I actually have this list of All The Things I Don't Owe Fandom, and most have parenthetical stipulations to the effect of: "unless I promised you otherwise."
Here is the sad story on the cookies: I made them for you and two other people to whom I promised them a month ago. And they are still sitting in my freezer. WTF, self, WTF.
I mean, gosh do I love the character of Jim Profit. [...] I wouldn't like that guy in person.
Well, I think with some characters, it's pretty easy. Some you love as characters, hate as people, that's it. But then there are some you *care* about as people, even when they are people you would not like, which seems like *more* than just caring about them as a character.
Lots and lots of ideas and little shape.
It drives me nuts. In myself, I mean.
My fic, what there was of it, was character essay in disguise as narrative.
I like that, though. Which reminds me, I owe you more than cookies. The thing is, sometimes I *do* get plot ideas, and can do very plotty things, but the point isn't the plot. What I hate is when I get the point without the plot though. That sucks.
