fan. I did like him before but after 18 it just made me love him. specifically the last bit of chapter 18 with the dialogue between Boyd and Cade.

He won you over with his sweet words, huh? XD

Maybe Boyd should end up with Cade?

*Grin*

Ok, so I voted for Cade. Very Happy

He's just such an interesting, entertaining character!!
Yes, he's a dick, yes he's as politically incorrect as humanly possible but that that's what makes him so entertaining!!!
It's a love/hate thing, it's uber annoying but at the same time the more you write him the more new aspects to his character we can see. And his outrageous behavior nicely complements other characters' good manners or/and standoffish attitude.
Cade is fun! And he can teach you stuff about Little mermaid, how cool is that?! Very Happy

And I think he likes Boyd 8) They make such a ridiculously funny pair I just can't get enough Very Happy

But I would choose Kassian over all of those from the list any day, Kassian ROCKS! The only characters I like as much as him are Sin and Boyd.
(Dear Mr.God, if there's a Kassian somewhere here in rl please let me meet him!!! I would fall in love on the spot Embarassed

I'm such a fan girl, oooh...)

I also like Zachary, especially when he's interacting with Sin or Emilio, oh the tension! So much drama Shocked

I like Ann because she's so messed up, she reminds me of some single women in their 30s I know, always dating some dick, always messing up her life because of sex, weak and yet strong enough to keep on going, unstable and unreasonable at time, surprisingly wise at others, submissive in the morning, dominant at work and passive aggressive in the evening. Very interesting Smile

LOL I love your analysis of Ann (and the women you know more or less in her position). Especially the submissive/dominant/passive-aggressive part.

Thanks for explaining why! It's really fun + helpful for us ^_^

I have to admit, at first I didn't expect anyone to like Cade. I was pretty sure people would just hate him indefinitely ;P It's good to know he's garnered some fans despite (or, more precisely, because of) his attitude.

Good luck finding a Kassian out there, although if you do you may find you'll have some issues, but not nearly as many as if, say, you found yourself a Sin XD

I never liked Andrew, I must admit. Or Toby.

As usual, out of curiosity-- Why not?

Nymph, I too am very curious as to why you don't like Andrew. I agree that Toby has shown no redeeming characteristics to balance his pomp-ass attitude.

I'd also love to know what happened between Ryan and Andrew that they broke up.

(How's that for a subtle hint Sonny? XD )

He's just so...well, annoying.

I don't like the way he talks, or his naive attitude. He's so, I don't know, pompously <i>good</i>, as if he does nothing wrong or 'bad'. And the impression I get from him is that he expects everyone else around him to be like that, and takes it as a personal offense if they aren't.

/endrant.
