Vicky is short for Victoria. In fact, when I first mention her, I refer to her as Victoria. But I still had to figure out how to spell her nickname.
Now I'll wait for the archive version (so that I can read it at one go during some weekend).
I've already sent it to the archives. But in addition to the archives, once I have the edited version, I'll be posting it on my site so that people who want to can read it with the italics in italics.
Anyway, thanks again, everyone, for your support while I've been posting this story.
