So I did manage that one page of fanfiction yesterday - hurray for small goals. I do wish I could set a better or more regular pace, though. I'm actually pretty close to finishing out the chapter.
Valerie, as a character, is most interesting when 1) she is the architect of her own problems, and 2) she is cornered into admitting this, somehow.
I'm still in the process of having her build those problems up, as best as my, admittedly limited, authorial skills allow. The current chapter has her showing off deadly weaponry to a child, shooting people for no reason, and advocating for being your own grown up because adults are just big kids really, who absolutely cannot be relied upon to help.
She's definitely thinking of Vlad when she says this, but its coming at the expense of her father, who is arguably one of the best and most responsible adults we see in the show.
