I'd have to say Sherlock Holmes and Watson, the latter a perfect foil for his driven, frenetically brilliant friend. As Sherlock himself said, once his methods are explained, they seem hardly astonishing. If Holmes had no Watson, forcing him to explain his own methods, readers would be less awed. We get to be Watson, observe through his eyes, and be appropriately astonished.

As a fiction writer, I love to create new worlds and populate them with people of my imagining. I enjoy the process of writing; I find writing them even more exciting than reading them.
