6. I think that Haku's just awesome whether or not he's actually a girl. But I don't really get what this secret is saying. Because he's feminine looking, he ought to be female? Why is his gender so important to you?

22. Making OCs and making them believable, interesting people is always my favorite part of writing any long fic. They always start out total Mary-Sues in my head, and trimming them down to size is fun. I love when people say that they like my OCs. Hating all OCs on general principle sounds like an extreme over-reaction to the Mary-Sue phenomenon. A really good OC can make a story work, IMHO.

27. Now, I read that book and thought "What is it about books with morally bankrupt and generally unlikable characters that makes them classics?" I hated the book.

... But Jordan totally wanted Daisy. I mean, goddamn.

Totally unrelated, but thanks to a recent Disney short binge and falling in love with Oban Star-Racers, skimming past your comment made me crack up.

I agree with what you're saying, now that I've read all of it, though.

God, I feel the same way. I'm co-writing a couple of stories with a friend, and we cannot start writing the scene unless we know exactly what's going to happen in it, and how, and at what points, and all that's up in the air is precisely how it's worded. You're not crazy, you're just more of a writer than an RPer. You know how you want things to go and get annoyed when they don't go that way.

I don't dislike OCs because of Mary Sues. I don't like them because I am reading fanfic to read about the characters I love. It I wanted OCs, I'd read original fiction.
