Hey folks,

my fave Gibson characters are Lady 3Jane and Cayce Pollard. I would spend my full bank account (is not much) to date both of them.

I would say Cayce, not because I want to date her, but because I really identified with her on a lot of things, and P.R. really struck a cord with me.

I think probably Turner. He seems so...obsolete. This honed killing tool kinda wandering around on auto-pilot. One of those sword w. no Samurai, armor w. no Knight, type deals.

I also liked Kumiko, Mona, and the Bobby Newmark from CZ, oh, AND Slick Henry (good call Hasa). Tho I guess I like Dog Solitude as a character more than Slick, but since he functions as it's POV, if you will....

From Burning Chrome I *really* liked the Fragments of a Hologram Rose character and both of the Dogfight characters. Can't remember their names currently.

  • Sorry, but I hate Bigend. He is unsympathetic and reminds me of Tom Cruise. Besides he is gay. I mean, spends so much time with Cayce Pollard without even trying once to get it on. A textbook example for a gay.

    You're sure he doesn't just prefer to make love to his ego?

    And why "sorry"? I know you're either a hydra head, troll, or just new and clueless, but surely by now you've realized we rather enjoy different opinions here. Uber was a big Bigend fan, I find him pretty trite and boring. No need to apologize, not for that at least.

    So, do you have issues w. teh fagz or what? I think H.B. might actually be a bit more interesting as a homosexual, personally.

    Yeah, I thought you were just clueless, but going by this, I begin to think you're a troll, Biochips.

    You think of me as a troll? I just said my opinion. I'm serious when it comes to WG's novels.

    So, seriously, what do you have against fags then?
