Re: Creator's Attitudes Toward Their Creations

[sarillia]

That's pretty much how I go about it too. They start out completely in my control but then as I'm writing I start to understand them better and certain plot points and bits of characterization I had planned because pretty much impossible because I realize it would be out of character. But some people act like I'm trying to fulfill some kind of quota just because I consciously say at the beginning "let's make her bisexual" along with a bunch of other starting points, and they act like my writing will automatically be stale and preachy because of that.

That sounds about right.

I don't see any issue with that. I only start to suspect that the person is being preachy when they make their whole identity about it not just going "I want my character to be this" . I know that I have made quite a few characters on the autistic spectrum because I wanted to write diverse autistic characters. I also remember that when I started planning the main cast -seven kids- for my wizard school , the first thing I thought was "there's no reason all seven of these kids need to be white". But knowing that was only a starting point for their entire character.

certain plot points and bits of characterization I had planned because pretty much impossible because I realize it would be out of character.

I remember for my first developed work , I originally planned what would happen in the whole series, but recently I ended up having to redo it all because after character growth half of it was either OOC or ideas that, while being appealing to a more immature me , now seemed really dumb. Or sometimes I had unwittingly used really unappealing tropes that I didn't want to invoke. (I know their was one minor character whose conflict at one point with friends of his came off really Nice Guy-ish. I zapped that right away, and as of recently since I changed his orientation (for other reasons) , he wouldn't even be attracted to that character at all anymore)

For me, half the fun is developing all the characters, so having characters come to me full formed, it would kind of bore me.
