What I got most about the Asher question is that she doesn't want to fix him because it means that he'd have to develop as a character. If the scars remain, then his sticking point of angst remains and we can recycle the same drama forever. If he's content with his appearance, content as a character, WHAT DOES SHE DO THEN.

Also I find it weird that *she finds him beautiful so it's okay. If this was a real person, it's be so very, very skeevy.

Couple this with how the entire Q&A just makes it seem that LKH has no idea that as a writer of fiction, this means she's allowed to make things up.
