Character height meme!

Because it's more fun to line everyone up next to each other than to run off a lot of numbers. :D

Here's how this'll work (once I get the threads up in here).

You'll see a number of top-level comments under this post. Each thread thus started, except the first and last (reserved for extremely small or extremely tall characters), will cover a foot in height; that is, for example, those who are anywhere from 5' even to just-barely-under-6' (but not 6' yet) will post in the five-to-almost-six-foot thread, with their height (say 5'7") in the subject line. You don't have to wait for a 5'1" person to post first; it's okay if a 5'9" person comments chronologically before a 5'-even person, as long as it's to the 5' thread.

Now here's where the fun begins. If someone who has already commented is exactly your character's height (in one-inch increments), reply to that comment instead of to the top-level comment. So if Flynn, at 6'1", comments to the six-foot thread, then Tron, at 6'2", will also comment to the six-foot thread instead of replying to Flynn; but all subsequent Trons, Alans, and Rinzlers except the tiny ones<3 will reply to the 6'2" thread that Tron started.

That'll put everyone of the same height in the same thread, and leave us with a handy visual aid for those of us like me who don't think in numbers.

Have fun! ^^
