(carefully not assuming that you're talking about me)

I will just point out that there's a difference between disliking a character and finding them hard to write. I, for example, am a B/S author who occasionally writes Angel. I don't dislike Angel. I won't pretend that I love him as much as I love some other characters, but I don't dislike him. I do find him very difficult to write, and I'm painfully aware that I don't always hit the bullseye when writing him--believe me, people have pointed out various flaws in my depiction of him a number of times, and very often I agree with them.

I find other characters difficult to write, too (Anya eludes me entirely) but they tend to have less impact on the story so people don't notice as much.
