2. I'm a very big believer in IC, but -- if I can speak for sane fans of IC, I don't know about your friends -- it's a flexible term. I don't think what you're talking about is the same thing as being OOC. To take Kingdom Hearts as an example: Squall in FF8 is an emo recalcitrant self-absorbed jerk. Leon of KH is a confident character, finding it difficult to express his feelings but still strong and brave and emotionally committed to his friends. But I don't think Leon is OOC compared to Squall. It's just that Leon has been through a lot more -- lived a different life and grown in a different way than what we saw of Squall. The core of this character (not forthcoming, pessimistic, stubborn) is still the same.

You can be IC, if you experiment with characters, make them push their limits. But the core of the character has to be the same. I don't want to see Squalleon suddenly start giggling over Seifer's witty jokes and cry if Seifer doesn't love him enough. I want you to show me how he got to this new interpretation of his core.

That's all I ask. :) ...she says, like that isn't 750% more work than anyone will ever do in fanfic.

19. I, for one, would love for Suki to be alive -- I love her, and I love her/Sokka. Plus I'm pretty sure she's not dead: Avatar has never, in my mind, fully killed off a character. (Jet and Yue, for various reasons, don't count.) But my secret is that I think it would be amazing if they did. I would boggle and admire them for their guts and adore Azula for her evil. It'd be awesome.

Such a good way to put it. @-@ IMO, any (non-insane) reader can tell if you have a good handle on a character, even if your interpretation is different from what theirs would be. It all comes down to the essential qualities of the character, or the building blocks, so to speak.
