How hard is it to write Mycroft?
I think it's different for everyone, but Mycroft (and Sherlock, really) have very specific voices. I've found it takes a lot longer to really get into their minds and refine them. Though, I have been writing Sherlock for quite a while. Mycroft I admittedly still feel like I'm working on, I'm more familiar with the ins and outs of Greg so I tend to gravitate towards him more.
I think he can be quite difficult, especially when you're shooting for accuracy. But it just takes practice. It gets easier to write him the more you write him. I still feel like I don't write enough drabbles from his POV compared to Greg's, but... I try to.
He's a lot of fun. But to me, he is quite challenging. But LORD he's so much easier even now than he was a few months ago.
