And in this post:

-luzula is going to tell us about the Jacobites and the '45!

-I'm going to finish reading Nancy Goldstone's book about Maria Theresia and (some of) her children Maria Christina, Maria Carolina, and Marie Antoinette, In the Shadow of the Empress, and selenak is going to tell us all the things wrong with the last four chapters (spoiler: in the first twenty chapters there have been many, MANY things wrong)!

-mildred_of_midgard is going to tell us about Charles XII of Sweden and the Great Northern War

(seriously, how did I get so lucky to have all these people Telling Me Things, this is AWESOME)

Well, it's going to save you a lot of time, dear beta/co-author! ;)

Ha, true! Though I'm rather proud of that fic :D

Heh, I'm not really holding my breath for SR to be released in January or whenever the latest date is. It has met my expectations of a leisurely rollout, given that when we first looked at it it was supposed to come out in 2019...

Which one? You helped with a lot of them. :P (I know which one you mean, I'm just calling attention to your co-authoring in Yuletide 2019, your beta-ing of 30k in RMSE 2020, and your borderline co-authoring of Yuletide 2020!)

SR: All I want is to not have regional restrictions on the Kindle version of the German edition! Since I don't want to read my pdf scan any more (yay for improved German), it's looking like I'm going to have to buy the Kobo version since Kindle won't let me. Meh.

:D I'd actually forgotten about the 30k in RMSE 2020!

Ugh for regional restrictions :(

That was the one where I started writing a treat for Selena, and then you got inspired, and then I found myself writing another one, and in the end she had 5 gifts totalling 60k words!

Ugh for regional restrictions :(

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO LEARN GERMAN if all the books I want are either illegal for me to buy or cost twice as much because of shipping and take months to arrive and sometimes disappear en route!
