get tot the point, (as I tend to ramble.) how far IS too far out of
character. I know there is a line, but where do you think it is? I'm just

I dunnow.  I don't think there is a line.  This talk about Kodachi tying
people up with ribbons (for sexual reasons, presumadably ^_^)shows that
sometimes it's fun to see characters acting against their
characterizations.  Fanfics are written for fun, not because we're in a
contest to see who can be most like the cliched characterization.

Also, characterizations are very arbitrary.  I think Ryouga's a
mega-shmuck.  I know that other people think he's super-nifty.  Takahashi
doesn't release a guidebook saying "This is what Ryouga is like," she
gives us his actions.  They can be interpreted pretty much any way you
want. I'd much rather see an author try (and perhaps fail) a new
interpretation of a character than see a characterization I've seen 300
times before...
