CHARACTER/WRITING MEEM
1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.
Uuugh, that's so hard to pick xD I actually love all my stories equally, it's pretty sad.
2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?
Weeeeeeell over 100 8D
And I try to have a balanced amount of both, but there were times when the scale tipped to either side xD;
3. How do you come up with names, for characters (and for places if you're writing about fictional places)?
On most occasions, the names come first and I build around the name, because it's usually a name that I want to use. Then there's the characters in Minue/Plue/Etrae's story, where everyone's name is a sortof anagram or something of math words. AND THEEEN for a lot of people, I just have to look at the character and just pick a name that fits their face and personality xD
4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!
OHhhhhjeez xD;
WELL, THERE'S KIETSU, MY MARY-SUE 8D... because her name used to be my name 8D;
She was Laguna Loire's daughter and somehow she was teleported to JAPAN TO MEET THE DIGIDESTINED (SEASON 2, HELLSYEAH), AND DAVIS/DAISUKE WAS HER LITTLE BOYFRIEND, BUT TK HAD A CRUSH ON HER, AND THEN SHE LEFT JAPAN TO GO TO HIGHSCHOOL IN BALAMB WHERE SHE MET SOME CREEPY STALKER GUY WHO SHE LATER FOUND OUT WAS THE BROTHER OF HER NANNYLADY THAT TOOK CARE OF HER AS A BEBE, AND THEN SHE WENT BACK TO JAPAN AND MET SOME WEIRD JAPANESE PEOPLE THAT I MADE UP WHO ALL BEFRIENDED HER IN HOPES OF REPLACING SOME CHICK THAT DISAPPEARED BEFORE SHE SHOWED UP, BLAHBLAH, THERE WAS A BADGUY WHO SPOKE ALBHED.
Then all taht was done and she married Davis/Daisuke from Digimon :D...
AND THEN SOME SHIT HAPPENED AND KIETSU HIT HER HEAD AND SHE WOKE UP AND HAD AMNESIA AND CHANGED HER NAME TO "KEI" AND SHE JOINED A ROCKBAND CALLED "BLANKSCREEN" 8D...
... I swear to you there is a lot more 8'D;
5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about “youngest” and “oldest” in terms of when you created them?
Ummm by age the youngest is... uh... I think it would be Mary, Oswald's kid sister who was, like, 5? I'm sure I have characters with babies, but they're pretty unimportant. Oldest, though... that depends. Actual age-wise would be Urian, who's, like, 7000 xD; But, ah... human-ly, it would be... Jien's father, who's about 49.
As for in terms of creation, my oldest would be Kietsu ^^; But in only acknowledging current stories that I actually still like, Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaai would be my oldest :O... and then January-December are all of the newest =)
6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?
Uh, I actually think I write a lot better nowadays via computer, but if the mood strikes and all I have is a pen and paper, then that I will not mind. I just like having a virtual thesaurus handy is all xD
And usually, I'm fine with writing anywhere and at any time, though I sometimes prefer writing at night in my room. ^^
7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
UHHHM, sometimes. If I really need it and I'm writing, I'll dig for instrumental stuff, otherwise, songs with lyrics'll distract me from thinking ^^;
And there's a TOOOOOOOOOOOOOON of songs that I relate to my characters xD I have an entire playlist of songs that I've assigned to several characters. BUT, with Madison and Edison, they just get every single Muse song ever xD
8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?
Violent... things :D er.
That applies to both :D
9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.
Well, there is no... set process xD It kind of just happens, or I will it to happen, and it happens xD
10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!
lmao, UMMmmmm. Being put into the whiteroom in general is the weirdest situation a majority of my characters have been put into xD
11. Who is your favorite character to write? Least favorite?
MY FAVORITE TO WRITE IS EDISON, DESPITE MYSELF.
And.. um... my least favorite is... iunno, a lot of my female characters are up there. xD; Mostly because a lot of them don't have enough depth to them and they're just so... bland to me xD;
12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?
WORLDBUILDINGGG would have to me Amanihearts, of course, because it was ALL STEMMED FROM A DREAAAM yay dreams :D
I don't know, sometimes, I'm just really proud of that little universe xD
13. What's your favorite culture to write, fictional or not?
Uhh... to write? I have no idea.
14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?
SSsssssssssssometimes, I do xD; A lot of times, I tend to overwork it, too xD;
15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not!
... UM. I... HAVE NO IDEA 8D
I don't really admire many writers, but I know there are good ones out there~
16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing? ;)
I... do, and I... suppose I do fine? I don't know xD
And it depends on the relationship xD
17. Favorite protagonist and why!
... That's if I can determine who is and who isn't a protagonist xD
And in addition, that in itself is difficult because I love all my babies equal xD
SO IUNNO.
Maybe... between Douglas and Madison or something. Both of them are are quite opposite of what they seem at first, idk. It's interesting in a way.
18. Favorite antagonist and why!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedison.
And... Yias.
Because they're both crazy, and crazy people are fun :D
19. Favorite minor that decided to shove himself into the spotlight and why!
MIZU.
Er. Somewhat xD He was hardly important at first, even though from how I drew out the first chapters of satellite, he seemed veeery important, but that was fail on me xD
ALSO, WILL, WHO DIDNT EVEN EVEN EXIST IN PROMISETOREMEMBER WHEN I FIRST MADE THE STORY. He shoved himself all up into the spotlight that I was forced to give him the role as the protag in the sequel to the story BD
OH WELL.
They both craycray BD
20. What are your favorite character interactions to write?
DESPITE MYSELF, Madison&Edison... but there's a bunch of others, too xD A lot of the satellite babies are interesting to write together, just gotta mix and match :>
21. Do any of your characters have children? How well do you write them?
Yyeeesss? And.. um... decently, I suppose :O A lot of them tend to seem the same to me after a while xD;
22. Tell us about one scene between your characters that you've never written or told anyone about before! Serious or not.
... um. Those would all be any spoilertype scenes xD; UM.
THIS ONE TIME, MINUE AND PLUE WERE FENCING :D
The end. :D
23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story-from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?
lmao uh.
Forever :D
24. How willing are you to kill your characters if the plot so demands it? What's the most interesting way you've killed someone?
lol, if it demands it.
Usually, I know from the getgo if a character is going to die, so it doesn't bother me so much xD
Aaaand the most interesting would have to be plain suicide :D
25. Do any of your characters have pets? Tell us about them.
Yyyyes :D There's a lot of cats and dogs, but there's pet one that has a definite personality and that's Pilot, who's a little lady border collie that's terribly smart :D
26. Let's talk art! Do you draw your characters? Do others draw them? Pick one of your OCs and post your favorite picture of him!
YYyyyyesyesand iiii don't feel like it atm :D
27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters.
Theeey sort of do to me. Sort of. idk how to explain xD;
28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there's nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones.
... the only one I can think of is Ferris and his partial deafness. ^^;
29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?
Every now and then, I do think about writing, but soooo very often do I run across things irl that remind me of my characters xD~
30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!
I... I TAG EVERYONE who writes and has stories and characters of their own :D
*scurries off to class nao*
Uuugh, that's so hard to pick xD I actually love all my stories equally, it's pretty sad.
