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 expect vampires to have a demon, and therefore to behave differently from a human. If it is Angelus or William the Bloody, I expect them to feed and be evil.

I agree with you on that, totally. And by extension of canon storylines, I'd have to include both Lindsey and Riley as behaving differently.

I do judge vampires differently from humans. What I can tolerate a vampire doing, or happening to a vampire, I cannot with a human.


While I fully believe Xander, Riley, Lindsey, Gunn and Wesley capable of many brutal things (as indeed, they all were within canon), there are some things they would not do...ever. But that's just my opinion.
