Please don’t take it personally. Coming up with the negatives for this list wasn’t easy since I haven’t read a whole lot of bad or mediocre fanfics. Because of this, most of the fanfics (including your’s) do not represent the full scale of quality, particularly the very bad.

I have read some of your work and I think it’s alright. But if you want me to be honest, I don’t think Nolan is an interesting character. From the stuff I’ve read, he comes across as someone reacting to whatever happens in episodes rather than someone that steers the course in a way that only he could do it. A lot of times, his dialogue and actions are interchangeable with Lincoln, leaving me to wonder what purpose Nolan serves in being in the scene.

I am perfectly aware that I have not read all of your work as of making this list. If you would like, I could read more of your stories to see if these problems are alleviated. I also want to make clear that some of the categories for the list were difficult for me given the types of fanfics I have read. From my understanding, Nolan is a self-insert (correct me if I’m wrong). I do not put your OC on the list with any intent to hurt you or discourage you from writing fanfiction. At heart, I am a constructive person; I want to see things get better over time, not worse. Putting your OC on my list is a reflection of an incomplete assessment of writing ability and is not intended to be a personal attack.

I hope you can understand.
