For the J2 writers--or RPF writers in general! Mostly for those of you who have written the characters more than once.

Do you see them as the very same people each time out, or are they different folks each time? Do you see them as the actors playing the role of whatever in your fic?

I view them differently reading them than I do writing them. I generally tend to see them as actors playing the role of whatever I'm reading at the time, unless the story is incredibly AU. Also, the better written they are, the more I see them as the RL actors playing the part of whatever--love-crossed artists/baseballs players or thing.

No real reason for asking except for being my nosyparker self. I've only written them a few times and lawks, it's much easier writing J2 or Sam/Dean than Clex. Writing a SV AU required a *lot* of work, like, why was this boy super powered or why was he not super powered. We had to be inventive as hell to get around that if he wasn't. Sam/Dean was like a walk in the park compared to that, incest and stuff aside. *koff* Plus, if you wanted a super powered Sam, that was kind of canon-compliant. *G* We'll always love good old Powers!Sam. I'm forever tucking him into a fic, hah!

I think we know by this post who's putting off writing the next chapter of OTH, ah?

I love writing Mark Sheppard and Steve Williams, but whether I'm writing them in an SPN scenario or a RPF, I tend to make them the characters from SPN. I don't know much about either guy other than what I've seen on Supernatural, so that tends to be what's in my minds eye when I write them. Same with Jared/Jensen and Sam/Dean. I only really KNOW Sam/Dean and the personas the J's put on at conventions and little personal things that may or may not be true, like Jensen likes his coffee black and strong and loves to sleep in. So the little 'Con leaks' get added in to my J2, but I'm essentially writing Sam/Dean LOL
Does that make any kind of sense?
And I'm procrastinating from getting back to work : P

Yes, it totally does. That's my SV RPS stuff--essentially writing Clark and Lex, with little tidbits gleaned from interviews tossed in for flavor. Interesting!

And nothing wrong with that at all! :D
