YOU in Your Stories

In Have Kids, Cassandra is so much like me I don't know when to act like her and when to act like me. Especially when someone *cough*isa*cough* is distracting me. Hehe...but seriously. She is waaaay too much like me. She writes and aspires to be a professional writer someday. The way she interacts with Dan is probably how I would be with my still non-existant boyfriend. Now the whole thing with Dickie is all too similar to a situation I faced a few years ago.

And the way she reacts to pressure and crisis is kind of how I get. Cassandra Lauren is seriously an extension of myself. To the point where it's scary.

I have the tendency to place me and my friends in my fanfics and not bother to change the names [had a very irritating experience with trying to find a name that satisfies them] :D so yeah, my name is literally everywhere xp

Michelle in My One-Sided Romance is even me xp

in these stories I'm writing (only one is on here yet) there's the main charecter's best friend April. she's based almost entirely off me: southern, made fun of, slightly annoying, not the best at giving advise, and a year younger than almost every body around her.

also, in a series i wrote a long time ago (rewriting and putting up here) there was this girl whom i named Elisha for some reason, she has the same bad habbits as i do.

In my drabble, Living Hurts, Ryan is me. Gabe is everyone else.

In Headlights and the Crash/KSC series, Gerard and Frankie are a
sick seperation of pretty much my worst qualities into two characters.
In INK, Frank is me with an exaggerated mental illness.

I'm an actual character in my Frerard (Eyelash Wishes) but the story is ALL about them. I'm just a silly little side-character that helps encourage them to get together. Frank's character is based pretty much on me. I put alot of myself in the Frank character I created, minus the self-mutilation part.

I don’t put myself in my stories and I don’t put parts of my personality in my stories. Not on purpose. That happens subconsciously when I write because avoiding it altogether would probably be impossible. I do put some of my own views here and there though.

I don’t know exactly what I base my characters on (except for the persons that are supposed to portray since I only have fan-fic on here). The traits that doesn’t belong to the real life persons I guess is coming from people around me and people that I’ve known. Some parts are inevitably from me of course but I never use my own characteristics intentionally.

A lot of times if my character is shy, nervous, or insecure, they'll wrap their arm(s) around their stomach, like I do.

Vanete Druse is a writer, much like myself, and whenever I place him in school he tends to write while the teacher is speaking and pay absolutely no attention to them...like me...

Dune Trace is really outgoing which, in a way, is like myself. Like, he'll talk to anyone, and I pretty much will too.

And all my characters have a favorite band, and they're all bands I myself enjoy listening to. That was done purposely, though, because it's easier on myself. That way I don't have to research one band that I might not even enjoy that much...and I'll probably end up hating them and changing it anyways. XD

Almost all of my fictional characters have grey eyes, tend to space out, have selective hearing, and are fuckups.

All of the main characters hate themselves and do one or more of the following: smokes, does drugs, needs razors, drinks themselves into a stupor regularly, or does whatever's needed to numb the pain.

But never do they indulge in a sexual relationship, unless it's rape.

I don't really enjoy the idea of inserting myself in stories. I only put bits of my personality into some of my characters, like what kinds of music they're into and such. Or even on how they behave, their opinions, and sometimes on their looks. If I were to put myself in a story, though, I wouldn't make myself one of the characters that would be mentioned in at least ten chapters. :] That's just the way I am.

I was Ryan in Icarus and the Bird of Peace. I wanted to be a bird. I wanted to be everything he wanted. Pete and Brendon were the voices of people who care about me.

Jared Way embodies all my issues.
Like how he tries to be good enough but he still never reaches the very top.
Or his 'seclusion' modes.
And his sudden explosions of anger when he can't take it anymore.

And that's how I'd talk if I was some 20 year old male living in England. :XD

The girl in All I Want For Christmas is You is similar to me.
As to the fact I'm a pathetic lover of Bob Bryar... It just kind of hit me.

Another Jared trait...

He feels emotions to the extreme.

Love, anger, despair... etc. Everything.
Much like me.

EXCEPT YOU'RE NOT A BRITISH NOBLE FROM THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY!

:shifty

uh...right. So I was going to admit something. My first GD fic, (It Wasn't), the few chapters were in fact based on me and daydreams I'd had. But I got so sick of all the stories that acted like Adrienne was non-existant so I had to twist it a lot.

Sonny Ehrnberg, in the story i'm writing at the moment, Today, is basically me. Only male. Gosh, that sounds bad doesn't it, a male character with a female way of thinking. But to be honest i don't think it's all that gender specific. The things we have in common which are evident are that we are both incredibly ambitious and yet we have times when we worry(or know) that our outlandish plans are not going to come true. We have both experienced this newly named phenomenon of 'toxic friends'. We are both dramatic(making a silent drama about everything of course, we are also very concious of people thinking we are dramatic. In fact, although we don't like to think we are, we are very self-concious.) Now then, what else... our fathers are both artists, but that's just circumstantial i suppose. We both have that thing where we have a build up of stress that culminates into flying into a rage, most of the time when alone, that involves kicking things and clawing at our faces.

So yeah. But i write in the third person, so it's not like a diary, and it's not so obvious that its female i don't think.

Every main character that i write has at least part of my character thrown in, whether by accident or on purpose.

in my story fragile, i'm the girl narrating, the other girl is shelby.

Hmm. Well all my original characters are based off of somebody I know personally... and the similarities are strong.
And I think that the main female characters in my stories are very similar to me, but at the same time they aren't... if that makes sense.

Maybe it's that I write them as I'd like myself to be, but I'm really not. So the qualities in myself that I like, I use and the qualities I wish I had, I add in. And then I throw in some negative qualities to make it realistic... I don't know... I'm rambling and I digress.

Most of my main characters in my stories have at least one characteristic that I do, at minimum. But I don't really plan it that way, it just sort of...happens.

in almost all my stories, i put a little bit of myself into one of the characters.
in Revenge, Kitty's desire for payback is kinda like this secret side of myself, the dark, sadistic side that people rarely see.
All I Want For Christmas Is You was based off of a dream I had once.
etc, etc.
