Though she succeeded in getting me interested in the boyfriends as well while I succeeded in getting her interested in the siblings.
This is why I love this fandom!
As far as I know, it was in 1737 when Suhm had translated Wolff for him into French. But Mildred should have the exect dates.
It was in 1736 that Fritz started writing to Suhm, and said he was giving up sleep to study (and Suhm quite understandably said maybe that wasn't the greatest idea?), and I speculated that that was when he tried the experiment, but that's all I've got: speculation.
I appreciate the vote of confidence, though. :) If I had come across exact dates, I would have them and they would be in our chronology!
I speak as someone who actually wrote one, though being me, I "fixed" things by killing Fritz himself of.
As you know, I always refer to this as a "break-it-differently" fic. ;) Don't get me wrong, it was great, and I'm forever grateful that you wrote it because it was the story I never knew I always needed to read, and if I didn't love tragedy, I wouldn't be into this fandom, much less this episode, much less the Brontes, but let's be clear: you broke it differently. :P
Well, Mildred did ask for "Katte lives" scenarios. :)
And I'm glad I did, because there are so many things about that fic I would never give up, but yes. It's very you. ;) (I did something very similar in my last fandom: wrote a fix-it AU where I killed off the main character I was supposedly "fixing", so I definitely can't throw stones.)
it's harder to buy completely into them the way you can in a fictional canon whose characters never lived.
Sometimes I think this is why I have like 10 unfinished AUs--I write and I write, and at the end of the day, I still know it changes nothing.
