Two bits of conversation:
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
aria: I am PANTS at writing fraser
oliviacirce: I bet you are not as pants at it as you think
oliviacirce: but it is sort of a trial by fire, yeah
oliviacirce: I mean, I've never tried, I am too scared to try
aria: well, see, he ... wants to say everything! he is bad at just implying things because he doesn't really pay that much attention to his internal state
aria: so if I make him do so, then he starts paragraphing it
aria: and I am sitting here going "oh my god, you incompetent man! MAYBE I SHOULD LET RAY DRIVE"
aria: it's not that he has a difficult voice, he just has a terrible time saying anything.
oliviacirce: how are you aside from fighting fraser tooth and claw?
oliviacirce: (that is a great image, btw)
oliviacirce: (I am really into it)
oliviacirce: (I am imagining you actually fighting fraser, now.)
aria: (ahaha oh my god you are cracking me the hell up)
aria: (FRASER WINS)
Re: conversational snippet #1: those of you who do write Fraser's POV, how in hell do you do it? It's not a matter of not having his voice; it's a matter of coaxing him into actually telling a story about himself, and then making him do it with subtlety.
