The really, really, really good ideas that people have are the ones where you slap your forehead and say 'golly, I can't believe nobody thought of doing this before'.
A textbook example of this is what I thought of in the very small hours of this morning, when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Are you ready for it?
Jane. Eyre. Trading. Cards.
I know. The young people are going to go crazy over these little babies. Let the fun begin--
'John Reed was a schoolboy of fourteen years old; four years older than I, for I was but ten: large and stout for his age, with a dingy and unwholesome skin; thick lineaments in a spacious visage, heavy limbs and large extremities. He gorged himself habitually at table, which made him bilious, and gave him a dim and bleared eye and flabby cheeks.'

Bilious is such a good word.
Also: all your comments seem to have been eaten.
And now the comments are back... Weird.
And that is such an excellent capture of John Reed that I want to punch him in the face. Is that good?
I love it! Can you do Jane?
I think you need to give them some stats, so that we can play Top Trumps with them.
Amy- yeah billious sounds kinda gross to me. Like a blister. And yes, he oughta be punchable.
Helen- Thanks. Yep, Jane will be up shortly.
Stuart- Yes, I was thinking about stats on the train last night. Will consider. I too would like to see some epic battles.
Best. Idea. Ever.
Thanks Joanna!

I'd totally get them, even though cards normally have me scream and run in the other direction!
