Sure - and that's where you get into the one easily visible advantage of fan-produced fiction. A built in audience. You'll get feedback across the spectrum telling you how well you did or didn't get it. ;-) Sometimes from the same person.
Messy, that.
I was just about to say this. And I don't read fanfic, but I can well imagine that you'll get flamed if you get the tone of the characters wrong. Or the voice. I can also imagine the type of arguments that occur if something is on the bubble, as it were <wry g>.
