Ugh, Zena, I'm in another bind. I'm working on another batch of OCs.

I'm doing a character for Fowler's Fowl (thanks for that idea, by the way. Thing's bloody enough to be a Taratino movie) but I wanna turn out at least two or three more new characters, unrelated to that tale. I have a few ideas, but we briefly touched on one specific idea in the chat.

Anyway, I'm digging through different key/notable novels, and I understand that was have some of those kicking around; surreal and more fantastical ones like Alice's Adventures, Pinnochio, but we also have more realistic ones (with almost no fantasy content) like Treasure Island and Tarzan, and some of the more satirical/ midly disturbing ones like Gulliver's Travels, etc.

Heck, I'm partially responsible for that Phantom Tollbooth craze a while back.

Anyway, long story short, I keep coming back to one single novel... I'm a diehard fan of the novel True Grit, it's well respected in the reading world and it's got characters itching for OCs, but...

See, I'm aware that the rules are tightening down here. It's a new era. I get that. So, in lew of politeness rather than going ahead and just doing it, would you mind if I ran a hypothetical character page/ bio through you? Just to see if it could potentially be up to snuff? Here's some reading material on why exactly it's such an importnant book.

Thanks again for everything and being so ready to welcome me back!
