Being able to characterise properly is part of being able to write well. If it reads well but the characters are shit that's like dipping sewage in chocolate and saying it looks nice. It doesn't matter what it looks like. It's still shit.

Are we ranting about someone in particular?

I agree so much. There's nothing more that makes me despair more than a fantastic story that's well written but with so OOC characters.

True that. If they're not characterised correctly, it's more like an OC than that character, isn't it? I can't say I'm the perfect example though... > >

I couldn't agree more. There's nothing that pisses me off more than when people write characters badly... and some of my favourite characters I read the most fic for seem to be written frustratingly badly at least half the time, and yet are really well written. :I It's disappointing because you really want to enjoy it but you just can't.
