Fascinating. So you attempt to escape the dreariness and pressure of your own life by pretending to be various male characters on the internet. Yet you repeatedly specifically choose do-gooders with evolved social skills and avoid any true conflict, even in your alter-personas. More than a mere escape, this is an attempt to find meaning and fill the gaps in your own life - if your character is disliked it's alright because it isn't you, yet it's close enough for you to fret and put enormous amounts of time and work into correcting the relationship.

While this sort of escapade is not bad per-say - we all need our happy zone to keep us sane - it's not a substitute to real interpersonal relationships. I suggest that you forsake the idea of 'apping' me as you call it and focus on your real life connections.

You use your writing to sort out your world, to label and define it and find your own place in it. All writers base their works on their experiences and the people around them, but you don't just base on it, you write down your perspective of the real life people that surround you, there's very little fantasy involved.

...I disagree.

[Why doesn't that surprise him.]

Anyone who knows the people you surround yourself with can very easily spot them in your novels, and not as separate traits of various characters but as coherent specific individual characters.

[Because Brennan will never approve of any psychological research relating back to her.]

If anything, they are only loosely based upon Booth and my co-workers at the Jeffersonian.

[He can't help but laugh, come on.]

Loosely -

[Not funny, Sweets. She's being serious.]

Very loosely.

[sweetalker]

[An apologetic smile, but seriously, he doesn't think anyone can blame him.]

You perceive them as loosely based, but they are very easily recognizable to anyone who knows them.

[She can. Quite easily.]
