Characters You Know

Basically, write a character study about a person _whom you actually know_ (however slightly). Describe this person so that we, your attentive readers, feel as though we also knew him/her. *May I submit more than one?* Always. *Are there any limitations?* Do not use the person's full name, because I don't want to be responsible for their embarrassment. *Do presentation & grammar count?* Yes, and not just on Ficly; that’s everywhere. Though I can be a harsh critic, I’m not expecting perfect grammar. Do a spell-check, put spaces between your paragraphs, and try to follow at least basic grammar rules for coherency. Although I will issue no formal judgment, I can promise that any piece difficult to read will not get the fullness of my love. *PRIZES* - - - Inspiration - - - Improving your description-writing skills - - - The knowledge that you've written one more Ficlet.
