Moon-lines and Apple-pathways

Actually no I wouldn't. There's an entire community dedicated to Trowa dark fic, where he's written as a bad guy or an asshole etc and its quite a lot of fun. (Just keeping the Trowa example going here) But in it they warn what kind of dark side they're giving the guy and you can skip portrayels you won't like. Similarly in an AU if you're writing a charactor our of charactor you notice, and so you can warn for it. I once read one where Wu Fei was written as a thug and a rapist and it was an ok fic and I still enjoyed it because it came with the warning. And there was another one where Heero was a closeted homosexual engaged in a public relationship with Relena and a seriously abusive private one with Duo. But it worked because it was a plausible charactor developement and wasn't just set up to destroy the charactor. Plus with bashing it feels different. Because a fic set up to bash a character revolves around making that charactor look like shit, or even if it doesn't all the interactions with that charactor are set up that way. And that's no fun.
