Fanfic, for me, is all about getting the characters right. I’ll state the obvious - that this is completely subjective - just to be safe. If I’m reading something and I can’t picture the character on screen doing what it is I’m reading about, I usually can’t keep on. In fact, this is why – with only a single exception so far – I don’t even attempt to write fic; it is much too difficult.
