So I recently came across a subreddit that I thought the Playground might be interested in knowing about. It's called r/IAmAFiction (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmAFiction/). It's a riff on reddit's r/IAmA where people post about themselves (usually something extraordinary, like "I am the writer of Hyperbole and a Half" (http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ozt33/i_am_allie_brosh_the_drawwriter_of_hyperbole_and/) and field questions from users.
The differences with r/IAmAFiction, though, is that you post as character you've made for a game, for a story, or just for fun, and answer questions as them. I thought it was a good way to help flesh out your character, or just kill some time. And it is! Sadly, the subreddit doesn't move too fast, but you can't win 'em all.
Anyway, like I said, I thought the Playground would be interested in knowing about this. Does anybody else have similar resources for fleshing out your characters to share? Maybe just techniques you use, even?
