6. Love and Relationships. There are plenty of single,

pair up your creation with one.

   If you choose to do so, do it over time. Large amounts of
time. If Nabiki is glomping your character by the third or
fourth episode, you're doing something wrong.

   Why? Because relationships between a cast member and a
new character are a source of scrutiny by the readers, who
will be waiting to pin the dreaded twin flags of wish-
fulfillment and OOC. The way you avoid this is by making the
relationship as realistic as possible, something that is
unsought for; which begins as friendship and slowly blossoms.
And we do mean _slowly_.

I take it you have read any of Donny's stuff Life and Times in
particular
