I’m working on the character list for both the website and the book itself. My own personal character list is organized by location and association (that is, all the Duke’s Company names together, all the Tsaian nobility together, all the Girdish Marshals/paladins/etc. together.)
But it’s readers who will use this for something other than trying to ensure I don’t have fifteen names that all look and sound very similar in the same scene…which is what I use it for. My editor will rule on what appears in the book(s) but tell me your preferences for character name lists ( questions follow.)
