Happy Fritzmas! (*) / Frederician discussion post 7

[cahn]

Frederician fandom is the best! 3 stories in main archive and 2 stories in Madness, eeeeeeee and I have only managed to read my own gifts so far (well, I guess Madness isn't open yet either, but even if it had been I wouldn't have managed to have read them) but they are so goooooood

Also, I would like to apologize on behalf of the fandom that none of us apparently managed any Fritz/Voltaire. Some of us, uh, didn't know enough about Voltaire, and we are Taking Steps to attempt to rectify this in the future if anyone requests it, say, next year. Just saying.

I'm making this post because the last one has an insane number of comments, but I still owe SO many comments on the last post and I kiiiinda would like to read and comment on Yuletide stories for the next week as time permits so I almost hope this post doesn't get much action and then we resume in the new year? (Especially since there is a limited amount of discussion we can do on the fics right now!) :D I was thinking of making another post anyway for reveals.

(*) My husband D came up with this :P :)

Oh, yes, very useful! Thank you! I will add this to the tourist's guide to Sanssouci that I'm now kind of planning to collate out of our posts, as of my discussion with iberiandoctor today. :D (Hey, just because she's not going to Sanssouci any time soon doesn't mean I won't benefit from the tourist's guide next time I'm there and need to refresh my memory.)

cahn, just to be clear, what I meant by my comment about homoerotic heroes was not that you needed me to tell you the Greeks and Romans were big into that sort of thing, but that those are specifically the kinds of heroes Fritz chose to put on his temple dedicated to Wilhelmine. I figured you knew the former but not the latter (unless you have a ridiculously good memory for author's notes, and in particular an author's note on a fic called "Temple of Friendship" by someone who goes into a lot of detail in her fics and author's notes ;) ). I mean, he could have picked any heroes of friendship, and he decided to go for the *gayest* (or bi-est) ones! And I like to think that he had some of his boyfriends on his mind, though he couldn't go erecting a temple solely in honor of, say, Fredersdorf.
