Pick a character and I will give and explain the top five ideas/concepts/etc I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to accurately depicting them. Any and all characters are welcome (including ones I haven't written but the answers will probably be less than satisfactory :P)

Rules for writing John Smith!Ten

[sapphire_child]

Rule # 1 First and foremost, he is a gentleman. And not just in manner and dress, he really is a gentle, loving man and he adores Rose - though he’s not entirely sure how this love between them came about exactly, nor why she seems to be terrified of him when really, he’s a very lovely man! It is also implied that he is an amazingly tender lover who always treats his wife with the utmost respect in bed and would probably baulk at the idea of her even giving him a BJ, precious, old fashioned thing that he is.

Rule # 2 There are elements of Ten that must peek through from time to time. In the way he speaks and the words he chooses, his quiet aversion to guns, his need to be in close physical proximity to Rose...it’s getting the balance right between the two characters so that he seems like a totally different man - until he suddenly lapses into a Doctorish babble and you have to do a double take and go “whoa...was that John or Ten?!”

Rule # 3 John can read Rose’s emotions as easily as a book and he will not pretend that he isn’t

I did grow quite fond of John Smith. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next. *HINT HINT* LOL.

Me too :( I'm sad that I won't be able to write him anymore. Although, this is a Doctor Who au-verse - anything is possible really!

I am working on it lol. I promise. I need to get it right though before I post it - I don't want to disappoint anybody, least of all myself.

I know, you have to get it right -- don't worry, I'm sure it'll be brilliant. :)
