Is it wrong that I'm glad that you feel my pain? Haha, because it's not like you don't LIKE those characters, you just cannot keep that many balls in the air during a scene and not have it jarring when one of them speaks after five pages of not saying anything :P

It also gives you respect for the real writers...especially if you ever try writing Castiel. You start to really understand why he only shows up occasionally and doesn't stick around long.
