Just a random question that might get some discussion going:

How do you get to know/create your characters when writing about them?

This can apply to both original characters or canon ones because everyone has their own spin on who Lois is or who Clark is.

For me, physicality is a big clue. Not only how a character looks, but how they inhabit their body. How they move across the room, how they would sit, etc.

Also, I tend to ask myself really random questions about the character.

If they were forced to get a tattoo, what would it be of? What is the one thing you should never say to them, under any circumstances? And how would they react if you said that to them?

Anyone else want to share?
