Fandom History & Inspiration Meme - Day 7
Jul. 7th, 2011 09:13 amDay 7 – Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
Well. This is sort of a tough question for me, because I don't tend to read fic about characters I don't care for (or about, period). So I can't really say that I've ever read or written a story that makes me go from disliking a character to totally and completely loving him/her/it...but I have read stories that made me go from "meh" to "ultra cool!" For example...

landofthekwt writes an amazing SessMom, and I also really like his take on Kikyo. The little giftfic he wrote for me back in the day is still one of my very favorite Kikyo-centric stories, and his collection of SessMom stories for knittingknots are close seconds =)
I wasn't all that keen on Naraku until I readpaynesgrey's The Unicorn and the Spider, but now I really like the idea of pairing him with Kikyo, even if it's not something I'd write myself. These two have a great love/hate/mindfuck relationship, and nobody writes them better, IMO.
Speaking of IY pairings I'm not all that big on, readinglangus_fiction's Love's Smirking Revenge has made me come around to the idea of Sess/Rin. Granted, this *is* an AU, but still ~ I've never willingly read the pairing before. We've all got to start somewhere, right? LOL.
Beyond Inuyasha, I'm still exploring a bit :) I absolutely loveozqueen's parent!fic in the BSC fandom, especially her Richard/Elizabeth series. It's pretty much canon for me now, and nearly impossible to consider these characters romantically linked. I definitely like Richard Spier much more after reading her take on him!
And I'd be remiss not to mention the power ofpsyco_chick32's Bitter, which she writes with such zeal and passion that she makes me care about characters from a show I hated when I was a kid. And really, I guess that is the clincher for me ~ if you write enthusiastically about your character or pairing, chances are people who happen upon it will enjoy it, simply because you like it so much. Your own joy in the canon will shine through and attract others, even us skeptics, LOL :)
( Other days )
