Alright. ^^ Just since I'm in the mood to ask questions, I have another question for you guys.

[b]Do you write stories for your characters or just draw/order art of them?[/b]
To answer this myself, I most certainly write for my characters. I find their stories more important than their art and writing for them is really a bonding experience for me. It gives them much more meaning to me which is why I always have trouble selling any characters that I've written a story for. I have trouble writing set personalities or condensed histories for them, but I love just working on their stories. I believe it's difficult to write personalities for them since I don't think it's really possible to completely correctly describe someone's personality (including characters) since they're not always going to act under those restrictions (or if they did, that would make for some fairly dull stories). My longest story is around 51,000 words (my only finished one), but I have a bunch of others in the 10,000-30,000 range. Surprisingly, the story for my favorite character is only around 3,300 words so far when I've owned him for around four months (although I did partially fill out a character questionare for him which is currently around 3,600 words and I'm also working on a comic for him). Most of my characters all have stories that I'm constantly daydreaming about and adding onto which is part of what makes them special to me. It's really great for character developement as well to place the characters in conversations with each other and write how they would react in many different situations.
Also, on another note, I drew a little sketch of Tom and Maemi (pfft, Tom's so easily scared and Maemi loves to take advantage of that fact). I really need to draw Maemi more, this is her only real piece of art and it's just a quick concept sketch for a scene that probably won't even be in their story.
