Awww, InkMistress you just gave me warm fuzzies. (Cuddles Hiei teddy bear, then quickly throws away)
Ahem.
Well, I suspended because as Miss Ayana put it, I had an A.P.A. or an Author.Panic.Attack. I freaked out thinking how I was going to make the HieixSachiko relationship even work. How it was going to be long term. How Hiei could even PUT UP with her.
But Miss Ayana wound me down. CALMED me down. And talked me through it. She convinced me the pairing was good because it HAD its imperfections and to look at KeikoxYusuke if I thought otherwise.
So I took a few deep breaths and started writing again. : )
Awww...I just can't believe you said that. You LIKE hearing my epiphanies. I was convinced people were sick of my rants by now. Lol. Awww! (Hugs Hiei teddy bear again, then tosses away...again)
Have fun with the characters, but also realizes that EVERYTHING has flaws, and that's what makes it beautiful. It's a lesson I needed to learn, and I learned it by tearing myself apart.
No joke. I cried that night during my A.P.A. I punched my Hiei teddy bear to no end, than hugged him and told him that he had known. That he had known the entire time it wouldn't have worked out. But its something every author needs to learn, and its evident Sue-writers haven't even come close to learning it yet. : /

I think we all have those moments. I remember once, a bit after I'd finished my first full-length fanfiction (still the longest thing I've ever written) and I realized that my beloved OC was a TOTAL MARY-SUE. I broke down.
I couldn't write, couldn't even think about the series. The whole thing lost meaning for me. Eventually I decided that I just had to learn from it. Since then I've tried especially hard to keep my OCs from being Sues. Mainly by researching and coming up with my own theories on how Sues can develop. ^^
Even now I doubt myself, asking whether I've written something realistic or something poopy. Asking if I've made Kurama too martyr-like, Hiei too stoic, Kuwabara too brash. I don't think it ever really ends. Maybe it's not supposed to.
