Ha! I could shake hands with my characters, that's how alive they've become for me, so yes - attached. But I've had a decent amount of practice in detaching, thanks to non-fiction, so I can write these horrible scenes, watch my characters suffer, twitch, and still keep to their traits. It's after the scenes are finish when I feel like a shit, lol. I've actually felt my stomach clench a bit. Hey, no one ever said this hobby was simple.
And I agree; death to a character can actually be a good thing, especially if they've suffered greatly. That's the worst, I think, watching a character suffer continuiously by your own fingertips. Just sucks.
