about this story to me before; in point of fact this is the first

feedback

I have recieved from him. I am as yet left to wonder why Mr.

Davies hates

me so much and would attack people who are obviously enjoy my

story.

Perhaps because this story is horribly out of tone with the series

and

puts many of the characters through hell?
 

With all due respect, this sad, pointless argument about the tone of
the series in fanfiction is already old on RAAF. Please don't drag it
onto the FFML as well. 

He has express the my characterization of Mamoru is wrong, well

need Mamoru

be expressed in one way continually for every peice of

fanfictions? No, as

Mamoru should resemble the anime or manga Mamoru, or else one isn't
writing about Mamoru, one is writing about some other character

entirely

named Mamoru.  The same applies to any of the other characters. 

While

there's always room for interpretation, one can reach a point where

the

characters are no longer recongizible in behavior.  

I'll say this much: the characterization is *believable*, given the
evidence presented in the fanfic. Mamoru is *human*. He's not
infallable. He's not perfect. He's human, which means that given the
circumstances of this fanfic, his actions are believable. 

If an author  can't write a fanfic using a recognizable

characterization

of the characters, they need to find some other set of characters

who WILL

do what is needed for the story without bending them into pretzels.

If that were truly the case, half of the best fanfiction out there
would not exist.
