Welcome

Welcome to Character Building, simple exercises to build and develop original characters.

• Each week, a new list of prompts and questions will be posted. 
• You can choose to complete as many as you want.
• Although intended for original characters, fanfiction authors may also find these exercises helpful.

This is less of a community in the traditional DW sense, and more of just a way to develop writing in the comfort of your own journal. You can either link to your responses on your journal by commenting on one of our weekly entries, or you can make a post to the community.

We use ArchiveOfOurOwn's rating system.

 

You can interpret these exercises however you want. Write as your character, in third person, as an author, or a combination of the three. 

Posts should be formatted like this:
[Subject] Prompt Week [#] | Word Count [#] | Rating <b>Prompt Week:</b> <b>Questions Answered:</b> <b>Fandom:</b> (if applicable) <b>Word Count:</b> <b>Rating:</b> <b>Warnings:</b> (if applicable) <cut text="cut text"> -your entry goes here- </cut>
