What Do You Look Like?
The name picking thread made me want to revive a topic that has turned up a few times before on abc... How do you imagine different people who post on the abctales forums look? If you've met them, how did you think they'd look before you met them? Was it the same, or totally, weirdly different? Do certain choices of username or writing styles make it more likely you'll think that someone looks a certain way?
I have to say, much to my shame, if I read someone's work on abc who I've never met and it seems really, really good, I assume they're probably a bit ugly - as if their writing talent was born of an inability to get laid or something. I've met most of the people I chat with on the foums now, so I don't have quite the plehtora of imagined characters whizzing round my head as I used to. Probably a good thing - some were a bit surreal. I used to imagine ivoryfishbone as an actual anthropomorphised fish.
