But after the three months, you could in theory write it, right? Because the set up has so much potential! Since Frederdorf would be playing Fritz, not Katte, it would also be telling on how he sees Fritz. And of course on how Fritz sees Katte. And maybe there are things Fredersdorf just could not say or do in his relationship with Fritz because even at their closest, there is still that power differential. But the roleplay could free him to say/do it once?
(BTW, the power differential was there for Katte, too, but in a different way and also mitigated by the fact that FW had all the power then.)
Yes, it has potential, and that's why my brain went there. Plus cahn apparently needs to ship Fritz/Katte!
But as for timing...three months is a *minimum*. Current plan:
1 Learn German. 2 Read Katte- and young Fritz-related materials in German. 3 [Optional]: Write Katte fic, if muses cooperate. 4 Learn French (while reading more stuff in German). 5 Read Fritz stuff in French (while reading more stuff in German). 6 Write fic??
So no roleplay until steps 1-2 are complete. I'm not even done with Horowski! And I'm definitely not at a point where I can comfortably read Katte stuff that I can't easily consult Google Translate about.
Oh, and step 1.5 is "get more comfortable with stupid blackletter fonts," which I think I might do with Stratemann, i.e. interesting, but not critical to understand perfectly.
