(psst, you're posting anonymously again below, so I'll respond to this one.)
Fandom: So I still wonder if we can't do something like 18thC European Royalty & Nobility, and explain in an evidence post that all of them are connected politically and personally. However, it would prooooobably still be closer to the spirit of the rules (and more likely to go through as a single fandom) to call it something like "Frederick the Great and Frenemies" :P And, as mildred says, then we could nominate Voltaire! Although Imentioned splitting up into two fandoms below, and I still think this is a possibility we should keep in mind in case there are mod problems, I think we should try to keep them together unless the mods make us separate. (I mean, Wilhelmine counts for both!)
Characters: I agree that Elisabeth Christine and Voltaire are unlikely to be much help for your particular scenario, but that scenario (amazing though it is) isn't all I want to request! :P :)
My requests (that I know about right now): I'm going to say in my letter that AND matching is partially optional. I'd like to request Maria Theresia, Elisabeth Christine, Wilhelmine, and Fritz (argh, only being able to request four!)
Things I would be happy receiving: -your scenario with Maria Theresia and Fritz having a Sekrit Meeting, allllllll the popcorn, bonus points if Joseph finagles the meeting but not required -Anything about Maria Theresia, honestly -how did Elisabeth Christine navigate having Fritz as a husband, anyway -Maria Theresia and Wilhelmine and Fritz in the same room: disaster or BIG disaster? Discuss. -Maria Theresia and Wilhelmine liking each other so that Fritz decided not to talk to Wilhelmine any more: there's GOT to be a fic in this, right?? (I know the most rational explanation is that Fritz is... Fritz, but COME ON, this is what we have fic for) (I don't ship MT and W, mind you, I just... really like it that they got along!)
-even though I don't have slots to request Voltaire, bonus points if writer makes up scathing Voltaire quotes and/or quotes actual scathing Voltaire quotes
Hmm, the more I think about this the more I think you may be right that Elisabeth Christine doesn't quite fit with the rest of everyone. Let me think about this. Hmm, on second thought maybe I request Maria Theresia, Fritz, and Wilhelmine, and make it absolutely AND :D
