day 14: favorite kind of pb: actor, musician, or model

Model.  Actually, if I have to use a PB, I prefer to use a PB I'm not very familiar with.  I don't want to feel like an actor/musician is influencing my character so much that he/she isn't exactly my character anymore.  Basically, I'm afraid of turning the PB into a fan character, you know?  So I prefer models because well, all they really do is picture work.   

(I had a batch of model PBs I really liked for Angels - Chris Kramer, Brent Tuhtan (even though I had to pretend he was +50 pounds to be a proper Galen), and Ben Vescovi.  David Usher (musician) and Megan Fox (you know who she is) were two others I picked, though I've become more familiar with those guys in the past few years, so I probably would not use them again XD ) 


Ooof I am so out of it tonight, so sick and light in the head.  I hope to finish a fic tonight though XD

Gah, I'm very much with you about not liking Pbs I know very well, and the danger of fan characters - it's something I wrestle with every time I use a Pb, because I'm very torn between wanting someone unknown or whose persona isn't set in stone and wanting someone who has a wide range of expressions (this is especially true in a community like Pax, where there's a lot of threading going on).
