I must confess that I used to have a problem with author stand-ins... and if I was writing about political things, it could look bad. Lately I've taken a really big step back from my characters and it seems to have helped, ha.
Yeah, I worry about the first one. I end up getting so emotionally invested, and if people don't react the same way I almost feel like I've let my characters down. Or maybe the stories I remember are the ones I have an emotional response to?
