      Okay, so I just had a great idea. It’s technically not my idea but I have it, don’t I? XD

      In the Young Writers’ Workshop, they don’t roleplay a lot, but they have this activity in the character forum called character interviews. Basically if you have a new character, who you want to get to know (or even an old one!), you can ask people to interview the character. Ask them questions about their life, their favorite and least favorite things, their beliefs. I remember it was super fun and really helped a lot of people. 😉

      Example:

      Writer 1: I have a character named Blaze. He is a dinosaur with flamingo wings. Would anyone like to interview him so I can discover his unique voice?

      Writer 2: Sure! (Starts interview) What’s your favorite food, Blaze?

      Writer 1: Puffed pastry.

      Writer 2: What makes life worth every struggle?

      Writer 1: Puffed pastry.

      And I think that’s about it XD Does anyone have characters they would like to submit?

        WHY DID I NEVER THINK OF THIS??

        Any noun can become a verb if you don't care enough.

          Hi! I’m joining YWW today, so it’s funny that this came up! I love this idea!

          I’ll submit my character Alyssa; she’s a sixteen year old girl in a contemporary rom-com that I haven’t written but floats around in my head constantly XD

            (Oh you’re on YWW? What do you think about it? I’ve been looking into it lately, but I’m not sure if I’m willing to spend the money on it…)

            Ooh fun!!

            I’mma do one right now then…

            Actually, two, but not one person has to interview both of them. 😛

              (To anyone who starts to interview them, I [they] may not be able to reply right away. Anddd… I want to add more charries but I’ll leave it at two for now. XDD Let’s just say I’ve been working on character voice a lot lately. 😂)

                  Who would like to interview N.-A.S.F.K.G. (XD doing his initials is so fun!) Alias Silvanis Snickerdoodle? He’s a descendant of Grathmere’s son Alpha and also son of a naga (human snake creature). He has some abnormal abilities and looks so beware.

                      Ooh I already have a question!!

                      *makes sure they’re in separate rooms* Now give me your honest opinion on your sibling.

                      I seriously wonder what my brother would say if he got this question XD

                        I have a question for Silvanis.

                         

                        Q: Which of your initials is your least favorite?

                          Yes, I’m glad you guys like the idea!!

                          Also it’s totally fine for a few people to question the same character. That way there’s some diversity in the questioning.


                          @walkbyfaith

                          Hi Alyssa! (🤣) Um… it’s nice to meet you! Could you describe yourself for me, in your own words?


                          @rae

                          (To your character) Your author called you Silvanis Snickerdoodle. I like it. What do you think of that nickname?

                            Hey, just wondering… are the answers supposed to be given as though the character were actually speaking? I’d suppose so, since it is an interview… ?

                              Yep! This way we can practice character voice.

                                  *enters Silvanis  character cloak*


                                  @highscribeofaetherium

                                  The ‘K’ probably. It’s a boring letter.


                                  @whalekeeper

                                  I think I would like it better if I knew exactly what a ‘snickerdoodle’ is. I chose the name because my true name is awful. Silvanis  is a nice name in my opinion.
