There's a discussion going on within the IYFG about characterization, especially within stories that are AU/AR and Crossovers. I warn all readers that because I tend to write fics that are AU/AR, Rumiko-san's character's will be OOC. Can't help it. It happens. It's an interesting topic, one that I haven't added anything into because whatever they say won't change how I write my stories and how I portray the characters within those stories. I do my very best to keep certain traits and personalities that define the characters. But sometimes...what  can you do?
