I've been lurking, reading every material I could find (except, of course, the badfics themselves - sanity is wanted intact), and will later be attempting to convert some of my own OCs into prototype agents to acquire Permission for.
On something rather different: Modifying the main canon line by extrapolation is difficult, but has goodfic potential.
Writing AU might be easier, but also has goodfic potential.
What about writing EU (just in case: Expanded Universe)?
Asking this mostly for my own use, since I've created a relatively large group of characters that exist in a 'verse without making contact with the protagonists (one of which, by the way, happens to be my agentification candidate, simply because he recognises that remaining in a 'verse where the author's wish fulfillment concerning hugs, kisses and nookie with an obscure, AU main character LO conflicts with his characterisation as psychotically unemotional and therefore is likely to lead to filibuster.)
That was a chunk of meta, I fear. Haven't been writing much self-deprecation as of recently, so forgive the practice attempt.
Eh, anyway, what were we talking about? Writing credible characters? What's that?
