You know, I got to thinking the past few days about the kind of characters I love to write most in fanfic, and I've noticed a pattern. I like writing about complete and total assholes.

No, seriously. Sarah Connor, Shannon, Dick Casablancas, Logan Echolls, Jayne Cobb, Spike (back before he got really, really tame) ... just people you wouldn't want to be trapped in a room with for ten minutes in real life. All of these people would drive me up a fucking wall, but I adore writing them. They're irritating, they can be so freaking insensitive, and they're all pretty selfish in their own ways.

*snickers* Yup, that's me. I'm TP, and I like writing about mean people hated by pretty much everyone. ;)

Hey, Ms. Zombie - have you seen this?

Just sayin.

I've often wondered what it says about me that characters like Spike, Sawyer, and Jayne resonate with me, whereas Buffy, Willow, and Jack leave me cold. However, I have to say that I'd probably be the complete opposite if I met them in real life, because I really don't like mean people. But, like you, I adore writing them. Because they're interesting.

I've had much the same experience - I usually find myself liking and writing about the assholes, the jerks, the mean-spirited, sarcastic ne'er-do-wells...

But they're just so much fun!

OH MY GOD. Mister Eko, Murphy McManus, and General Zod fighting zombies?! That right there is a thing of beauty.

Shouldn't that read

"Yup, that's me. I'm TP, and I like writing about mean people hated by pretty much everyone...and how they have freaky canon-smashing, but totally hot sex."?

:grins: I thought you might like it. I saw zombies, I thought trollprincess.

I heard a rumor (aka, read the IMDB message board) that Ana-Lucia was in it too, but I don't see any evidence of that. Dunno where they got that idea from. But still.

*snickers* Sarah Connor and Jayne Cobb needed to fuck like CRAZY. You know, since they both qualify and everything.

Although when you put it like that, now I'm looking at that list and wondering who else I can hook up. Shame on you. ;P

I'm thinking it's a bit of wishful thinking -- that you're a really nice, polite, quiet person in real life and need that little mental excursion into the world of the rude, self-centered, and pushy.
