This is really interesting. To do mine, I had to basically figure out who Hoshi was and get in his head, which was a challenge since I can't hear his voice in my head. (Literally, I can't remember what the actor's voice sounds like, which is how I write all other characters.) So that was a challenge. I was worried I was going to be coming at him the wrong way and that the G/H fans would all have their own Hoshi that I wasn't writing properly.
I'm not sure the tone was all that different from my "light-hearted" tone (e.g., The Honeymooners) but it felt weird because these aren't characters I deal with much. I'm pleasantly surprised people have liked it. We will see how A/R goes.
BTW, I am trying to work up the nerve to read your story. I feel like I ought to be practicing small ship solidarity, but Kara/Leoben comes very close to triggery place for me. I'm sorry! :(
