1. Why I only read WIPs by author's I trust or know well enough to poke

2. They have manuals. Online even. Some read better than smut. With pictures. For research of course.

3. Even OOCness can have a reason ... and a compelling one.

4. Especially not for characters who spend most of their time trying to live

5. Money does not equal artistocracy :-) Its much more than that (Read a biography of Rose Kennedy. Mean spirited at times but polite to a fault)

6. Yep ...

The actor who plays Lucius on the other hand ... catch him on season 5 I think it was of the West Wing (a reporter who meets Donna in Gaza). Out of the scary character and wig .... yummmmmmmmmmmm
