Chapter 13 of the Aphanes, "Transference"

[tocryabout]

Lucky Chapter 13 is up. I can't really talk this one up, because it's not a happy-fun chapter, but I'll give it a shot. Father issues! Atypical antipsychotics! Inuit art! And if you thought Joel was annoying before, he's pushing it now.

Wow, thanks so much. The emotional landscape is what I'm most interested in, no matter what I'm writing, and I'm glad to hear that these characters move people (really I'm astonished, given the natural and well-deserved prejudice against original characters).

Jubilee can be a hard nut to crack, particularly movieverse, where we see so little of her. I feel handicapped sometimes by not being more familiar with the comics.

The only time I really dislike original characters is when they veer into Mary Sue/Gary Stu territory; brilliant, angsty, always being right and showing up canon characters.

Joel suffers from none of these flaws, except the angst. Given his condition, however, I'm inclined to be sympathetic.
