--Which characters in your current WiP get along worst?
Haha, oh, probably the two sets of people currently pitted against each other in gladiatorial combat. :) This kind of question is almost always hard for me because my stories tend to be extremely tightly focused on the two main leads, and secondary characters don't tend to get a lot of development, so the leads are the characters that both get along the best and the worst, often at the same time. Which is a decent supplementary question: how big do your casts tend to be in your stories?

I never quite managed it again as I did in my one Noir BB that ended up not having one of the leads for most of the story and focused on Tony and all kinds of side characters instead though. ^^
