i love the essay. essay is good. i think that's one of hte reasons i really like your journal (i was going to say 'you' but that sounded kinda mushy..and maybe creepy coming from someone you don't know from a bar of soap..heh) Besides teh fact you write the most wicked fic, even your journal posts are interesting, and make me think.
I love the swimming hole and his brother story. Was lindsey's family ever mentioned on angel, or is this just how you see him? (dirt poor, dead sister etc) I always find the families of the 'bad' guys interesting. Like with Lilah for instance. What made her the way she is? Does she have family that are bad? Or is she alone?
I'd love to see you explore Lindsey's family more. Would he be like the big brother to his siblings? (when they were alive) Does he have any living siblings, and does he help his family out with money? Or has he cut off all ties, whether from fear of W&H finding them, or just because.
Teh questions thing is a wnderful idea. It can help give some background on a character, or help with fic ideas even. And like yousaid, it could be tough depending on which character is doing them - why on earth would Lindsey voluntarily subject himself to this? Would any of them give honest answers? Or just tell the questioneer what htey thought they wanted to hear?
Perhaps writing these questions into a series of fics about Lindsey, where you CAN explore the background, and go more into detail about him would be good (well, for us anyway!! that way we get to read more of your writing..hehe) Lindsey could be thinking of the incident with his brother, but simpley answering 'yeah' to the swimming question.
