The difficulty for me is that I can't get the new version of the character to sound even remotely like he does in canon. The words he uses in canon don't fit with the new, tweaked backstory, and I have trouble accepting something that doesn't sound like the old version as right. I think that the main problem is that I've mostly written this for Yuletide which has meant working very, very hard to keep the voice right.
Right now, I'm letting that one sit while I try to figure out how to rework it. I may simply need time to become comfortable with the character having a different voice than I'm used to and with the idea that the canonical author didn't really want anything that happened to the character to have actual repercussions.
