Since you write great Vicbourne fics, I wanted to ask you for some advices. I'm thinking of writing about this ship, but I'm not sure because I don't want Victoria (from the series) to be OOC .
I find your version very faithful to the series, would you have any advice to help me write her, please ?!
Thank you once again for complimenting my fics, it truly means a lot❤️ I am humbled because no one has ever asked me about writing advice before🥹 Awesome that you're thinking about writing Vicbourne! I love that there is this surge of Vicbourne fics lately, shows that we are (still) the supreme ship of "Victoria" even if we aren’t canon😎
The first thing I would recommend is that if you feel like writing, WRITE! You don't have to publish it, just write it down. Sometimes it's easier to write something if one doesn't feel the pressure to publish it.
The second thing, take your time! If a story/chapter takes a long time and/or maybe longer than you expected, then let it and do not rush things. The most important thing is that you are satisfied with the result. Sometimes life gets in the way as well.
Third, write for YOU and not for somebody else. Write if YOU think it’s fun and write something that YOU want to write. It’s of course great when other people want you to write because it shows that you are a good writer but you have to want it yourself.
I sadly don't really have any advice for writing Vicbourne in particular, but I often try to say their written lines out loud to see/hear if it sounds faithful to their characters. Another advice I could give is to repeatedly watch their scenes to get a feeling of what things they would say to each other and how they would behave in your fics. Luckily I feel they are very easy to write and that is much thanks to Jenna's and Rufus's chemistry in the show. Also, do research on Victorian times and how it was to live back then, it has helped me a lot.
I hope it was of some help, good luck with your writing progress😃
