Re: The appeal of Dark!Character fic
I think to me it's about character exploration and character dynamics. Really with any AU, the fun part is still being able to tell those characters are themselves despite differences. With dark!fic it's fun to deconstruct, particularly when the character is normally heroic. Taking them apart, seeing what would remain true to their canon selves, and putting them back together slightly twisted.
Sometimes I do it to more than one--for example, if the one you twist originally has a lot of influence on other characters in canon, that can ripple outwards.
The other thing is, the fact that I usually write heroic characters who may be kind of fucked up but at least try to do the right thing makes it so much fun when they are deliberately out for selfish ends instead of their canon selfless ones.
