5 –If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your “muse” or not, what did you do about it?
It's never happened. I've had characters already present do something that I never planned (Kyuu suddenly being all manly and mature in chapter 4 of It's All an Act, You Know, for example), but none have ever forced their way in.
I suspect the whole "muse" thing, and a beloved character shoehorning themselves into whatever fic an author is writing--regardless of fandom--is something that happens to younger writers. Maybe since I'm all grown up and boring with next to no spontaneity, my characters behave. *laughs*
