30 Days of Fandom, catch-up, days 7-10

Here's the full 30 days, for those who want to play along.

( Day 7: Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character? )

( Day 8: Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs. )

( Day 9: Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day <strike>two</strike> three, what are your three favorite pairings to write? )

( Day 10: Pairings – Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could? )
