writethisfanficJust a note-- My internet has been blipping in and out. It doesn't stay out more than about ten minutes at a time, but the outages are happening frequently. I don't expect it to interfere with my posting check ins, but anything is possible. We have put in an service request because we think it's a problem with our phone line. How fast AT&T gets around to helping us, who knows.
Do you ever run into times when you know the story requires that something happen but you can't make it make sense with the characters? Which wins, the plot or the characters?
For me, the characters win every time. Keeping the characters right matters more to me than keeping the plot on track. I just have to find a new angle on the plot.
