Characterisation

[lady_windermere]

Was having a chat about characterisation last night to a couple of people, and realised that I don't always use my own idea's on characterisation when writing. In some areas I am quite willing to allow a lot of OOC when I am reading as well. Especially with Angelus and William.

I write Daddy!Kink, and Baby Boy because my friends enjoy it, and use what I consider to be the fandom characterisation for that kink. So even if my Angelus and William the Bloody do not really fit into that, I will quite happily write it anyway, using the general characterisation.

I wondered if anyone else felt the same?

I am a purest when it comes to gen fic, which I think should explore the character in a curcumstance new to them. With Ships I have a bit more leeway, especially when they are ships that bring in unusual pairings not touched on in canon.

Then when I do look for canon, I have very strong views, which, if I kept to for all fanfic, would end up with me reading nothing!
