Fleshing Out Characters - Comments

In all honesty, I don't find self-insertion to be a bad thing. I think it just takes moderation.

Whenever I write a self-insertion, I don't really do that much improvement--in fact, the character is usually more messed up than I am... And about as opposite of Mary Sue as you can get. Breakdowns, emotionaly unstable, or just plain psychotic.

I think it makes it a little more fun. :)

This is probably the best thing I've ever read. I want to print this out and pass it out to every writer I know.

Thank goodness this finally exists on the Internet.

Very, very helpful. I often find myself creating characters with no idea what to do with them later on in the story. Thank you!

Thisis a really helpful tutorial. I must admit that the last one ('There Not You') is something I have fallen into the trap of doing a few times but when I recently broke away from that I got the best response I have ever gotten for a story and I truly think that is part of the reason! A believalbe non-MarySue lead character!

Wow, that was really awesome. Keep on writing tutorials, please! Mibba writers need to know these helpful tips! I swear this is going to help me so much when I start a new story. :)
