The Professor That Sets Your Flesh on Fire

Most of us have never had the luxury of having a professor that was as pleasing on the eyes as Professor Northman in college. Heck, for my first 2 years in undergrad, I was a math major and I am sorry to say that Dr. Akingbehin and Dr. Shirley just didn't get me so excited to attend class and watch them work out algorithms on the board.

Luckily there's House of Flesh on Fire's Professor Eric Northman to ponder. Similar to all the Infamous Gracious Plenty (Infamous GP) posts, I will do a rendering of the character using my Photoshop skills. On the right is my image interpretation of the Professor. At first I wanted to go all abstract and incorporate the Professor somehow with Robert Herrick, the poet who wrote the poem FDM used to name the story; but unfortunately that proved to be a bit more difficult and prolonged this post. Instead what I've come up with is a realistic image of a professor that Sookie may have come across in the English Department at her school. I used this and this as inspiration. I have no idea who those guys are but they helped me bring our Professor to life. *The photo of Alexander Skarsgard is from a GQ Man of the Year event in 2009.

Now the image is out of the way ... let's talk about him.

The Infamous Gracious Plenty

In the SVM world of fanfiction there are times we come across that one Eric that we can't forget. As a matter of fact, that character becomes so unforgettable that many of us start referring to the fic by a nickname we have given that Eric.

I like to think of those characters as part of the Infamous Gracious Plenty, or Infamous GP. Erics in that list include The Professor, The Executive, Sexpert, and even more recently, EuroEric and Pilot E. Have you heard about these guys?

Why am I writing about them, you say? Well, it's part of a new feature for my blog.  I'm going to create a space on here for each Infamous GP you want to talk about.  All you have to do is comment on this page, and talk about the Erics in fanfiction you would like to see featured.

Each post, will contain an image interpretation of that Eric, some comments about who he is and where to find him for those fans who haven't read about him. I'll, also, add some comments and even some quotes. Then you can also comment on that Eric and add some of your favorite parts.

How does that sound?  So, the first Eric up will be posted in a day or two is The Professor from the House of Flesh on Fire fame.

Let me know who you like to see next!
