In my fanfiction one of my OC characters is female and she's very talented. While the decisions I made concerning her, were written with a theme and message in mind, I fear her being labeled a 'Mary Sue' and being called a pathetic writer. I was sorely tempted to change her gender to male and I purposefully made her weaker in comparison to other male characters. Are writers ever fearful of creating strong female characters? What are we supposed to do if a reader says they are a Mary Sue?

Write even stronger, sassier and cooler female characters, I guess.

Hi sorry I just wanted to thank you. So many stories and movies and TV shows have sad or upsetting endings/storylines just for the "shock value" and it makes it so hard to fully enjoy anything. But Good Omens made me feel so happy and positive and unlike a lot of other shows I feel like I would enjoy rewatching it over and over again. Thank you so much for creating something that people can really love and have fun with.

You are so very welcome.

I absolutely adore the novel and the film Coraline. Whenever I tell people it’s one of my top threes, 80% of the time Tim Burton gets mentioned. I work at a movie theatre, it comes up often. Over the years I’ve tried to kindly find a way to say well, he’s great but he didn’t actually work on Coraline; that was Henry Selick, but I can’t quite find the right words! Does this ever happen to you?

Yes.

And what’s even more peculiar, when you tell people that Henry Selick made and directed Nightmare Before Christmas they accuse you of only mentioning that so that people will think your film is directed by Tim Burton.
