Whenever I get stuck, I just ask my characters what they're thinking about etc.
How far do you guys go when imagining your characters?
Uh, yeah, sometimes my characters don't ask me before they start doing things I didn't really plan for them to do. And I am dead serious about this. When my stories reach a certain point, the characters have their own minds. I can just suddenly notice I'm wiriting about Cimi passing out, for example, even though she wasn't supposed to. It's just very Cimi-like to pass out on inappropriate moments, so she's going to do it anyway. Or, say, some character get into an argument that wasn't really planned beforehand.
So, I'd say I usually go way too far. Sometimes I get to a point where they're actually the ones telling me what's going to happen next. Is that healthy? Uh, I sure hope it's healthy... I've also never been able to control my dreams in the slightest bit. Not even if I realize it's a dream. Seriously. My imagination is just that stubborn. Not that I mind, though.

I... don't talk to them. They feel like separate entities in my head, but they don't actually do anything unless I'm writing about them, answering questions as them or taking personality tests as them. All of which I do, but just talking to them? Nah. When I'm alone and bored, I'll be rehearsing scenes with them
Well, if you have pokémon fanfiction written, you can check out the Beta Place toUh, I'm new here, and I'm not sure what to do. I like writing things, but how do I get started here?
I'd suggest a body change then :P XD

Geckos? *squeal* I love geckos!
What is your view on using NPCs and lesser known canon characters in fanfiction?
Part b) Is it easier to write about a well-established character, like Ash Ketchum, or an unexplored one, like any one of the hundreds of CODs?
