also, what is it about RPF writers breaking Fritz and Voltaire up in the Hereafter? [...] any Fritz (in whichever ghostly state) who's ready to give up Voltaire for good is ooc for me. :)
Lol! How I imagine Fritz in all of these afterlife RPFs:
Fritz: Good riddance to that conceited bastard. These other writers are way more awesome, anyway! [Five minutes later]: Lessing and Menzel, let me read you this thing Voltaire wrote. Isn't he the absolute WORST? [shouts through the ether] Hey Voltaire, you know you can come back anytime!
Yes indeed! BTW, Menzel was less than thrilled to receive a poem speculating about his death on his 70th birthday, getting Voltaire's seat at Fritz' table round or not. Which in turn surprised Fontane (hey, he'd written "not now, after as many year as he wants"! Also, who wouldn't want to spend the afterlife with Fritz & friends!)
Algarotti: I'm already spending part of my afterlife with Lady Mary and Lord Hervey, courtesy of that Hervey biographer. These trips to the free thrinking Franco-Prussian sector of hte afterlife are exhausting!

Pff. Says the man whose life took him from Venice to Rome to Venice to Bologna to Venice to Padua to Bologna to Florence to Rome to Paris to Cirey to London to Cirey to Venice to to Paris to London to St. Petersburg to Danzig to Dresden to Leipzig to Potsdam to Berlin to Rheinsberg to Hamburg to London to Berlin to Turin to Berlin to Silesia to Dresden to Berlin to Dresden to Venice to Berlin to Bologna to Berlin to Venice to Bologna, before finally moving to Pisa to die. :P I imagine he's traveling all over the afterlife!
