Something I think is neat and really cute about fanfic is that there’s a personal version of each character in it? Like, each writer focuses on different traits and qualities and even though there can be a hundred fics with the same character, they’re really not exactly the same.
So even if you and I are writing a fic with the same characters, they can still be uniquely different despite having the same core and they’re each dear to us personally as our take on the person.
I don’t know, I just think it’s cute that each writer cherishes these characters in personal and unique ways.
The whole thing about Sloane and Hurley coming back was because Griffin didn't know about the "bury your gays" trope, when people on twitter told him about it he apologized and then /actually brought them back/ in a way that was thematically appropriate to the series. I think it was handled pretty well all things considered

Yeah! That was such a great way to subvert that trope, and also in a way that fit so well into the narrative too, considering that part was all about the connections to all the people they’d met on their journey. it was really well done
