The Perils of Fic Writing
Mar. 10th, 2012 07:45 pmDear Mr. Lensherr,
may I call you Erik?
Ah Magneto then. Just a small word, if that's okay. It's just ... you know how I said you weren't the lead character in the first part of this fic? You're not the lead character of the second part either. In fact, and I'll give you this spoiler for free, you're not the lead character of any part of it. You're the main secondary character for three different parts but that's it. I'm aware it sucks to be you, but the rest of X-Men: First Class fandom is already writing that story, and it's writing that story better than I can. So be quiet.
(If it's any sort of carrot, if you shut up long enough for me to write this fic, I will eventually get round to the one where you are the lead character.)
Also, if you could avoid defaulting to cartoon series style declaiming, I'd be obliged. I mean, I realise that's just how you come out when I write you, but some restraint would be nice.
