Thirty Days of Fanfiction: Day Seven
Jul. 13th, 2011 01:12 am7 – Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
If we're talking about writing fic, I wouldn't say I've had my opinion of a character change by writing them. I have I always like a character more after writing them, simply because once I've managed to crawl inside a character's head enough to write them it's hard to not empathize with him just a bit more, even if what goes on in their head is completely cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
I've definitely had my opinion of characters change by reading fic, though. The most recent example is probably 2014!Dean, who I basically wanted to through rotten fruit at until I read some fic that put him in a more sympathetic light. I still want to grab him by his shoulders until hi brain starts working again, but at least now I can see where he's coming from.

Broke 9K! Whooooo! It finally feels like there's light at the end of this tunnel.
