No i will take the dare and write a whole page without me having to use the letter A, which taken a few minutes to do that!
Truth: have you ever written something your characters told you that they loved or wanted in your novels!
Dare: write for five minutes with a first line of a favorite poem from one of your favorite poet authors!

I'll go with truth, because I instantly remembered that at the start of April Toby pestered me for days trying to get me to let him kiss Sachiko. My characters are real. They scare me sometimes... Truth: Do your characters seem real as you're writing about them? Dare: set your music to random and make up a character based on the second song that plays.

Dare. It was this song about a drug addict trying to quit, so I made this character that is really real but doesn't fit into my story.
Darian.
When he was a teen, his dad died because of a mafia hit. Darian became depressed, and started taking drugs. Eventually his girlfriend left him because he found drugs more important. Darian was heartbroken and decided to kill off drugs. Now, Darian is determined to destroy the drug ministry with his god-like hacking skills and find his girlfriend.
Truth: How many characters have you wanted to kill, tried to kill but he/she somehow managed to defy death again, or plain killed off? (Total amount please) Dare: Write a letter to your character. AND post it on here.

Truth, because...
Letters? What? Er... no. They should, though. Quit all this txting and write something a bit longer, guys! This is just plain lazy!
Truth: Have you ever turned the bad guy into one of the good guys?
Dare: Make one of your characters eat something horrible-tasting in the next scene!

Do you mean the scene where I read over it and wonder why I call myself a writer or the scene that leaves me crying over the keyboard and my characters wanting to murder me?
If the former, there's probably hundreds of them and no way I could pick one. The one in my vampire story Fangs where pretty much every character got a turn at POV was pretty special, though.
If the latter, I'll go with the end of April Fools - the death of Sachiko left me and Toby both shattered and it's taken us both a fair while to pick up the pieces and go on with the story.
I would have gone for the dunking, but it's winter here, dude. Cold water is a serious business right now. Anyway...
Truth: Confess the most painful scene you've ever written.
Dare: Make your MC kiss someone random. Post the scene in your PPT.

I will take truth the most painful seen i have ever written was the abuse between the stepmother and her stepdaughter Hannah. Who she is alone with her sisters until she is told by the hunter to run and hide deep in the forest to never return.
Truth: Have you ever wrote an annoying character in your novel?
Dare: Write a scene where your he/she main character fights with the annoying character?

Hmm... well, I'm already writing a scene where my two main characters fight. Things are difficult between them at the moment - the 10 or so year age gap is big enough to make him think he should be a father figure, but small enough that she's starting to think of him as a love interest. I don't know if that counts for the dare, though, because although Chrissie constantly describes herself as a pain in the neck I actually really like her.
As far as dares, though... Well, in Feb/March I had a character I deliberately set out to make as annoying as possible, to the extent that until I figured out that his name was Taran I nicknamed him 'Annoyling'. He improved a lot over the course of the story, though.
Or I could talk about my first attempt at my JulNo, in which FMC was so annoying that I restarted the story just to get away from her. Then in my second attempt she was still annoying enough that now I've made a whole heap of changes to her character and if I was less busy I'd be making a third attempt at the story. I'd dump it entirely, but I really like MMC. That's Starburn, by the way. Everyone probably knows how I feel about him by now...
Truth: Have you ever come up with a character or story after hearing a song on the radio?
Dare: Try to write 10k in a day!

I have not written 500 words today. I will TRY to write 500 words today! I watch my niece for 12 hours today. 13 mth olds don't let a gal sit still for long!

Pick someone that really makes your life miserable and kill him/her off in the most painful way possible! With glee! I'm taking my own dare! Stress relief...
