Topic: Writing Character Death

In this discussion, Madlori and Lissa (aka Cinnamon), authors of two of the most well-known character death fics in the Sherlock and Harry Potter fandoms, respectively, discuss their approach to writing character death, the response to their particular fics, and how writing about death can be cathartic and beautiful. Spoiler warnings for those two fics, and (obviously) for character death.
