I think we all are guilty of OOC writing when it comes to writing characters that don't belong to us. You should have seen the LOTR fanfics that I wrote on Gamespot back in 2004...dear God, OOC was all over the place! (They're not there anymore - back then, you didn't need an email to post there, but now you do.)

I get your point, though. Apple doesn't deserve a lot of the criticism that she gets. Me too. When I first joined, I had an idea of Apple that was WAY too OOC, so I changed it. Now however, I'm re-doing my characters' diaries to limit canon character interaction since I'm pretty guilty of writing canon characters wrong, and it's interesting to use OCs too.

I personally think Apple deserves just as much attention as the rest of the characters. I mean, I've seen people who say Apple is "cruel and unfair" for wanting Raven to follow her destiny. However, though it could be wrong that Apple wants to force Raven to sign, she still has a perfectly good reason to want that. If you have read the books, you'll know that Apple has fallen into a well when she was six, and she realized that the real wold was much scarier than her fairytale, so she'd rather be poisoned, because she knows what is going to happen. That is reasonable, not to mention she was six, which at that time, it would be pretty scary to fall down a well.

So yeah. Apple is pretty much a sweetheart. Part of me wants to believe Mattel was sick and tired of all the Apple hate so they made her happy about the Rebel cause in WTW, but part of me is undecided. I think the webisodes don't really show why exactly Apple wants to follow her destiny other than being queen, but eh, that's just my opinion. And if you think about it, Apple had a really good reason to think Raven was selfish in TC because she doesn't want to lose all her loved ones.

Aaaah, I stretched this out more than I needed to. But, you get my point.
