Announcing Rheinsberg: Frederick the Great discussion post 10

[cahn]

So for anyone who is reading this and would like to learn more about Frederick the Great and his contemporaries, but who doesn't want to wade through 500k (600k?) words worth of comments and an increasingly sprawling comment section:

We now have a community, rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

I don't think he'd have gotten away with it in rl while Mom was alive.

LOL! I'm just imagining:

MT: What's this, young man??
ViennaJoe: Moooooom! That's my private stuff!!
MT: Not if you're going to be squirreling away portraits of That Man, it's not.
ViennaJoe: But you gave him your portrait!
MT: That's different.
ViennaJoe: But whyyyyy?
MT: Because we hate each other, that's why!
ViennaJoe: I'm never going to understand you, mom.

Incidentally, I should say that Heinrich's boyfriend disasters did have talents other than money wasting (and presumably sex)

This makes total sense to me -- I mean, I can totally see him going for the talented charismatic disasters :)
