But I just realized how every character I've ever written has some aspect about them that is me, or what I want to be me... whether it is furry or otherwise. Like, in the book I just finished writing, Dammyr was my more cynical/idealist romantic side. Terra was my happy-go-lucky glass half full side (very small piece of me, actually) and then James was my screw everything, I'll do what I want piece. If anyone noticed those differences, I commend you, because those differences were a bit subtle, I found. Oh, and another thing on that front... every reaction I put in that story would be a reaction I would have, therefore giving it a more authentic feel, would you not agree?
