well it's been a long time

Pick one of my characters and one of yours, and I'll tell you something they've always wanted to say to your character but could never bring themselves to say out loud.

Pick two characters, one I play and one you play, and come with a location and/or situation, and I will write you between 50 and 250 words a short fic of probably any length about the kiss that happened in that context.

It can be a pairing we already share or one that is completely random and impossible! It can also be old characters of mine or yours. No limits on this one!

In this game, I am going to list 10 FACTS, all of which are true. You have to guess which of my PS characters they belong to. Comment with whatever ones you can guess!

MY CHARACTERS:
~Johann Goethe
~Daphne du Maurier
~Wendy Faulkner (William Faulkner)
~Victoria Hugo (Victor Hugo)
~John Gardner

( the facts )

Pick a character of mine and a number from 40 to 167. The number will correspond to an entry number of this blog and my character will answer the listed questions. You can find the entry by entering it's post # into the search box at the top of the blog.

In Thomas Foster's, How To Read Literature Like A Professor, Mr. Foster mentions the fact that every story and every character are connected in one way or another. He calls it "intertextuality" (no joke.). I find this concept very interesting. He claims that no one really intends for intertextuality to happen, but it does. Now, I could get into how perhaps this is only because the human brain can only think on certain levels, no matter how smart you are, and how all minds are alike in some way generally, but I won't. My point is,

Do my characters remind you of characters in other books you've read? Who were they? Is it a good connection, or a bad one?

If you could say anything to one (or more) of my characters, what would you say? Give advice, give a compliment, ask a question, whatever! I'll give you a response in-character.

Pick one of the characters I currently play, and fill in the blanks below in any way you want. I'll answer in character.

1. What do you think of _____________ ?

2. When did you last ____________?

3. __________ or ___________ and why?

4. What did you ______________?

5. What's your favorite ______________?

6. How would you ______________?

7. Who would you most like to ________ ?

PART 1: Why did you choose who you did as the PBs for your characters?
PART 2: Who is your favourite PB to date?
PART 3: Which PB have you used most?
PART 4: Which PB are you most unsatisfied with?

( oh hai )

Give me one of my characters and one of yours, and I'll tell you how they end up together and what their first-born is like, even if they are unqualified to have children. I'll even give a PB because I'm fabulous.

Comment with one of my characters (past or present) and I will tell you the following:

1. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
2. One of his/her best traits.
3. One of his/her worst traits.
4. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
5. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character.
6. My plans for the character in the near future. (In the case of previous characters, this question reads as "what I planned to do with them.")

( MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME from micha. )

Name one of my characters and one of yours. I'll show you three icons displaying expressions that my character frequently makes (or MADE) when interacting with yours, and explain why.

Here's what you give me:
1) one of my characters
2) one of your characters

Here's what I'll give you:
1) a letter of some sort written to that character

You can choose a love letter, an advice with how to deal with another person, a venting letter about another character, whatever!

WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME TOM WARREN IS MORE ADORABLE THAN I THOUGHT HE WAS?

I AM OUTRAGED.


But not really.
