It's hard to kill someone you love. Even when they're a character in one of your novels.

The first (and prior to that) murders in the serial killer story I'm doing for NaNo, only the people in the story care about. I didn't much. This one I like so much. I hated writing his murder. But I just now killed him.

My whole saga (because I plan on doing at least one more after this one) is a fanfic that's about a movie where everyone dies at the end in a mass suicide +1 accidental murder, so I'm trying to build up to that moment. It's very hard, because I've become so attached to the characters now that part of me wants really badly to take the chickenshit route and AU the stories and make everyone live happily ever after, but the rest of me knows that that would be foolish.
