Re: Okay.

[(Anonymous)]

To explore the characters and situations that you're interested in.

And I think it's a little extreme to call it "bashing" to just ignore the character. As other people have said - write what you want, write what you're interested in. This is fanfiction.

Re: Okay.

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but the anon in question specifically cited lack of screen time , not lack of interest. That doesn't make sense in a fandom context. Ignoring isn't badhing, exactly, but it's done for similar reasons - an author can't be bothered to write a proper plot that explains why a specific character isn't playing their role, so rhe author bashes, ignores or writes a convenient way out even if it doesn't really make sense.

Re: Okay.

I just don't think there's something actually wrong with a fan writer writing a plot like that. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to write a specific kind of story, you know?

Re: Okay.

/shrug People are free to write whatever they want. I don't think it's particularly good writing and I don't have a lot of confidence in a writer's ability if they decide to forgo solid plot development because it's easier and they don't feel like it's necessary.

Re: Okay.

[(Anonymous)]

Reread the comment I was replying to. That anon said they liked May, but mentioned lack of screen time as though that were some sort of obstacle to her character appearing in fanfic scenarios. I'm not saying that people have to write characters they're not interested in, I'm addressing the whole screen time issue specifically and saying THAT doesn't make sense because fandom generally has no problems writing minor characters or things that don't get much screen time. One might even argue that's one of the major points of fandom and fanfiction in particular.
