zosimosDay 3: For each of the fandoms from Day Two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Jeeeeez epic long question prompt is epic and long. I'll trim the list down to current writing fandoms, just because.
Fullmetal Alchemist: This is an easy one; Edward is my favorite to write. He's one of my dedicated muses, he's chewed out enough space in my brain that it will be a decade before I can reclaim it - and given he's settled in for the long haul, it could be longer than that. I find him fascinating and, strangely, a kindred spirit in both good qualities and bad. It's easy to find myself in him and makes it easier for me to write him. I can't usually write a character unless I can really get inside their heads - and for a long time I wouldn't write FMA fanfic because the only person I could "get" was Edward, and I stuck to RPing. But suddenly I can get into Roy Mustang's headspace too - because his personality and attitude is the adult version of Edward.
Supernatural: Really, I don't have a favorite. I have this little secret that Dean and Sam to me are just Ed and Al in vastly different circumstances - and the few Supernatural fanfics I have written occasionally have little knowing typos if I use the wrong name. (Scarily enough, my Supernatural fanfics tend to get reviews from the non-anime watching side of fandom. I kind of want to introduce these people to FMA.)
Rurouni Kenshin: Kenshin, obviously - although it's been a long, long time since I've written a proper samurai fic (FMA AUs nonwithstanding), my Kenshins are either bootleg in nature, or part of a larger AU narrative. (See: shinigami!Kenshin in a random Bleach fic, mashup!Kenshin who exists in the SPN mashup world.)
