To all The Best Deceptions readers and reviewers:
Many of you have asked yourself this same question, so I thought I might bring some clarity to it all. Here is the question:
'Are the characters supposed to seem so out of character?'
And for my answer: Yes, in a very odd way, they are intended to be out of character. Now, truthfully, I really shouldn't be callling this a fanfiction, because there is no doubt about it that a fanfiction is made to take the characters and their personalities and use them in your own story line, and I was very aware of this when I wrote the story. Now what I am doing with their OOCness, is, in a very obscured way, adding drama and height to the story. Now this probably seems a bit strange to you, but in fact, when you match the character to their surroundings, the story turns out to be a bit more suspenseful, and the audience doesn't realize it. It's kind of like using a secret recipe of some type to your story, as absurd as that sounds. And no matter what type of personality that character has, when you put them in a position that is foreign to them, most every character will act in the same manner. For an example, we'll use Faye, because she seems to be the most out of character: When she finds herself falling more in love with Spike, and realizing how much she never did love Vicious, her personality seems to change greatly. Now let me explain this. Faye is a very independent person, and when she finally opens herself to someone, only to realize that she couldn't truly trust that one person (Vicious), she breaks down. Now you do not see ths much in the show, because Faye is never really put on the spot in this position, and you cannot see her emotions through her eyes. I am merely opening up another side of Faye's character. This is pretty confusing isn't it? I'm sorry...
Here's another example: Vicious and Julia's death. Now let me ask you a question: When you believe you are in love with someone, only to find out that they are decieving you, what do you do? Usually, if you truly, truly believed that you held love with that person, you dump yourself with so many mixed emotions, for you want to love that person still, but you know that you must hate them. For example: Faye really believed she loved Vicious, and when she killed him, there was still that piece of Vicious inside of her hanging on. And the same idea with Spike. That's why you find them, Faye mostly, going insane after their deaths. It's like a hidden love that can't let go of, but already tried forcing away.
You're probably not comprehending even a minute of my blabbering and I'm sorry if this still seems confusing -_-' Maybe if you just nod your head and smile it'll make me feel smart, lol. I know I can overexplain things to the point of confusement, but I just wanted to let you see every point of this.
I hope this has helped you understand the story a bit more. If it hasn't. Oh well, lol. I want to thank everyone who has reviewed or even read this story. I'm much appreciative. If I could give you all your own personal Christmas present from me I would... but I'm much too broke. I'm hoping that this thanks is enough -_-'. The ending of the story is coming soon, but it hasn't come yet. I think I might have confused you all a bit last time. I should have been a bit more clear, and it is my fault. But that's a good thing! Now, you can still be excited because this story isn't over yet!
Eh...-_-' Nevermind...
Thanx for everything!
