So I think one of my interests is how women navigated a system where they were essentially powerless :) Elisabeth Christine isn't like me at all and I know very well that in RL I might like her but wouldn't find her particularly interesting (in fact, the way you describe her, she reminds me of some people I know at church that I like quite a lot but we aren't exactly friends because we don't have much to say to one another), but her situation seems very interesting to me.
You may notice I also did my best to do her justice in the description, and to be sympathetic to her difficult position despite my personal indifference to her.
Yes, thank you! :D
Well, part of me always responds to people wanting to hear about my obscure interests with a half-disbelieving feeling that it's all too good to be true, but since you're enjoying it, I have to say...[personal profile] selenak and I sure are delivering!
So I think it makes a huge difference that it's history, which is sort of intrinsically interesting because they were real people, if that makes sense. I would probably not be nearly as interested in obscure other fandoms :D Also they are all TOTALLY NUTS! (And it helps that both you and selenak do wildly entertaining synopses!)
