How's about an anagram game, anagram a well-known, probably main, character out of popular fiction. Not just a random jumble of letters, but create a phrase out of their name, example:
OH CHOKERS SMELL = SHERLOCK HOLMES
I'll start off with
CLEARS A THROAT
OH CHOKERS SMELL = SHERLOCK HOLMES
I'll start off with
CLEARS A THROAT

I suck at anagrams
14Carrotlady
I started this thread, I thought I was good at anagrams as I do a lot of cryptic crosswords, but I can't do this one...will give it some serious thought now, it's Friday afternoon and I can't be bothered with work!
15crazy4reading
I have trouble with cryptic puzzles. I am actually off today to recuperate from a minor procedure/surgery but I can't think of anything.
17crazy4reading
I don't want that. I will try to work on it and see if I can come up with anything...

One of the main characters in a series that had been expected and planned for centuries and at the same time comes unexpectedly.

(Glad to see you could keep this thread going. Iʻm interested in anagrams, but terrible at devising them, so it took me
a little time to put this clue together.
The character is a title character, (and is one who probably didnʻt go to many "SALEs"!).
(I discovered my clue had one letter too many; deleting one S here.}
