What I mean is that original characters are the most peculiar things, because I know they didn't exist before I created them, yet they feel more like I *discovered* them? They have layers and issues and problems and personalities and background stories and most of all they DEMAND to be written. SO strange. And I could talk about them forever...
That's interesting, and very true =) It's like they're born from you, not just put together. They're beings =) What kind of original stories/characters do you usually write? Just curious.
