    Default Which ELOCs do you -hate-

    ELOCs don't get much attention (except perhaps from me and CC and pannonian). Therefore, readers often feel indifferently about them. However, is there any ELOC that you just can't stand and want to strangle?

    I thought there was a list of acronyms somewhere, but I can't find it now. What's ELOC again?

    Shouldn't they be EHOC's if we hate them?

    Sure. I'm always down for a good French pronunciation!

    Lol...you beat me to the question, sniffles. I've seen this acronym floating around, but have no clue what it stands for, until now.

    So that's what it mean.

    But what does that mean?
    What is an Exposing Loveable character?
    What do they expose?

    Overlooked? To the reader or to the people in the book?

    We need examples...!!!


    Like Lu Wushuang?

    The purpose of ELOC is for us to bring to the spotlight overlooked novel characters -- characters who are not known to most wuxia fans. Examples include:

    DGSD: FAST SABRE Qi Liu, KING OF SCALY DRAGON Taoist Buping, Taoist Priest 9 Wings, NEEDLE GOD from Xiaoyao Pai, etc

    ROCH: HUMAN CHEF, Lan Tianhe, GOLDEN ARMOR LION KING Shi Shugang, Golden Wheel Monk's first disciple (who is much better than daerba), etc

    HSDS: VIGOROUS GOLD BANNER LEADER Zhuang Zheng, THICK EARTH BANNER LEADER Yan Yuan, Mulinzi, etc

    And then, there are certain quirks associated with people who aren't really ELOCs, but because they're so cool, we lump them into the ELOC category as well. Examples include BRAIN GOD Hu Fei, Zen Master Chengguan/Dengguan (there are 2 ways to pronounce his name), and HE WHO KILLS OTHERS AT SIGHT Zhong Wanchou (who transmitted voice clearly to 1 million+ miles far).
