Thank you.

Keeping  the characters true to their personalities  is one of the hardest things. I really hate Lincoln's jerk moments so I write him with his nicer side. However I always fear if I make him less interesting by making him nicer. All because I imagined his evil forms and I was so terrified I decided to not do it again unless I try to make it lighter and softer and use as a nightmare of some character.

Because like Luan I'm not good at jokes I write fanfics with more serious tone but I try to not go too far with darker and more mature themes. I put T-rated first time in 8 Halloween Stories because the titular stories are quite dark and violent. I also needed to remember what are the storytellers like so their stories needed to fit them, for example Leni is afraid of spiders so spider-like monsters were logical choice. I admit Luan's story was the hardest because she's one of the lighter characters. Generally I try to not go to far with darker tone and inapropriate humor.

In Spark in the Dark I risked a lot by writting how I imagine Lucy's background as it may contradict canon in the future. I had a theory why she's a goth and put it in this fanfic. I use Lynn a lot because I find her relationship with Lincoln as the most complex and interesting, though love in short. I wanted to resolve their conflicts and make Lincoln badass so I wrote quite dark revange story Lincoln vs Lynn.
