That reminds me. There. "Character sadism" added as an interest. That's my desire to see fictional characters horribly abused, if you happen to share that tendency...
On the packing front, if there's anything of mine that you've ever had an eye on, now's the time to ask. I've been packing for long enough that I'm ready to join the Socialists and give away all my obviously unnecessary possessions, which is to say all of them. (Actually, I'll move most of them to Seattle anyway, then try to give them away to people there.)
I agree - Character sadism

I like both. However, for some reason I don't enjoy it nearly as much when an average joe fictional character is horribly abused.

Innocent character, as long as it's not horrible injustice. They have to volunteer.
By the way, fellow readers, this is my absolutely bestest friend from middle school, the gold standard LMG. (No, you don't know what an LMG is, and I'm not going to tell you.)

Or do you mean when an innocent character volunteers in order to save another?
Wow, I'm a gold standard. Cool. :)
