This here will be our general thread for exploring Character Consistency and Credibility (believability) through December. There will be a second thread for Character Development discussion in January.
I wanted to start off by asking what character consistency in fan fiction means to you? Everyone I'm sure has a slightly different definition. What traits about a character make them so obvious that when you read a quote by them, you know who said it even if the speaker isn't specified in context? (Such as: "Do or do not, there is no try." Many people, even outside the Star Wars fandom, know this to be Yoda speaking because he uses a specific dialect.)
