hmm... here's my uncaffeinated lackadonutitis affected take on this-
Everyone views characters differently. Yes, the group of us that tend to live on each others journals probably have more of a similar look/intrepretation than others might but that's immaterial. Even if you spend 3 paragraphs setting up the scene and characters to behave in the way you wanted there are some people who still would have problems with it.
I tend to have radically different ideas on the characters than most, yet I can happily read any good fic no matter how differently the author intreprets the character than I do.
no subject
