Thank you so much for putting all of this together! You did a fabulous job (the "do's and don'ts" section was particularly helpful) and I'm feeling much more confident in writing Fraser. My Fraser POV (both first and third person) tends to come off as a bit ponderous, and so I was very gratful for the reminder that while Fraser does have an extensive vocabulary, his normal speech is relatively clipped and he does use contractions and slang terms. And thanks for pointing out that Fraser does lie, cry, and get angry: I've read a lot of fics that treat him as a paragon of human virtue and as much as I adore the man, he's not perfect, nor is he a Vulcan. :-)
The video links you provided are a wonderful resource, and I hope everyone will take your advice and come up with their own Fraser canon in addition to the canon provided by the show and the Fraser Fics of Greatness. And then I hope they'll write about it. Great job on this essay.
