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rheinsberg, that has quite a lot of the interesting historical content (and more coming regularly), organized nicely with lots of lovely tags so if there's any subject you are interested in it is easy to find :D

You get a mild bug for a few days, and in that time Catt's diary gets translated and summarized and his memoirs deconstructed, leading us to re-evaluate Fritz's entire personality, we discover we've been using the wrong memoirs altogether for Thiebault, we turn up other Seckendorff's amaaaazing secret diary, and Mitchell's memoirs turn up with a mention of Katte. And that's just the high points!
ETA: Oh, man, I just checked my word count log, and in the last week, we've churned out 55K words in the comments (not counting Rheinsberg posts). You'd think we'd lose steam after the initial burst, but in December we went from ~100K per month to 200K, and so far, we've sustained that pace for two consecutive months and are still going strong!
I hear something like this and my sympathy goes into negative amounts.
It was SO MUCH worse than I realized, omg.
