Re: the latest OW comic, you said you didn’t like it because it all sounded like one voice/speaker. I was wondering if you have any advise on how to keep the voices of characters distinct. You manage this so well in your fics, but thinking on this comment made me realize it’s not something I’ve consciously thought about when I write, so I’m not sure how to make sure and do this in the future.

Yeah this was my Major and Compelling Problem with the latest comic, that everyone sounded the same, and you couldn’t tell the difference from character to character (to me, they all sounded like Jack, but that’s my own character read and the comic got funny to me when I just thought of it as Jack just retelling the story the way he remembers it  and Lena being like “I ‘ave never sounded like that, ever, in my life.”)

ANYWAY (long ass advice under the cut)
