First thing you do is ask yourself "does this character have a distinct voice I can accurately emulate in a TVT article?"

Second thing you do is ask yourself "Really, does he/she?"

Then go to SelfDemonstrating.Character Pages and read up.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

First you decide if the character is worth a self demonstrating article. I think there's been a ban, or at least strict requirements on those for a while now because they got out of hand for characters who didn't really need them.

See SelfDemonstrating.Character Pages for more info

Edit: probably worth paying attention to is that two people told you nearly exactly the same thing within 30 seconds of each other.

Alright, but how do I go about it? Do I, say, make a link to a SD page that doesn't actually exist, then make that page? Remembering to use a character I can actually emulate without breaking the requirements, of course.

If you specify who you're creating it for I can link to the correct place.

Having said that, the Hive Mind isn't really in favor of new self-demonstrating pages these days. Some time back we zorched the majority of them. Be aware there's a good chance it will be deemed that we don't need the page.

You might consider drafting it on the Trope Launch Pad so you can get a feel for whether it's likely to survive.
