130: Reasons why Mohinder is the fandom's bicycle:
1. He is pretty.
2. He has met almost all of the other characters, and if he hasn't yet, it's not that difficult to make up a way for them to meet.
3. I refer you to 1.

Really, I think it's mostly that he's pretty rather than that he's moldable.

I agree that your points are big reasons, but when people start writing him in fic based on those two things alone, at least as a result, he's molded to fit any odd fancy the author has and any random character the fic's plot needs. Even if the writer doesn't intend to come of as not caring, if he/she doesn't really care beyond those two reasons? It's pretty much the same thing.

Pfff, writing a character the way they would behave in canon takes effort, and some fanfic writers can't be bothered with that. It gets in the way of all their smutfic.

It's a case of trying to find out who the good writers are and trying to ignore the rest.

Yes because fanfic is Serious Business.

Maybe it's not Srs Bsns, but it's serious enough in my opinion that I'm not going to waste time reading a fic in which the characters are drastically OOC. Because if they're OOC, then it's not believable, and then what's the point, really?

Then don't waste your time and don't sweat it when others do. Some of us like to have fun with it. *horror*

*facepalm* That's just the point, I don't waste my time with the bad, OOC fic. I weed around through the crap and find the good stuff. And I really, really don't understand the mindset that it's apparently impossible to have fun writing fic and simultaneously make it halfway decent and keep everyone in character. I certainly have fun writing, but I do my best to keep everyone IC as well. The two are not mutually exclusive.

It's okay, step away. You're talking to the brick wall that is 98% of mylar_fic. Badfic is goodfic! War is peace! Mylar is fluff! It's their religion, you won't convince them otherwise easily.

Yes, that's exactly what I said, well done.

But... but what if I've come to the conclusion they all suck?!

... :(

*nods* Yep, that's definitely a big part of it as well.

Reasons why Mohinder is the fandom's bicycle:
1. He is pretty.

Oh yes. I firmly believe that that is one of the main reasons, if not THE main reason, that Mylar exists. "Oooh, Sylar's hot, Mohinder's hot, let's imagine them getting together and having super hawt angsty hawt violent buttsex!!1"
