I’m 2/3rds into chapter eleven of The War Within and I have a nagging feeling that I’m screwing this up. I’m trying to stick to canon and I’m justifying and backing up what I’m writing, using canon quotes and past scenes. However, I can’t escape the feeling that I’m making the characters act OOC.

I suppose fanfic is wish fulfillment and not canon. At the end of the day I am making the characters do/say things that we’re unlikely to see on screen. That’s the whole point of fanfic, I can make happen what I would like, not what we’re going to get.

I just hope it tracks and makes sense with the rest of the fic, that I haven’t done great leaps out of nowhere. I knew what I intended but that might not be what came across. This has been a difficult chapter. I guess I’ll find out on Tuesday what people think.
