acerbicaftertaste replied to your post: I’ve had this weird urge to write character…

Getting character’s inhibitions down, heck yes- otherwise some of these close-lipped little buggers would never say anything about anything. By which I mean I also do have this urge

this may or may not be my primary motivation for this

/late reply, got distracted by Pokeymen

I’ve had this weird urge to write character development short stories for a while

why is the only writing prompt I can think of “[character] is drunk”

aw, why am I always offline for the character development days, I wish people would ask about my characters more often

(I’m kind of obsessive about my characters

psst, feel free to take this as an invitation to ask me questions about my characters

or to ask my characters about themselves)

Kyle. People can make fun of them for it. …Okay. Lina? Patricia? Nancy? Megan? Victoria? Nina?

Derp at Kyle. XD Though, since this is kind of an off-reference to the character as opposed to an actual appearance, that would probably just confuse people.

Anyway, I’ve decided to go with Kiarra, at least for now. Thanks though!

//Kiara

Hmmm

I was about to go with Charlotte, but Kiara is nice too *ponders*

Hey you guys, I need a name for my NaNo like right now, I can’t decide

What’s a good girl’s name?

I get really into designing my characters’ backstories. Even with canon characters I tend to have a lot of headcanons to flesh them out a little more where needed. Unfortunately, I also tend to rp characters that don’t exactly enjoy chatting about their past, so no one ever gets to know the full story. I’d love to share; the character clams up.  

oh man me

me me me

me so much i’m not even kidding

I’ve decided that if there was ever a live-action movie made of one of my stories, I would want to a) oversee it to make sure they don’t do anything stupid with the story, and b) hug the actors who play my characters, then it would be almost like actually hugging the characters ahfgjkg

how do you flesh out an idea? does it take a long time, do you mull over it for hours, or does it come easily? describe the process!

I usually run the scene or idea or whatever through my head several times until stuff happens. True story. XD

If someone were to read my mind, it would probably be filled with the exact same dramatic dialogue over and over, just with slight tweaks every time. :B
