If I ever need a second pen name?

Muhahahaha!

What's Your Evil Name?

Blogthings: Cheaper Than a Therap

Yeah, yeah, what else is new?

This test brought to you by Blakeney Manor.

Find out:Which Scarlet Pimpernel character are you?



Brave, heroic and very clever. I KNOW! Tell me something new!

Seriously, I love the Scarlet Pimpernel. Growing up I saw this very TV-version so many times I know most of the dialogue by heart. And I'm not alone. If someone in my family says: "That explains it!" three other immediately reply: "The gentleman in my boudoir is not Armand St Just but Louis!"

Not to mention how useful the phrase "Those English and their stuuupid sense of fair play!" can be. And Ian McKellen says it so well!

I really need more fencing in my current WIP....

So who are you?

Intelligent, Witty, And Tremendously Attractive

You are Elizabeth Bennet!


Take the Quiz here!

Thank you for that! See, if I had to be one of Jane Austen's heroines I would most likely pick Elizabeth. She just seems to have the most fun! She's funny and witty and pretty and thinks herself just a little more clever and a little less vain than she really is. If I'm going to be honest here, I always found her far more interesting than Darcy.

And this raises a rather interesting issue for me - often when I see romantic novels discussed, I realize that people are all about the heroes. Not so for me. Not that I don't like a good hero - I just don't feel for them like I do for the heroine. For me, she is what makes or breaks the novel.

When I tried to break down my likes and dislikes, I realized that I have "A Type." You know, just like you may find that all guys you go for are tall and dark, or beefy and blond, or (in my case) have huge noses. And my heroine type has the following traits:

- spunky
- not nearly as smart as she thinks
- still pretty smart, and definitely smarter than most others think
- witty, preferably in a self-depreciating, smart mouthed way
- brave, as in stands up for what she thinks is important
- resilient
- pretty average and averagely pretty
- passionate about something other than passion

Now that I've realized this, I'll start working on broadening my horizons. Certainly other types of women are attractive too?
