cahnIn which, despite the title, I would like to be told about the English Revolution, which is yet another casualty of my extremely poor history education :P :)
Also, this is probably the place to say that RMSE opened with three Fritz-fics, all of which I think are readable with minimum canon knowledge:
The Boy Who Lived - if you knew about the doomed escape-from-Prussia-that-didn't happen and tragic death of Fritz's boyfriend Hans Hermann von Katte, you may not have known about Peter Keith, the third young man who conspired to escape Prussia -- and the only one who actually did. This is his story. I think readable without canon knowledge except what I just said here.
Challenge Yourself to Relax - My gift, I posted about this before! Corporate AU with my problematic fave, Fritz' brother Heinrich, who's still Fritz's l'autre moi-meme even in corporate AU. Readable without canon knowledge if one has familiarity with the corporate world and the dysfunctions thereof.
The Rise and Fall of the RendezvousWithFame Exchange - Fandom AU with BNF fanfic writer Voltaire, exchange mod Fritz, and the inevitable meltdown. (I wrote this one and am quite proud of the terrible physics-adjacent pun contained within.) Readable without canon knowledge if one has familiarity with fandom and the dysfunctions thereof :P

b) On that note,
Yours in haste and suitcase packing,

Date: 2021-09-19 08:10 pm (UTC)a) I... really don't think we need to post evidence for Frederician RPF as a whole; it's been in the tagset for two years running and the mod just brought up a comment about the Frederician tag set two years ago so they definitely have it in mind, lol. If there are particular characters that we think we should post evidence for because it's not clear they are sufficiently related to Fritz, let's discuss and I can certainly do that.
b) Yes I will for sure, that's gone up too now -- tonight if not before. :)
