But this whole thing got me thinking.  What are the reasons authors have for choosing which curse befalls their characters?  I know some are obvious, and central to their plotline, but I'd like to hear everyone's inspiration for when it doesn't rule the storyline.  Maybe I'll start a thread for this on the wiki. <hr id="EC_stopSpelling">> Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 19:25:54 -0400 > From: michael.k.olson@gmail.com > To: MKGuild@lists.integral.org > Subject: Re: [Mkguild] Running Wild (part 2 of ?) > > Heh, I wouldn't take anything too personal here.
