Question of the day thread number 2!

<< < (42/81) > >>

FrickingKaos:
I got a question: if you could choose a favorite character from one of your stories you've written, who would it be? It could be a bsb or original character since we all write the boys a bit differently.

Sakabelle:
My favourite character that I've ever written was actually Nick in February Stars. That story is old, and it's just a one-shot I wrote randomly one day a long time ago, but I loved writing him in that. It was the first time I'd tried true, first person Nick angst and I had a great time doing it. He's just so sad in that story because everyone else is growing up around him, and he feels so alone, and then when he feels that slight bit of hope at the end... yeah, I just really enjoyed writing Nick in that way, in the bridge between the younger him, and the older him before he got really deep into his issues.

I also love my original character of Brittany in my new story I'm working on. It's the first time I ever did a true character sketch before writing, where I decided her backstory and a whole bunch of stuff. I think it worked out really well because it does make her seem like a more legit character instead of just a random girl who's there to cause drama.

mare:
Yeah, I knew mine was going to rough because I dont really even have an answer for it either lol

mare:
I'll have to think about yours, Tracy.

My favorite BSB character would be either Dr. Rough from 00Carter or Broken Nick.  Dr. Rough is my favorite way to write Howie, as an evil genius supervillain with a Napoleon complex, an eye twitch, and a love for genetically-altered animal minions.  Broken Nick is a drama queen, but I lived in his angsty little head for too long to not be attached.  I love him because he really turned out to be a dynamic character who changed so much over the course of the two stories, not just physically.  It was fun to knock him down repeatedly so he could pick himself back up again... figuratively and maybe a little bit literally too.  :P

For non-BSB characters, I think it'd have to be Claire from Broken.  She was the first well-developed original character I ever created, with a real personality and a backstory and whatnot.  I felt like I knew her so well, I knew exactly what she would say or do in any situation, and when I wrote against that instinct for the sake of creating drama, I knew that too.  That was the first time I'd felt that way about one of my characters, and I learned a lot from writing her that I've been able to use in creating other characters.
