Fun is for faggots and writers.

Proposed exercise. For fun. Write a character based on us. Each of us in the Silly Collective. One villian, one hero- however you interpret the two. One week at a time? I want to see if anyone is down with this; if so, I will write the guidelines.
But I am thinking 10-15 lines at the most. Introduce everyone as you see them if you were to exaggerate/diminish them into physicality and caricature and mildly intriguing sub-plots before you insert them into the Next Great American Novel.
i.e. Sampinos as a villian in Cold War Memphis/Sampinos as a hero in 19th-century Melbourne, Australia.
It would take research and brevity but I think it would be fun and challenging. And wicked fun to see what everyone comes up with.
And.
I don't have to say anyone died of ennui from reading the shit I have been turning out lately.
Let me know via comments and one we all throw in, I will start the guidelines.

Sampinos is already a sociopathic liutenant tough who cringes at the thought of violence yet breaks the pinkies of those that offend him

Heck to the yes. I'm all for it. We can turn it into a comic book.
