30 Days of Fanfiction: Days 4, 5, 6 and 7
Oct. 27th, 2015 06:21 pm4: Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?
Not really. Phreia is my actual Muse, and she would get upset if she thought she was being supplanted.
Possibly Dr Watson in my ACD Holmes stories, since I write them in the first person. I certainly find it hard writing "proper" ACD Holmes in any other voice.
And Mouselet pushes her nose in every time there's a sniff of Inspector Hopkins, but I hardly think that counts.
5: If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?
If they're that determined to appear who am I to argue with them? And because of the way I write they may turn up and join in, but are unlikely to be pushing their way in - if they weren't there at that point they weren't needed.
6: When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
There are considerably more male characters in my fandoms, so I tend to go with them. And by preference I write slash pairings, so, you know, male characters it is.
7: Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
In that I may write a fic to explore an aspect of a character, it's possible. But generally that's because I'm not satisfied with the way the character's been shown in the first place, so it's more like expanding my opinion.
