Plotting at :45! Join if you like.

Usually no one is on, unfortunately. So today is Bring-your-character-to-work Day. *Plops Seb on the floor* *Pats his head*

@linus-smallprint

I think it’s a viable idea to make another website. I still think it would not be ideal, since we have so much history here and I’m assuming it would be difficult to move everything. But I’m not putting down the idea. Some of my irl friends had a roleplay that turned into a huge campaign, and they made a website for it.

@linus-smallprint Calling on our local Canadian

They are all in a 50s ish red Cadillac with fins, so they’re pretty crammed. Ryla brings lots of cookies, and spends most of the trip looking out the window. Her grandfather drives. Celarent is in love with the car and keeps begging to drive it, but Ryla’s grandfather won’t let him. Iolyn is reading a thick book in the back. Letty is climbing on…[Read more]

@loopylin

I have a very vivid imagination, to the point that I don’t ever want my books made into a movie, because the characters wouldn’t look like I imagined them. I have this problem with other books made into movies too. Characters are more vivid in my mind than real people.

@liberty

I just revived it. 🙂

There were two “recent” ones, and either will work. I tagged you in the one that had more activity by current KPers, lol. You can also make a new one if you wanted. Whichever you want. 🙂

This looks more promising. It’s definitely more general than the other at least… Not sure which came first. Anyway.

Anyone find songs they want to share? Or songs they found that reminded them of other people’s characters? I’ll be happy to reciprocate.

Just tagging…

@liberty

I have come! This topic shall revive! Revive!!

Ok, lol. We can make a new one, but it’s been a bit, and this one was the most recent I could find. I shall go stir up the other recent one and wait to see which one survives.

@grcr

I liketh them! I did laugh when I read it, so there’s that. I love all the contrasting personalities.

Google says you’re right. I don’t think I’ve wondered that specifically, but I’ve definitely had my share of random questions in that vein.

Alyona brings all the snacks… An impossible amount of snack.

Nadían is a typical kid, but she’s more likely to ask an inumerable amount of random questions than ask how long the trip would be.

Reúven would want to navigate and make Viktor drive.

Viktor would be terrified.

Mr. Mynclais would drive instead, giving Viktor a book to read a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Yeah that makes sense with your photographic memory.

My memory sucks. Wanna trade?

I have a question for everyone. What is it like to go on a road trip with your character? What are they like while traveling, and where do they go?

@liberty

Hooray! It’s so much fun to do this.

Do you like collecting theme songs for your characters?

Yes, absolutely. I started a while ago, although some projects collect songs easier than others. There’s so much a song can express! Did you ever share any lists on the list threads?

@whalekeeper @elishavet-pidyon

That’s interesting. It’s fun learning how other people’s brains work.

Can you picture your family’s faces from different perspectives?

No. I can remember basic stuff like hair and if they wear glasses, of course, but the faces are really hard. At first, I can only remember a picture I drew of my dad once, my mom’s h…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yes! Share drawings and make a picture book. I’d buy it. 😉

@loopylin

That’s a very good question.

It depends. Some characters I see in flashes of movement/emotion, so their exact features can be unclear. Others I see so clearly it’s irritating because finding face claims becomes twice as hard.

Part of it depends on if I’ve drawn them before, and part of it just on how connected their personality is to…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Oh, and I’d love to see your story! (Motivation problems understood though. Lol. I’ve got some projects like that.)

@ellette-giselle

Thanks! We’re thinking of getting it printed, although we’re not certain about publishing. LotR has a vicious copyright gang.

Hehe. It’s been fun. I don’t know how clear this is, but it’s a satire on multiple aspects from authors to tendencies in fantasy tropes. The fanfic side is part of that, so we’re definitely twisting the…[Read more]

@loopylin

My characters tend to be blurry, yeah. Some more than others. If I’ve drawn the character before, then I’ll picture an version of the drawing, just in motion. A lot of the time I just picture the motion itself, abstract, or a roughly scratched drawing. Just realized I see 70% of my charries as animated, not real life. XD

Also because…[Read more]

@anyone

Here’s a weird thing I realized while reading the portals story and I need to tell someone. Do you guys actually picture your characters’ faces in your minds while you write them to the point where you could recognize them if you met them irl? Because I have no idea how to do that. I can picture details like facial expressions or…[Read more]
