Heh. Wilt's sneaky sarcasm makes me smile...

...and so does the name "Ditchy McAbandonpants". :D (I know he's serious about the whole abandonment thing, but that name he called Mac was just downright funny)

After Mr. Herriman told him that even less of him would be seen if he stood(Wilt was obviously thinking of SITTING in the chair)in a chair, Wilt just sighs and turns away, saying something like, "Oh, yeah...I guess you're right", but you can catch that "what an IDIOT!" tone in his voice as he says it, and he just knows, probably from past experience, that there's no point in trying to argue with Mr. H or change his mind about anything.

So that's why Wilt pushed Mr. Herriman down the stairs.

Speaking of Foster's episodes, I've noticed that other than some recent episodes (such as room witha feud and other's that I haven't seen yet because they haven't been aired in the uk) Wilt hasn't been used that much as a character. Sure he is used and he did have an episode focused on him but that one only lasted eleven minutes (maybe even less). Meanwhile Eduardo has starred in three episodes that last for 30 minutes and Coco tenchinaclly did as well in "My So called Wife". Why is it that they have been used more and also, I think that one of the reasons the producers are making GWH one hour long is because they noticed that they never really used Wilt that much. I'm glad they are actually because Wilt IS a great character and he deserves to be the star for more than eleven minutes/maybe even less. Of course I could be wrong and I just haven't been looking hard enough for his appearences. What do you all think?

Wilt gets a movie the Nov. in the U.S. That's worth 3 episodes IMO.

...BWAHAHAHAHA! If that is so, why does he say "sorry" over and over again?

Nothing to do with what you guys are talking about but I just saw this on tv tonight:

In 1983 Australia, Jack Newton was one of the best golfer's Australia had. But he made the mistake of walking out onto the tarmac of an airport and got struck by the propeller of a plane.

He lost his right arm, and his right eye.

When I heard that you know who popped into my mind right away, and I just wanted to tell you guys who always wondered how someone could loose an arm and eye, and remain scarred in the afters.

Propeller.

I'm not saying that's what happened to Wilt no, but that's an actual fact of how someone lost their eye and arm.

Great. Another idea. XD

Okay it's a bit late but:

Most Wilt-based fanfics DO feature a Mary Sue, who is almost always a really cool Imaginary Friends, who falls in love with the Tall Red One immediately after arriving at Foster's, and she is always really nice. Most of the time, she's also harrassed and made fun of by one of the other female Imaginary Friends, who are jealous that THEY don't get to be all snuggly-wuggly with the Wilt-Man. It's tough, I'll admit, to create an OC that isn't at least a bit "Mary Sueish", or in the case of male fanfic writers, "Gary Stueish".

Oh poopie. I now feel as though I need to go shoot my own OC from my story 'Crooked Smile' (used to be Life Of a Broke Imaginary Friend but I changed the name because the original title was a bit dodgie). I have no idea whether my OC is Mary Sueish or not, but I can't help but think that she is :-[ .

Actually, your OC, "ZigZag", is one of the best out there. I don't know you, so I can't say if you've got this Cockney accent or act really "street tough" or not, but she reminds me of "Eliza Doolittle" in My Fair Lady. She's almost a polar opposite of Wilt, which is why they have such good chemistry together. She's also far from "Miss Perfect"-she's got a hair-trigger temper and knows how to use it, unlike the helpless, sweetly-innocent OC "Mary Sues" in many stories. I think you're doing fine in how you are developing their relationship, too, by having them start out as friends, who don't always see eye-to-eye(no pun intended), rather than rush into the romance head-long, as most fanfic writers do. Most have Wilt and their OC fall head-over-heels for each other the first time they meet, but honestly, very few relationships start that way, and those that do, don't last very long. There's got to be something besides phyical attraction in a relationship, otherwise once that inevitably cools down, there's nothing left to hold it together.

My OC isn't even supposed to start a relationship like that with Wilt at all. XD

In fact, in the end, everyone learns she's not imaginary nor human nor alien, but a Froman (I made that spieces up) and she lives happily in her homeland.

Reason for this is because I redid [Yo-yo] and now she's Lynn, a Froman experiment-gone-wrong (but not on purpose) who excaped from the science lab, hopefully forever.

In other words, Twins is canceled, Yo-yo is now Lynn, and Lynn's fanfiction is still in the "pre-wrting" stage. I am not sure when it'll be released to Fanfiction dot net. XD

Sorry that this is off topic, but I just wanted to clearify that.
