11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite?

Well, I don't have any characters I dislike writing-- partly because I write for fun and if I don't want to write someone I usually won't, but also because I'm well aware of the fact that if I hate writing it, other people will probably hate reading it. But I do like writing some people more than others, so. Cadence is definitely one of my favorites-- she's just really fascinating for me, and I feel like her voice comes very naturally. On a slightly less serious note, ~Tanya and Elisabeth~ and their sexy sexy flirting never fail to amuse me. I TEND TO PUT THEM IN A SCENE WHENEVER I GET BORED. Also Juliet because you know. Juliet. <3

I have some difficulty with Lydia, because I feel like I tend to not make her as crazy as she should be-- I've been focusing more on the violent-tsundere aspect of her personality than the Luna Lovegood part. I also have issues with Tomiko and Peter because neither of them really share as much about themselves as I would like, and I am still trying to get Nathaniel right.

FANFIC-WISE. Uh, the Marauders. Remus especially--he's the one I've had the most practice with-- but I love writing all of them. Franziska, of course. I will say that when I first started RPing, I was incredibly surprised by how well Franziska just clicked with me, almost instantly. Actually, most of the PW cast, particularly as a group-- Maya and Mia/Diego, in our happy funtiems AU where Mia and Diego are together forever shut up, are particularly fun, but I still do love Phoenix and Gumshoe and Miles and, hell, everyone. As difficult as he is, I also love love LOVE to write Kyoya. LOVE. And pretty much the whole club. And the entire Firefly cast. AND ROBIN even though Robin is not my favorite TT character by a long shot, he's really really fascinating to write, and he's especially fascinating in high school AU mode. I also have an alarming amount of fun with scary villains, that's probably not a good thing. XD BELLATRIX AND GREYBACK AND DRUSILLA AND THEM I think it's because I like to be mean to my favorite characters but you know.
I guess what I really enjoy is writing interactions between characters, as opposed to just writing characters-- I mean, I can totally write a fic about one person and love it, but it's when I have a relationship or a group dynamic that I really really adore that writing tends to get the easiest, and the most fun.
Least favorite characters to write? Uh. Well, I'd say characters that I don't like or that are boring, but... I don't really write anything about characters I don't like or that are boring, I DON'T LIKE THEM AND THEY'RE BORING. There are some characters where it's kiiiind of tricky to get their voice right, but I like them enough to manage-- OH YOU KNOW WHO *IS* REALLY HARD TO WRITE THOUGH
KID
AS I HAVE LEARNED
I mean, it's pretty easy to say "okay so here's Kid RAWR SYMMETRY RAWR OCD BLAAAAAAAAGH" but getting his voice and his thought patterns when he's not in symmetry-spasm mode is. Really surprisingly difficult.

In other news, I am nearing the end of Case 5 of AAI and OH MY GOD DETECTIVE BADD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. <3 He is just. Such a badass, it's fantastic. And I'm pretty sure I haven't fallen in love with a PW character this fast since Jake, wow. Also, Lang. LAAAAAAANG. I was kind of iffy about him, but he's just... so fascinating. I think I might be a little bit in love.
I WILL DO A MAJOR THOUGHT-GATHERY POST WHEN I FINISH THIS FOR SURE
