Hello fellow readers and writers. Though my fanfiction here is of course based on Days of Our Lives, I do, from time to time, create my own characters, or expand on characters that had minimal screentime on the real show. In this thread, I will keep an (alphabetical) list of new or greatly expanded characters that have appeared in my current ongoing story arc, which began in Fighting for Love, continued in Loves Labours, and is going on right now in The Melaswen Paradox, and will be for the foreseeable future. If a new character appears, I will add them to the list.
