detailed writer prompts

what sociocultural factors of your own life do you think influenced your choice of character and how you play them?

what is more important to you, narrative or style? if so, why, and how do you think you portray that in your writing?

what iconography (symbols/images/motifs/etc.) do you associate with your character and why? how do you portray this in your writing? 

without using your fc, describe your character physically - not just looks but also movement, posture, etc. 

do you think your chosen fc could play your character the way you write them? if not, what changes do you think would have to be made? 

let’s say someone else was going to write your character - what are the main points of their personality that you would tell the other writer to focus on? what about outside of that? images/symbols/moments in their life/etc. 

what sort of medium do you think your character is best suited for (literature/film/graphic novel/etc.) ? if they are a canon, do you think there’s a medium that fits the character better than their current one?

what writers influenced the way that you yourself write? how so? are there any that influenced you negatively? 

when you see a partner’s response to a thread, what are common misconceptions/assumptions you see other characters making about yours? is that purposeful? 

how do you think your character fits into your view of society? do you see them as a social critique? a celebration of certain societal values? 

what mythic deity do you think best embodies the core values of your character? how so? 

what is your character’s ideology? what beliefs and values are most important to them and how do they impact their decision making? 

how has your character’s socioeconomic background influenced their ideology?

do you see your character/their narrative as allegorical? if so, how do you attempt to portray this through your threads? if not, do you think that the lack of allegorical symbolism says anything about their metaphorical meaning? 

for canons: do you think your character is a foil for another character? how so? 

for ocs: what does your character metaphorically represent to you? what is their symbolic value as it pertains to you as a writer?
