So, it's that time of the year again, and despite our general business and still glowing from RMSE, I would like to hash out nominations with fellow salon members, and not just in 18th century matters. For you see, when reading up on Charles V. et all these last months, the wish to write about some of these awesome ladies that keep showing up - the three Margarets (of York, of Austria, of Parma), and Barbara Blomberg (she who defended her wine, men and song widowhood life style succcesfully against the Duke of Alba and Philip of Spain) grew and grew and grew. And cahn, you said you'd love to read about Barbara squaring off against Alba. I even pondered a good moniker for the fandom that would allow these ladies to be entered and wouldn't be too general for Yuletide, and thought: 16th Century Habsburg RPF should do it. What do you think?
If four characters per nominator are still allowed, I would nominate two of the Margarets - Austria and Parma -, Barbara Blomberg, and Charles V. If one of you aided me by nominating Philip of Spain, Juan d'Austria, the Duke of Alba and Juana the maybe or maybe not mad but definitely doomed, that would be lovely, and allow requests for all types of messed up family encounters for me. I realize this is is entirely selfish of me, but would in turn offer to nominate characters in a fandom of your choice.
Now, re: Fredericians - here I plots I still want to tackle at some point:
- Bodyswitch tale (either Fritz and Madame de Pompadour, with Voltaire and Émilie co-starring, or Fritz and Heinrich would be fun, though I'm currently more drawn to the Fritz/Pompadour switch on account of how this would give both parties a very good reason to switch back in the end, and would allow me to write an Émilie in the position to blackmail Fritz-as-Pompadour into making Louis XV change the rules to allow female Academy members before she helps him to get his body back, and tense three way sarcasm between Fritz, Voltaire and Émilie.
- Alternate first encounter between Fritz and Fredersdorf at Frankfurt for Christmas
- Voltaire to the rescue AU
- Rokoko babysitting fic
This would mean nominating Fritz, Voltaire, Fredersdorf, Pompadour, and one of you also nominating Émilie and Heinrich. Other nominations for plots you want to write/read more than very welcome! One which I would use as a prompt for someone else to write and for me to request, for example, should Wilhelmine and MT be among the nominated characters would be the Wilhelmine & MT lunch of legend. Just the lunch. Or, if someone nominates FW, I'd ask for the FW/G2 Duel that happens AU. Or the Murder at the Wusterhausen Express AU. :)
