<<For example, it's okay to "identify the
novel from characters" but not necessarily okay to ask
"given the description, identify the character from
Oliver Twist".>>
Eh? I was unaware that
this practise was frowned upon. I think I've written
some tossups about literary characters and have
written a bonus or two about characters from various
novels (I recall writing one about Gone With the Wind
characters, to be precise.)
