Character Voice with minimal canon.

I'm trying to pin down Andy/Eddie voices for my Spicy Advent fic, and it's been really tricky because I'm setting it after the war, so they're ALREADY somewhat different from what they are in canon, and we don't get much canon on them in the first place.

Well then you're free to twinkle with their voices in a way you think they would change in time, right?

I just want to do it in a way that feels recognisable and authentic to my characters (is writing porn, BUT STILL!)

MORE ANDY/EDDIE YAY YAY YAAAYYYYYY

But I'm with Arwy, you have a lot of room to play there so I kind of feel like you can't go wrong. Though I guess, depending on whether it's set immediately after the war or if it takes place months/years later, that might change how they are? *is unhelpful, but enthusiastic about new fic*

MORE ANDY/EDDIE! IF I HAVE TO WRITE IT MYSELF!

Yeah, I'll just fudge it, but I don't want it to seem like different people entirely. IDK.

THAT'S THE SPIRIT! :D

(At some point I want to write fic for them but I need an idea first and also I am slow and need to start/write my ddsherman fic. So maybe in January? haha)

WELL I am always here to bounce ideas off of/read snippets if you need someone!

Yeah. I'll probably run it by you once it's in any kind of shape. Someday there might even be fucking. So far it's like 1.5k of set up and they're not even in the hotel room yet.

I think that as long as you reasonably set up why any deviations in their voices might happen (ex: injuries, PTSD, etc.) the reader will be willing to go with you wherever you want to lead. There's some fic out there in various fandoms that I dearly love and the characters in it have wandered pretty far from their on-screen/on-page characterization but I like it because they've given me enough background to understand how those changes might have occurred within the realm of possibility.

Also, yay more Andy/Eddie!!!

Yeah, dealing with multiple layers of setting/time/ability change is messing me up, but they're about to fuck, so maybe my problems will go away.
