OOC - Fanfic Meme - Day 6

6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
It’s pretty obvious that I prefer to write and RP male characters. I can write a few females, but they have to be tough bitches that will hurt you like Faith, Aeryn Sun and the Huntress.

I started RPing males in our real life game because I was bored with RPing females, and the gender of a character does have an influence on game play. But the biggest reason was because the geeky guys I RPed with couldn’t handle encounters with female NPCs. The boys would freeze up the second they had to talk to a hot chick. They could never shut off who they were in real life to become their characters, and for me that is so easy. So by default my boys would end up being the Alpha Males in the party, which you know is kind of sad since I’m not a guy.

Then there’s Jace Winters. When I mentioned Denver running Jace out of her book, I realized it was because I suck at writing women. I have since scrapped two novels where Jace was female, and Jace is now Jason Winters. Jace as a male nearly writes himself, and his personality is strong enough to stand up to Denver. They are doing the buddy thing so well in my new project that it makes me smile.

And yeah, there’s a lot of slash potential there.

Note - I am currently working on another chapter of Fire & Ice, but I probably won't have time to finish it until next week.
