superhero_muses--Which character in your current WiP is hardest to write?
Oh, easy question this week: definitely Sami Zayn, who I never had great amounts of confidence writing anyway, and since he's shifted moral alignment I just... can't, really. I have no real idea why he's doing anything he's doing (or even WHAT he's doing, like there's a scene where he might have tried to trick and betray his friend, but there's no definite answer and they never address it again, so what the hell am I supposed to do with that?) So everything feels OOC and it's really frustrating. THUS THE SLOW WRITING. But I did get a few hundred words written this week, and there's hope for more this weekend! How about you, who's giving you fits at the moment?

If I had a full set of icons, there would be a Batman/Robin icon with this post. :)
I'm sorry to hear that canon is tripping you up, Mithen. But fanfic is for fix-its, so maybe you can work something out? Read the tea leaves and see what interpretation you can come up with! :)

This has been a way to get pleasure from it all! We continue along with his character still not at all what I want, but I'm always hoping there's a light at the end of the tunnel...
