In Pride and Prejudice, we're showed everybody's flaws before we see their good sides. In my fanfic days, the characters who were the biggest flawed snarkballs wound up being the most endearing.<br /><br />No idea why it took so long to realize that that really works in all stories. My current book, Mal and Libby started out broken and are getting brokener, while struggling ever harder to change their circumstances. It's making for fascinating writing, and hopefully fascinating reading, too.Kessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15019626781634777336noreply@blogger.com
