Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 40

[cahn]

I'm trying to use my other account at least occasionally so I posted about my Yuletide gifts there, including the salon-relevant 12k fic that features Fritz, Heinrich, Voltaire, Fredersdorf, Saint Germain, Caroline Daum (Fredersdorf's wife), and Groundhog Day tropes! (Don't need to know canon.)

Re: Euler and Fritz

That is unfortunately very true. The author is the driest. Somewhere, I suspect Voltaire is smirking that OF COURSE Maupertuis' life is told in a much more boring fashion than his, but then I remind him of that awful boring novella. :)

Voltaire: Yes, but that was because the novella was not accurately portraying me! MY bio was much more interesting! *smirks some more*

True facts! Orieux is still on my list for future French practice.
