writethisfanficToday is going to be filled with phone calls and service appointments. I hope to write in between. At least I'm awake.
Today's discussion question: We all have our preferred fandoms and our preferred characters. We also all have fandoms and characters we can't face. Do you have fandoms that you'd like to write but can't? Are there characters you don't feel you can write?
I'd like to write more for long TV shows. I just find the size of the canon overwhelming. There's so much to track, and reviewing it all to take notes requires so much time (that or a really good index). Unless there's a wiki, I'm mostly too intimidated even to try.
As to characters, there's one from the fandom I write most often that I simply don't get. I know his canon, but I don't really understand it in the way I'd need to to write him. I like to think I can handle a challenge, but in the decade or so I've been writing this fandom, I haven't dared to write about him.
