Hyperactive Character Association (HCA) is when you feel emotion due to one of your made up people. Symptoms of HCA include, but are not limited to, sighing, crying, openly weeping, laughing, being happy, being angry, or just generally having the same emotion as your character does, because of your character. For instance, take this post.
I cried as I wrote this, as Roger is this broken little girl pretending to be a grown up. She just wants to be loved by those in her family, and needs the bond family brings. Roger is the one character I can count on to send me into tears every other post.
If this happens to you often, you may be suffering from HCA.
Of course, I use suffering ironically.
However, as we know now what HCA is, let me introduce you to HCAA
Hyperactive Character Association Anonymous is much like AA except we aren't trying to fix our problem. We're trying to share it.
This club is for people who need to talk about their overactive feels about their characters.

She sighed, admitting to herself, she wanted the acceptance of all versions of her great to the third grandfather. She was ashamed of this.

Sunpaw walked around to face the fox, his paw raised to deliver a blow, but... he looked into the eyes of the fox cub and saw only warm innocence. He broke, freezing where he was, looking down on the fox cub as it stared back at him with frightened eyes. He gulped, and put his paw down. He couldn't do it. He was ashamed of himself. A pair of cute eyes and suddenly he couldn't do a warrior's work. What kind of an apprentice was he?
As I wrote this, I was just imagining how it would feel to have to kill kittens. I had this lump in my throat as Sunpaw raised his paw to hurt this perfect, innocent little fox cub, staring up at him like a lost puppy. For context, Sunpaw just helped kill the mother of these fox cubs, and I felt super guilty for taking away a mother of two, and now Sunpaw has to kill the cubs as well, and it's very shameful that he can't bring himself to do it. I had this knot of guilt and shame in my stomach, and anguish as those cute amber eyes stared up out of the hole innocently and sweetly, just wanting to be friends. I'm actually trying not to cry right now as I'm rereading this post.
