Character Blogging

Oct 24 2006

This seems to be where I disconnect from the blogger hive-mind.  I’ve been thinking about character blogging lately, and I instantly recognized that most bloggers would be against it.  A quick Google search confirmed this – character blogs are verbotten.

But why?

Granted, in some cases it’s incredibly lame, but I think it has a potential to be an interesting interactive work of fiction.  As long as it’s clear that it is a character blog, the content is interesting and it fits the campaign, why are we so against character blogs?

Then again, I still like LonelyGirl15.

Does anyone have any examples of character blogs that, in their opinion, worked?
