Re: rageprufrock

[(Anonymous)]

I don't necessarily think one fic for one fandom means an author's entire fic catalog is OOC. I've never considered rageprufrock one of my favorite authors, but her fic The Least Of All Possible Mistakes is one of my favorite fics in the Sherlock fandom (and I've read around 2500 fics in that fandom). I thought her characterizations in that fic where pretty awesome. She also wrote another fic with really strong characterization for the Sherlock fandom.

So maybe she's just not as good at writing in character for one fandom as she is in some others?

Or maybe it's a subjectivity issue. Perhaps if I were to read the fic you find OOC, I would find it in character. How we perceive characterization is a pretty subjective thing.

But the most likely one of all is that rageprufrock was being deliberately OOC - i.e. going with a headcanon/fanon interpretation of the characters rather than a strictly canon interpretation.

It's probably this. rageprufrock is all about the witty snark, in both narration and dialogue, and it's great to read which is why I've followed her for almost a decade now. Sherlock, afaik, has a lot of snarky bantering between the leads, so it plays well into her writer's voice. But other characters in other canons aren't like that, or at least aren't like that to the extent that they seem to be in her fics. So it becomes very obvious after awhile that this is the author talking to the reader, not the character.
