This is genius. How did it feel to talk with them and dud you use audio so you could hear them vs only read? If I missed you sayjng that I apologize. I was so intrigued I started day dreaming myself.
It’s actually a pretty fascinating experience. I talked to each of my characters, and they reacted just as I would expect if they were real people.
One night, (after taking a couple of edibles lol ) I was lying in bed thinking…“why can’t I use ChatGPT like a Star Trek holodeck?”
That thought led me to start reading about other people who had created simulations. I began working with Claude on a simulation prompt, which eventually became the foundation for my custom GPT. Over time, I kept refining and expanding the prompt, and what you see in the article is the final product.
It’s a great tool for getting to know your characters better and for developing them more deeply. This process can be used with any book, novel, or short story. Check out related posts as well I’ve included links at the bottom of each post.
If you try it leave a comment on the post and let me know what you think. I’d love to hear if it helps you as a writer. Just try not to get spooked out by some of the responses that you’ll get from your own characters. 😉
Interesting,though creepy at the same time. I’ll stick to my own imaginary conversations with my characters. This crossed a line for me. It just feels icky like I’m playing god. No thanks.
The whole point of the experiment, is to interact with the fictional characters we create In a whole new way.
I found that it’s given me greater insight into those characters personalities to develop them and better flesh them out in both current or subsequent stories assuming story is still in development.
I see it no differently than I would say a writing team , brainstorming character motivations, dialogue or story analysis.
The only difference is that instead of bouncing such ideas off of another person you’re bouncing off of the LLM.
Remarkable!!!

So is it helpful? lol

Glad it’s working for you and you’re finding value in the process. I may try it one day, just not ready to try it now.
So then how you know? Lol
Did you try it?
Nope
