a. The first time I was exposed to due South, I admit to not having paid that much attention to either Ray. On the strength of three episodes, I was All About Fraser.

I think the point when my heart expanded to include Vecchio was They Eat Horses, Don't They?, the first time he climbed into a dumpster for Fraser *g*.

b. His loyalty - Vecchio is they kind of guy who would not just carry his best friend through the woods, but give him all the water while he was doing it.

c. His need for praise and external affirmation is the personality trait that does him the most harm, I think, even more than his stubbornness and his temper. Personally, I blame his dad. *hates Ray's dad*

d. Much, much easier than Fraser *g*. I imagine I'll be able to get into Fraser's POV with time and practice, but Vecchio's is easier than falling off a log. Ray and I, we have a rapport.

e. Hmmmm. So far, I nominate In Progress.

f. Wild elk would not keep me from writing due South at the moment!

I'm totally with you on b and c, and the dumpster. *g* "In Progress" was excellent, but I'm also partial to the one where Ray thinks that he's going to have to give Dief ten bucks and send him to the movies. Heh. That still makes me grin. Yay for f!
