Do you use any kind of oc sheet?
Nope, Femie's character exists completely in my head and nowhere else. Makes it easier for me, the moment I try to sit there and get her whole character into one place is the moment I will lose all love for her. I'm developing her character as I go so that I have that wiggle room for creativity with her character. No disrespect to people who do use character sheets though! I'm all for it if you know exactly your character's traits, flaws etc. It's just with Femie, I know as much about her as anyone who's read 10,000 Doors up to where it's written so far. I'm kind of sounding like I don't know my own character here, but I guess it's working for me right now
Do you have certain songs that fit certain characters? Theme songs, so to speak?
Not for my book characters so far. Some of my art OCs do, like Crescencia's is Poison by Alice Cooper and I guess Pumpkin's is the original This Is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I'll have to think about Femie, I'm sure there's a song that really represents her out there somewhere! (If anyone has an idea for her, I'd love to hear them!)

That sucks, though I get what you're saying, I've been at a loss for weeks with 10,000 Doors. I find that just forcing myself to sit down and write can help, though I was reading this book written by a Professor of psychology and he was saying that taking a moment to focus on your "problem", then doing something to distract your mind (like a puzzle or a game) for a while, then thinking about it again can help you to get back into the creative mindset. There are a lot of studies he cites to back this up, so I trust it (even though I'm really biases as a psychology nerd myself). Also, as far as I can remember, no one actually made the fanfic thread, so you could totally do that (just double check though, just in case)
@ranger
I'm happy to do that. Would that be chips as in crisps or chips as in chips like fish and chips though? (Love being that awkward UK person who has to ask ^^')

What the hell are college applications like where you live? We have to write a 4000 character (incl. spaces) personal statement explaining why we would suit the subject and get the right grades for the UK. I mean, apart from the online UCAS application where you have to add your school year, d.o.b, gender etc., that's literally it?? I'm really feeling out of place being from the UK here lmao!
