Re: Hi, I'm new and I don't know how dreamwidth works?

Hi! Yes, you've come to the right place! Welcome!

I've seen you around on tumblr Fritz fandom, so I immediately recognized your name when you commented on my fic, and I was very pleased!

You guys, I thought I had linked to this piece back when I put together my collation of my favorite tumblr links, but I guess I didn't?? Anyway, enjoy it now. :D

being 13, I didn't get many proper sources until way later, so all of my knowledge is kind of... a huge mess of anecdotes and a few primary sources that I read way later

We've all been down that road! We're constantly revising our beliefs and our opinions as new information turns up. Be aware that even some of the information in [community profile] rheinsberg has been superseded by later discoveries. It's a fast-moving fandom!

honestly, your page has been a goldmine, it's SO fun to read!

Yay, that's what we hoped when we put it together! You said you had a particular interest in Fredersdorf; have you been had time to check out his tag? We have a copy of his correspondence with Fritz (I think you said you had acquired the same volume) in our pdf library, and [personal profile] selenak was kind enough to read it and summarize it for us (which, tbh, is how we know almost all sources in this fandom are propagated). She is a goldmine.

Anyway, I don't remember if anything under the Fredersdorf tag says why we don't believe he was dismissed for financial irregularities, but we don't. :P Lehndorff doesn't know anything about it, and there's a distinct lack of mentions in any of our actual sources, so we're waiting until we find evidence before we subscribe to any belief in that. Citation needed!

Also fic. We have written several Fredersdorf fics between the three of us, some in which he features and some in which he's a secondary character. And to think that last year, he had no tag in AO3! (He's getting nominated and requested again for Yuletide this year.)

The Andy Warhol one? Oh, [personal profile] cahn, have you seen this one? They had it hanging in Sanssouci when I was there.

Pop art Katte sounds great!

Above all, we're happy to have you and look forward to sharing the Fritz fun! :D
