Davey Ball
The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
My gut reaction is Bacon, and, given that I've just had chocolate pudding to appease the inner food gods, I think that's not because of the yum.
Davey Ball has a nice ring to it but he would have been teased mercilessly as a child.
I like Ball, but I'm afraid it's too punny on a variety of levels. But sometimes punny isn't such a bad thing, and it *is* a real name, so I waffle undecidedly.
If you like the pun, and he makes life hard on people, maybe Baines is better.
I'd go with Baines.
I tried Baines last night, but I may switch to Bacon or Ball after all--I'd forgotten my vow never to give a character a name ending in "s" again. The possessive forms annoy me that much--Baines' looks wrong, because there's only one of him, but Baines's looks awkward. Maybe I'll go back to that Yorkshire surname list and see if Baine or Bain can be a name by itself, because it *does* suit the character...
ETA--and Bain it is.
Don't know if it is worth posting challenges, but for those in a drabble mood, after this week's events, what else but ---
"Wet" t Edit for clarification (non-porn)
so, porn?
To make it a proper *challenge* it should be "wet, non-porn"
