Frederick the Great, discussion post 5: or: Yuletide requests are out!

All Yuletide requests are out!

Yuletide related:
-it is sad that I can't watch opera quickly enough these days to have offered any of them, these requests are delightful!

-That is... sure a lot of prompts for MCS/Jingyan. But happily some that are not :D (I like MCS/Jingyan! But there are So Many Other characters!)

Frederician-specific:
-I am so excited someone requested Fritz/Voltaire, please someone write it!!

-I also really want someone to write that request for Poniatowski, although that is... definitely a niche request, even for this niche fandom. But he has memoirs?? apparently they are translated from Polish into French

-But while we are waiting/writing/etc., check out this crack commentfic where Heinrich and Franz Stefan are drinking together while Maria Theresia and Frederick the Great have their secret summit, which turns into a plot to marry the future Emperor Joseph to Fritz...

Re: Fritz chronological maps, or a labor of love

Excellent!

1740, though--unfortunately--not 1730. I do have the data for 1730-1740 and am willing to generate the map if anyone is interested (it'll only take a few minutes), but it's so incredibly sparse that I wanted to make a better quality 1740-1786 map to stand alone. If anyone wanted to make a real map before 1740, they'd have to read through sources and gather the data themselves; there's just not enough extant correspondence to do it programmatically. Before 1730 is even worse.
