Date: Wednesday, January 27th, 2016 00:58 (UTC)As for the question: Rarely, if ever. Real people tend to be very contradictory and inscrutable, in my experience, which means they can come across as 'poorly written' if they are translated into text.
Characters based on real people?
Date: Thursday, January 28th, 2016 05:51 (UTC)There are some things that I've snitched from other writers that fit the character that may or may not be personal to the actor, etc., but definitely fit. Which reminds me that I've been meaning to ask one of my friend where she got Control's love of the Civil War and history. Makes very good sense for him to have that, but I don't recall it being canon. Thanks :).
