This is interesting to me. As someone who's been writing fanfic since before I knew it was a thing (since before I was even on the internet), I have found myself in the unique situation that whenever I start to write about a character I hate from canon, I slowly grow to love them.

My most popular story ever (which I kind of hate now, lol, it had sooo much angst), was this love triangle between the two male leads of a show I liked, with the villain of the triangle being a female love interest of male character #1 (she was a love interest of that character for a couple seasons on the show too). I haaaated her from the show, but as soon as I started writing her, it was like I started to understand her and her motivation. I slowly grew to love her so much. I even ended up writing a short spin-off just about her and her life and why she was how she was, and why she loved this man, and my readers fricking hated it. They were all like: how dare you write a story only about her, yuck. (She's pretty well loathed in the fandom, by all the normie fans too).

TL;DR, I don't even know how ff authors can even hate characters they write. When I start writing a character, I fall in love with them. Even my villains I love to pieces (even when I hate their actions)!
