I've been reading about imaginary friends lately and came across some interesting ideas. Hence, the poll.

For the purposes of this poll, "imaginary friends" can be completely invented, or imaginary versions of real or fictional people you know/know of.

And please feel free to PIMP THIS OUT! :D

When I found out that version of SNL hadn't actually been on the air for a decade and I was watching reruns, I cried my freaking eyes out because this silly fantasy life where I was Gilda's best friend was SO REAL to me. *headdesk*

I can understand it--and why it made you sad.

The first show I really remember doing this with was a cartoon called G-Force/Battle of the Planets (it was originally Japanese and called Gatchaman there--didn't find that out til I was an adult and had the internets...). I was probably around 6 or 7 at the time, and I SO wanted to be a member of the G-Force--I often played alone at home cus there weren't a lot of kids my age nearby--and being part of that team was one of my regular "games".

"getting into their headspace"... which for me usually comes with acting scenes out like a crazy person. ;)

Ah, see I don't usually act scenes out. I'm primarily visual/auditory. I'll picture a scene and let it run through in my head. Sometimes, I'll say it in my head--"okay, so Reid does this, then Hotch would react like this, etc." And sometimes I get both! It's interesting to see how other people deal with this aspect of writing/creativity.
