How about I challenge anyone who writes, metas, or just plain squees about a character to do the word list thing I linked to as my Day 11 challenge response? It can be words, short phrases, or quotations. They just have to feel (to you) like they "fit" the character in some way - describe them, throw light on them, words they might say, words they might have a pet peeve about. Anything! Write 'em all down on a clean sheet/page.
It works for pairings and best enemies, too. Two lists, side by side, with the words that fit both parties smack in the middle.
