Does anyone ever try writing Fanfiction but can’t seem to make dialogue that feels natural for the characters? If so, How do you deal with it? Do you keep going with the plot and come back later to fix it or focus on it and don’t continue until it’s right?
I know this pain too. Some characters are easy enough to write if they have a simple personalty to understand (Harhui Suzumiya, Double-D, Sherlock Holmes and Super-man, to name just a few) but it's often a challenge for a majority of others, especially when it's a topic the media doesn't touch on, try and get into the character's mind set, and check their reactions in cannon to similar events if possible. Likewise i find trying to match their style of wordplay helps, dictionary.com is one hell of a tool to use when trying to find just the right word. Of course, a secret tip of mine, is going over historical quotes to find witty lines if my intellect fails me.
