Oooooo snap look ay you calling the people out. Number 1 makes me so sad. Also i yotally agree on the character development front. I am so tired of the stagnation.
Well, you see, I’m out of fucks and the post office is closed so I can’t pick up my new shipment.
My brother and I were talking about this stuff in the grocery store and he’s even saltier than I am. He’s great. 🙂 But yeah, so many arcs have been stalled recently (or don’t really exist) and that bothers the crap out of me.
But like, okay, it really bugs me that so many of the female characters in fic are bleh. I try to keep from doing this, too, but it does get difficult when you write m/m fic from the dude’s POV. Still, the longest thing I ever did was DCJ with past Dean/Lisa and Jimmy/Amelia and I tried to get it across that it was just that they weren’t right for each other. I just think there are ways to do ex-relationships without making it anyone’s fault and adding drama without making it someone outside the relationship’s fault.
And of course there’s such a thing as female friends. Like, Charlie is great, but there are other characters with other personalities that could play off TFW’s nicely.
