NaBloPoMo Day 19: Even more meme-age
Nov. 19th, 2011 09:56 pmI spent all day looking for my writing notebook, without success. :c During the search I did find a couple of old filled notebooks and a sketchpad, though, and it was kind of interesting/mortifying to see some of that older stuff resurface.
anyway, continuing with the oft-abandoned daily meme...
6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
I'm...not sure? I first tackled this question by looking through my past stuff and counting how many fics/drabbles were written from a female character's point of view and, going by that measure, I write slightly more female characters than male. (I think, anyway. I didn't count everything... /o\ )
However, I'm not sure how fic where the POV is female but the actual focus is on a male character ought to be classified. I mean, I think just about everything I've written in Soulcalibur about Amy is /really/ about Raphael so...I don't know if that counts as writing about a male character or as a female character or, or WHATEVER.
As to what I prefer without looking at what I've actually produced...I still don't know. I generally write only write fic about my favorite characters, and I'm split pretty evenly between male and female characters on that front. So....I don't have a gender preference per se?
I do find that when writing about male characters I tend to write them at...a distance, usually using another character's perspective to explore the nature of the first. It's a bit of a voyeuristic approach, and I often worry that my creepy fangirl is a little TOO obvious, hah. (Particularly in what I've done for Soulcalibur, where I write a lot of Raphael while writing very little from his perspective.)
Uh also most of the stuff I haven't posted publicly online is slash which probably says something about my preferences. Like, I write a lot of porn that I don't finish/am too shy to post, maybe. :P
( the rest of the meme )
