I read Veen's opinion about fanfics. He points that many heartwarming fanfics have same formula - sister do something bad to Lincoln, they feel sorry, they apologize and have happy ending. I agree this schematic is boring but not bed when not overused. I admit I used this schematic in Lincoln vs Lynn, Frigid Fever, April Two Rules, Lincoln's Birth, No Sound Only Silence, Sister Carol, Sister Envy and Golf Siblings. So quite a lot of times but I don't feel bad, I also try to make the guilty one fix mistakes by actions rather than apology because actions are louder than words.

Veen also pointed that Lincoln is often angelized and the sisters demonized. I just try to not make him a jerk, because I don't like him as jerk like he was in Out of Limo. However maybe I made him too flawless. I try to make him make mistakes as well, for example in Lincoln vs Lynn he realises he went too far with his revenge, in Spark in the Dark he realises he neglected Lucy.

Making protagonist flawed is harder than I thought. However Linc is supposed to be a planner. his plans shall solve problems, he makes mistakes but learns from them to make his plans better.
