Date: 2018-12-14 10:14 am (UTC)Ooooh, this is a good question! I tend to be into a lot of stuff that's heavy on the intrigue/espionage and I love characters who are chessmaster manipulator types (Hello there Havelock Vetinari!) so I was dying to write Nirvana in Fire fic, but Mei Chang Su is way smarter than I am tbh. And it's not the 'The show is telling you I have 7 PHDs but I still act like a dumbass' type smart, but something that is visibly proven through Mei Chang Su's knowledge of classical literature, his political maneuvering, his ability to read a situation. I think I've only written from his POV once, but it was super stressful because MCS isn't just great at manipulating his opponents, he's also incredibly unreliable, to the point where he's lying quite a bit even to himself! Trying to get in his head and write from his perspective was really tricky, idk if I'd be up for it a second time.
