snowynight5 –If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?
It happens to me when I'm writing my fantasy AU aka scifibigbang first draft, where Wolverine and Bruce take over the plot and I let them. I give them a chance to shine, but I give up at last. Lesson: Letting characters taking over plot, especially those you're not partial to is bad.
6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters? No preference.
7 – Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character? No, unfortunately. I usually have a set idea when I'm writing them.
8 – Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not black hole, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs. Of course I write OC. How come I don't use them when I am writing stories that the characters exist in a world? I even write a story that an OC is the protagonist. My rule is just that every named characters gets to be awesome or contributes to the story.
