1. I think 'Captive Prince' is the only other slave fic I've really enjoyed (okay, it's not really a fic, but whatever), and I'm not sure I could put my finger on what exactly it is that I liked about it. Maybe just that the slave was only actually a slave for, like, a week, and so didn't really have time to be particularly traumatized.
On the other hand, I haven't read that many, so I could be missing out on whole genres I might enjoy.
That's a very good point about the female characters! I'm really liking Lady Asher and her plotline so far. I think she might be my favorite in the fic.
2. I haven't decided yet if I ship it or want them to be platonic BFFs. (Or if I would just be happy either way.) I need more episodes to decide. But I already have a weird fascination with Abbie/her sister, who is NOT EVEN A CHARACTER YET, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, but "we're the only ones who went through this terrible thing and now we have a troubled relationship with truth/lie issues and mental health issues", yes please.
3. Nah, the only traumatizing part is trying to decide whether or not I'm having a reaction. There's been a lot of "does this look pink to you?" and "I think my arm is itching! My arm is itching! MY ARM IS REALLY ITCHING!!! Hang on, that's a mosquito bite a foot away from the test site."
4. I think the main problem is the scene I'm trying to write right now is supposed to be from Rose's POV, and I don't feel very certain of her voice.
Could be worse. If I follow my outline, the next scene should be from Hannibal's POV, and I suspect that's going to be incredibly difficult, since I have no sense at all of his inner dialogue, other than it's probably rather different what he says out loud. I mean, does he even think of himself as "Hannibal"? (I suspect the answer has to be yes, because anything else would probably be much too confusing to read, but like, you really could make an argument for him using a different name.)
