And here I am with alts to necessitate a clear boundary between IC and OOC. I dunno if it works for everyone but when you know character A isn't supposed to know what character B knows, you already try to keep some sort of detachment whenever you interact with others.
Less of you being in your characters shoes and more of it feeling like you're watching a TV show or something that involves em. After all, you aren't your character, they are their own people probably with just snippets of you in them. And like any good TV show, even if you aren't them, you could still feel for them or something.Â
And yes when I say they are there own characters I minimize the impact of my viewpoints, orientation and all that. If Ramona so much as gets a boyfriend (COME AT HER BRAH!), I will simply internalize the mantra of "I'mco-authoringaromancenovel"and let the relationship blossom or wither accordingly. That in itself already puts some distance between OOC and IC, helps keep the bleed away when they're(your characters) doing something that might be interesting but wouldn't exactly be right up your alley personally.
