First of all, I must say that I LOVE your icon! That thing should be the default icon for TM, I swear! ;)
I agree that fun is at the centre of what we are trying to do. If it isn't fun, why then are you doing it? When your Athos came on the scene, Fanny just clicked with him. Who could have forseen that they would be so intense with each other? Who could have later forseen the storyline where they would be split apart by people and events and it would be so incredibly angsty? She wasn't a muse slut by any stretch of the imagination, so that they felt so much for each other so soon was a surprise for both of us. We followed it where it went and neither of us could have predicted. But it is the angst and the tragedy that makes it so much fun!
I fully admit, I am plot-centric when I write. If there is no plot, my muse and I both get rather bored. She can't stay stagnant. Fanny just isnt a muse that does that well, which is why I made her half-Fae and effectively Immortal in her own right. No, that doesn't make her invincible, but it sure does make for some challenges. I like her in the Musketeer fandom because she fits so very well. You and Lee and Jo and Dan have been my reality check, especially since TM tends to be so damned nitpicky and cliquish. They are especially cliquish against OC's, for whatever reason. I do know that if I do something Sue-ish, or out of character for who Fanny is, you guys or your respective muses are the first to say so. A couple of nights ago between Fanny and Athos was a perfect example of that...poisoned blades and all! *g*
