I can't believe you cared enough to spend the time and create a graphic for this. At least for us commenters it only takes seconds to type.

N!S2: But you clearly care about other people's opinions on other peoples opinions, or you wouldn't have posted this secret...

Re: NS2

[aethre.livejournal.com]

Not only that, but they have an opinion about other people's opinions on another person's opinion!

Okay, so that's pretty much exactly what you said, but I wanted an excuse to expand the opinion chain.

Re: NS2

[hellzabeth.livejournal.com]

But now you have an opinion on my opinion of their having an opinion on someone's else's opinion of someone else's opinion!

OPINIONS WITHIN OPINIONS WITHIN OPINIONS IS TOO UNSTABLE WARRGARRBBALLL

N!S 1

[kelincihutan.livejournal.com]

1) Characterization might be somewhat flexible, but it is not something you can just make up as you go along. Characters have limits. OOC exists.

2) Don't like, don't read is not a rule. It is an excuse. If somebody puts something out for public consumption (like, frex, a fanfic), then negative reactions are one possible result they ought to be prepared for. Cowboy up.

3) What the heck does "Fine, whatever, a lot of the time a character's well..." mean? A character's well what? Dries up during drought season? And what does this character's well have to do with anything, except for drinking water?

Re: N!S 1

[yamikaosu.livejournal.com]

Yes and yes. Especially re: 2. Don't like, don't read can work for specific things (like if you don't care for specific types of stories, certain kinks, etc., because that's your own bias), but reviewers shouldn't have to keep a lid on characterization criticism. Now granted, how and to what extent they show it is a different matter completely. I can't say I'd agree with "THIS IS HOW THIS CHARACTER SHOULD ACT AND MY INTERPRETATION IS THE RIGHT ONE." Because then things are just getting kind of ridiculous.

Also, I think they meant it to be read as "a character's characterization," just with a pause, since...character and characterization.

Re: N!S 1

[kaasen.livejournal.com]

I especially agree with your first point. I think fandom should allow some differences in character interpretation, but OOC means you did something wrong. The line is pretty fuzzy, but when your character is decidedly not the same as the one in canon, that's when it's OOC, and readers complaining about OOCness is never a compliment.

Re: N!S 1

[mistaria.livejournal.com]

I agree with your points but I can understand if OP is tired of this person constantly being negative. Of course, posting a secret here about it isn't going to do anything.

Also, it is possible for someone to take accusations of OOC too far (mostly in relation to "OMG character a would NEVER do x, y, z or be friends with character b or c").

The well of the thing that makes them who they are! The essence of the being! The lifeforce well that gives to it the meaning!

"I bet you think that Grover does not know what that letter is!"

"Well, Grover, do you?"

"It is very pretty. It starts out with one line at the bottom and then splits into two lines at the top."

"That's what it looks like, but what is this letter called?"

"I don't know. Please tell me?"

....

"Grover, this is the letter that you hear at the beginning of words like yellow, yarn, year and yo-yo."

...ok, now I'm scared that I remember this much....

[apricot-smudge.livejournal.com]

Don't let this ruin what we had!
