Re: [B7L] liking 'character'

Fans don't write fanfic about characters and plot elements they feel were 'mishandled'. You seldom see much of that. Again, I feel it's simply ignored.

I don't think it's so much that fans write about stuff they feel is "mishandled" (although I think there is at least in some fanfic an element of "No, here's how *I* would have done it!"). I think it's more that there are a lot of gaps left unexplored in the show, a lot of possibilities that were hinted at but not a whole lot was done with, a lot of interesting stuff that was never fully developed. So you want to leap in and fill in the gaps. I think that's the sort of think Jenkins was talking about, too.
