OK, question: So I was at a talk by Neil Gaiman once and he was talking about how difficult it was to write American Gods from Shadow's POV because he was a character who didn't like to talk, and preferred just to stand around and look threatening. Anyways, this inspired the question of how do you deal with writing POV of a character who doesn't talk a lot?
Or, for that matter, if you're dealing with a character who just doesn't get a lot of screen time in canon - I'm thinking along the lines of Cadman or Lorne or Kanaan or Halling in SGA - how do you give them a unique, and consistent, voice?
