Read, Write, Read

a_qI have read so much of these "I don't know canon, but love the fics about this pairing" -fics, that I suspect I could make a passable attempt on writing fic of my own. XD There's about ten factoids that kept popping up, if I smacked them all into one fic, it might sound just about right.
Which only shows that fic writers describe the chracters much more than they think they do, in addition of using a steady set of things that immediately make the chracter recognizable. Which is actually interesting, if you think about 'OOC'-ness. Maybe it's just that the writer didn't use any of the usual markers (like shortcuts) for the character but didn't describe them in their own way either. Hence reader feeling unsure or confused about what's going on.
Anyway, I thought it was interesting how you can 'build up' the character across dozens of different fics.
I'm reading too much, I should be writing really. I think I need pull up the Moosti-timer again, that should help me focus on the task at hand.
Oh, coffee first!
