Seen on quixotic_sense and wordsofastory:

1. Comment to this post with the name of a character that I have written in fic

2. I will comment telling you the following:
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future (which may be more optimistic than realistic, but rousing old muses does sometimes gets work written).

Was also tagged for 7 Songs by starlighter but I'll do that one tomorrow. *g*

Gin :D

[petronia.livejournal.com]

a) It wasn't so much that I liked him as found him mysterious, and the Gin/Rangiku stories I encountered didn't match what I thought might have happened or what their relationship was. So it was just to extrapolate a version of events that made sense to me, even if I'm sure canon will be something else altogether. XD Also, the GinRan story was a fic request.

b) Is it possible to say of Gin that he has a good trait? XD It's like the reverse of Larsa, above. What I like about him is that he's basically dark!fanon!AU!Fuji out of Tenipuri, only not fanon and not AU. Also, I like the fact that he's really difficult to damage. It means I can do things with him that I'd feel queasy doing with other characters, like that Aizen/Gin shortfic. But these are traits that make him fun to write, not traits that make him a better person. XD

c) The cruelty. I mind this less in fiction but actually, in real life I detest people who play pranks or engage in mind games or poke at people for fun just to see how they react.

d) The Gin/Ran story was extremely difficult, but it wasn't because of Gin so much as because it wasn't an easy story to tell. The Aizen/Gin fic was stress relief =_= (I was studying for a standardized exam).

e) When he grabs Aizen's ankle in "An Open-Ended Experiment" - that to me is the most "Gin-rashii" moment I've written.

f) I've been trying off and on to write the continuation to this universe but it won't come together. (Again from Matsumoto's POV; people never ask about my POV characters, only the others. XD)
