you inspire me so much as a svt fic writer when i get scared to write i just Read your works and your posts and it makes me feel so excited to get my thoughts out
Qqquestion... do u ever have any like ?? fear of possible mischaracterization when writing rpf. i always get super scared that i'm writing like the south park pic thats like He would not fucking say that. but at the end of the day well idk if he would say that. i don't know. i get so nervous even though it kinda doesnt matter and i can do what i want its my world. idk. H
thank you??? ㅠㅠ Characterization is something that I stress out about all the time. I’ve said something like this before but I think it’s more productive to care about whether or not ANYONE would say that rather than if that particular POV would approach a thing in this way. Real people are messy and do fucked up stuff and turn around and do something kind to the same person. An outwardly kind person can be a menace at home. What conditions does it take for a person to get, for example, DK to hold someone at knifepoint when he’s literally too pure for this earth?
When I was writing time slip fic, I was so nervous that my Jeonghan POV was bad. (Admittedly, I still don’t love it.) But going into it, my thoughts were if you put this person in this situation, how do they react to it? What throws them off guard? What from their personality that you understand or have latched onto is being used as a baseline here? Then I kept writing.
