Community Description:Codslapping annoying fictional characters
Have you ever encountered a fictional character that the author intended you to think wonderful or sympathetic, and just found them really, really annoying? Not the ones they intended to be annoying, the ones they just assume you will love? The author thought they were creating a romantic, brooding, angsty hero but what comes over is a passive-aggressive pouter? or expects you to sympathise with their ever-so-sensitive heroine struggling against the vicissitudes of her existence when you can't stop thinking 'snap out of it and get a life'?

Don't you think these characters would be all the better for being repeatedly slapped around the chops with a wet codfish?

So, vent here! and once I have some names to be going on with, there will be polls.

The original Codswallopers site at LJ - no activity for a very long time, so I'm reviving the project on Dreamwidth.
