What do you folks think about authors who become seemingly incapable of killing off any of the "regular" characters who appear in a series, when situations occur where the character should have met his or her natural or unnatural demise? When the characters become so real in the author's mind that he/she just cannot eliminate them, even though the story arc suffers? How can you recover a series that is stagnating because of something like that, without a wholesale slaughter that would alienate the core readership?
