Froggy! Let's go!

sometimes, it can be hard to get engagement as an oc writer, but it can be equally hard to explain what would help you engage with an oc writer! this meme is meant for oc writers who might like some ideas on how to help their followers engage with them, as well as provide a guided list of potential things that may help those looking to write with their mutuals' ocs!

📖 : more information about their backstory or lore!

👥 : more information about how they interact or engage with the people around them!

🌐 : more information about how they interact with the location/world around them!

🔗 : links for where to find more information you may have already posted about them!

🗣 : i'd like to first plot out how our characters could interact!

🤝 : i think our ideas or lore may not mesh or match, and would like to discuss how we can meet in the middle!

📝 : i'd love to hear potential interactions or plot hooks you're interested in for your oc(s), so i can use those as a jumping off point!

❔️: other (please specify what would help you best!)

What makes you the most emotional about your muse?

What made you decide to write this muse?

If you could change one event in your muse’s life (in their main or canon verse), what would you change?

If you could tell your muse one thing, what would you tell them?

If you could give your muse one gift, what would you give them?

Why do you think you connect to your muse?

What aspect of your muse’s personality is most important to you? What aspect of your muse’s personality do you think is most important to them? Is it the same? Why or why not?

If you had to judge your muse and sentence them to a “fair” fate, what would your judgement be? Would you punish them? Reward them? How?

Understanding a character’s flaws is key to making them well-rounded and believable, so send me a number (and a character, if there’s more than one option) and I’ll tell you:

a trait they have too much of  (ex. too much pride = arrogance)

a trait they don’t have enough of (ex. too little pride = insecurity)

a trait they express in the wrong way

a trait they’re ashamed of

a trait they’re not ashamed of (but maybe should be)

a bad habit

something they do that hurts themself

something they do that hurts others

a reason (or excuse) they haven’t improved on any of the above OR

Because it’s important to think about the other people in our muses’ lives, too, whether they’re NPCs or others’ characters. Send me a number (or the text) and I’ll tell you about:

Someone my muse met only briefly, but who impacted their life

Someone who influenced my muse over a longer span of time
