Sooooo, September is Yuletide nomination time. I feel we should coordinate again.
First of all: this time, we should maybe nominated two historical RPF sections. The other one being "18th Century CE European Englightenment". Why? Because then we could nominate Émilie and ensure she won't show up only as an addendum to a Fritzian story, but in a star role. For Example: if we nominate Émilie, Voltaire, Richelieu, Algarotti, Maupertuis, De Lambert, Madame de Pompadour, and hell, why not, Madame Denis, we could ask for anything - happy days in Cirey, (card shark) drama at Versailles; crack AU where everyone joins Maupertuis on his Lapland expedition, sharp little character vignette where Émilie and Madame Denis do not talk about Voltaire at all and yet exchange very pointed remarks about each other, Émilie making a Newtonian breakthrough... you get the idea. If I do manage the biography sooner rather than later, we can also add Lady Mary, definitely an enlighted woman.
Secondly: Frederician RPF - here I, personally, would hope for the characters necessary for the three possible plots I have in mind: Rokoko Babysitting, Fredersdorf & Grigorij the handsome husar mystery, Fritz Gets Captured in the War AU. Added to which Katte because Mildred, and also if anyone does get seduced into joining us after all, chances are higher that they'd want to write Fritz/Katte than anything else.
So, characters needed for this round of Frederician RPF: Fritz himself, Fredersdorf, Grigorij, Heinrich, Seydlitz, MT, Joseph. Might come in handy: EC, Amalie, Mantteufel, Sophie as in future Catherine for the Rokoko babysitting, Isabella and the Chevalier D'Eon for the 7 Years War AU, Suhm for a flashback in the Handsome Husar Mystery (if Gigorij got his job pretending to be recced by Suhm just after Suhm died, and Fredersdorf unearths the truth). (And of course Voltaire in general, and for the AU in particular since he needs to come to Fritz' defense.
