Here's a good general one for our #writingcommunity - do you have tips/tricks/techniques for distinguishing character voice?

Lu at 19 and at 25

What do you think would work as bait to trap Lu? 🤔

#LitHodgepodge

My lead character from "Veil Of Starlight", Lu in his late teens. (I used the Tiefling Maker picrew from crowesn)

He has purple hair and skin, with very pale gray eyes. He's smiling broadly, revealing his sharp teeth. He's wearing a silver necklace with a black pendant and a black shirt with fabric flowers around the collar.

Lu now in his mid twenties using the same picrew. His expression is more reserved and he now has a scar over his left eye that starts near his forehead and ends near his cheekbone. He's wearing a plain white shirt.

Oh, I really shouldn’t tell you this, but it would be only too easy to nab me if you set out a Sunday Times crossword puzzle, a jasmine-scented candle, and a bag of kettle-cooked salt and vinegar chips.

Still not really thinking about specific authors on Bluesky, but I do so love this trope. To those of you who use it, how do you make the narrator sound convincing? Like, how do they know everything about the characters in the story and whatnot?

I have only this one as a proper portrait, so it's going to be this one again. Sorry this doesn't give away too much about her

Ok I've done this before and I'm gonna do it again. NecroRaver, and his favourite piece of artwork.

Now... how would you set a trap for him?

Here is Prince Stanisław (Stach!). He loves his family and his dragon and has anxiety.

A mood board for Alex. He swears Featherstaff is his real name.

A collage:
A man's extensively clad feet on the edge of a woodenledge over distant choppy water. A hand overa streaming teacup. A tiger doing the sleepy kitty stretch. Yellow, blue, and pinkfeather boas. A close up of a tigers eye. A Venetian mask. A plate of gilded pears. A thin man in a basic black suit and tiewith a white shirt leaning against a wall with his hands on his pockets and the image cropping out his head. A disco ball with a red boa wrapped around it. A hand holding up a wine glass full of a clear cocktail being swirled and sloshing. A black and white photo of a man leaning back in a chair with a book open and laying on his face. A close up of an open Tigers mouth. In the center, a sign that says 'Alexander Featherstaff at your service' and the faint outline of a hand flipping the bird overlays it all

Only image I had handy! Djilia is the ace, firecracker, and den mother of Aroi House. I adore her XD as for trapping... good luck! She's clever as much as silly!

Fun!
Let's do this one with Noah!

How would YOU try to trap her?🪤

#WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

artwork of a young woman with freckled, tan skin, light brown curly hair pulled into a braid, honey brown eyes, wearing a victorian blouse, a grey vest and brown pants

Her visible ear is slightly pointed, with multiple piercings, her fingerless gloves revealing rather pointed, almost claw-like nails, and the shadow falling over half her face has one of her eyes seem to almost glow golden....

she sits with crossed arms, legs spread and looks off to the side, not acknowledging or noticing the viewers presence

My hero Darius from #ADragonForDarius

What three things would you use to bait a trap for her?
My personal answer to follow...

A young woman with pale skin, blonde ringlets, dark eyes and dark lips. She is wearing red, holding a map, and has a backpack. She is wearing a collar with a pentacle engraved on it.

I had to go with Zedenko from Prophecies. Experience has made him all too aware of how to deal with traps, but he's still very vulnerable to the right bait.
