meme: reverse questions (with a twist)

[fjordicswagger]

Hey folks! It's been since November and I keep coming up with ideas for this meme, so what the hell, I thought I'd tack it up myself.

Pose a question (or as many as you'd like, and they don't all have to be in one comment, so you can come back later and add more if you want) to your fellow players about the game or their characters, and they will Wall-of-Text if they want to, look, I know how some of you are answer them. They can be personal or silly. You don't have to answer all of them! Nothing counts in game, of course and etc.

Questions might include "Which of your characters are you the most like?", "Which BDE was your favorite?", "What music do you RP to?", etc.

I'll be in and out today, but I'm going to try and hit this with as many questions as I can. Go ask 'em too.

How much of your understanding of your character changes as you play them over a longer period of time? Has anything ever happened to a character that completely upended your understanding of them?

[fjordicswagger]

If your canon has supplemental material, such as books for games or adaptations for books, etc, do you read it and use it? Or do you prefer to stick to the main text?

[fjordicswagger]

Outside of the age-old 'organic or no?' question we've done in these memes before, how do you play relationships? Are there certain themes you keep hitting, or certain ways of build-up?

[fjordicswagger]

What's the most thematically interesting to you about your current crop of characters?

[fjordicswagger]

How do you decide on little details that might not be in the canon itself, like boxers or briefs?

(Alternately: boxers or briefs?)

[fjordicswagger]

Is there anything coming up for one of your characters you're looking forward to?

[fjordicswagger]

What's been your favorite (personal) storyline in game?

[fjordicswagger]

Which one of your characters would you want to go on a roadtrip with?

For students, do you prefer to app them young (14-15, freshman-sophomore) or older? Why?

[fjordicswagger]

How did you get into your current canon(s)?

[fjordicswagger]

How much time do you spend planning out character arcs, and how much of it is organic?

[fjordicswagger]

Do you get bleed? And if so, what do you feel it does for your writing?

[fjordicswagger]

Does any of your characters have a character trait or bit of headcanon you wish you did more with?

[fjordicswagger]

Have you ever gone out of your comfort zone with a character and have it pay off really well? Or not at all?

[fjordicswagger]

What really obvious writing quirks do you have?

[fjordicswagger]

Have you ever gotten into a band or a music style or - hell, anything else - purely because your character was into it?

[fjordicswagger]

Any shipping regrets?

Pearl Jam.

I made friends with the owner of the music shop down the street from where I worked at the time because of it, even.

[fjordicswagger]

Have you ever had a thread go much darker than you expected it to? Or lighter?

[fjordicswagger]

I MAY HAVE HAD YOU IN MIND WHEN I THOUGHT OF THIS QUESTION, YES. :D

[fjordicswagger]

Which emoticon most closely resembles each of your characters?

[fjordicswagger]

What's one character trait that really fascinates you in one of your current characters? (Shhh, I like reading people's meta about their characters.)

This boy here has a tendency in canon to just make up these horrifying, elaborate stories around people who don't know any better but to take him at his word, mostly just for the shock value, and he doesn't do that nearly so much here in FH. I think that's at least in part because it was a bit of a defense mechanism when stuck with this optimistic former rich kid, and that didn't actually come up around here so often, but if I'm being completely honest, I held him back a little bit in that regard partly because I didn't want to stir up too much shit in game.

Basically, I wish Sparkle had been a slightly more terrible person when he was new, and he's settled in now too much to really go back to that.

If your characters had social media accounts, what would they be and what would they be like? (Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, whichever.)

I HAD WONDERED.

I mean, I was always a little bit into post-grunge - see my long-running obsession with Our Lady Peace - but Pearl Jam and other grunge grunge (and alternative, and hard rock) was Jono's fault.

Actually, I started reading Vonnegut because of Jono, too. Damn him.
