Sally asked:
For the Avon fans - I know there's a few of us around - just what *is* it about him that you find makes him that much more interesting?
As I said earlier, he's a geek with dress sense.

I suppose Avon is the most ambiguous character (and how many Richard III fans 'go' for Avon as a preference?)

Don't know about the Ricardians, but amongst the Pratchett fans there seems to be a strong correlation between Avon admiration and Vetinari admiration, whether of the "wouldn't kick that out of bed" or more platonic types of interest. I tried this quiz this morning and got the predatory flamingo in black as my perfect Discworld date, which was no surprise at all. http://www.kew1.demon.co.uk/match/index.html

Did anyone else see the Robert Lindsay (Citizen Smith etc) version of Richard III - brilliant.

Hm, but the majority of the Richard III fans I knew when I was active (apart from a few devil's advocates) went for the complete whitewash of Richard, who turned out to be some sort of saint, and a complete New Man in sexual politics too. Whereas Avon fans tend to treasure the ambiguity.

Include me out re Avon's dress sense, but...it's been said that American politics is like American football: you have to be smart enough to understand the rules and dumb enough to think it matters. Maybe canon gives us enough information about Avon's character to be intriguing, but leaves enough gaps to launch a thousand fanfics.
