In chapter twenty-three of Devil’s Bargain, the MCs Seth and Kevin have to attend a masquerade party dressed in costumes. They are escorted to a room filled with hundreds to choose from.
I knew I could have them dress as anything. That’s a bit of pressure to choose something in character for them that would be appropriate to the plot of the novel without being too spot on. I wanted to have them dress as two characters that go together. In the narrative, I have them talk about Kirk and Spock from Star Trek as a possible costume. This would have been a nice choice given the number of slash fanfictions that have existed since long before the internet about these two.
