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)

BTW, for, um, anyone who might be interested, the Madness solution is not just precedented but also mod-approved :) From https://yuletide-admin.dreamwidth.org/89653.html :

I saw, and it jogged my memory to remind Selena!

Yeah definitely do this! :D

Stop enabling me! Why do people not want me to learn German and publish articles?! :PP

I'm still sticking to my resolution to read awesome historical RPF fic instead of writing it this year, but I will volunteer to beta (although there is a distinct possibility that I'll be traveling the week before Christmas, so, yeah, not up for betaing 30k this year at the last minute probably)

I was definitely planning to rope you in as beta if this happens. And fortunately for both of us, the draft scene I have is closer to 1k than 30k. :P
