Lol I don't think I can possibly handle Unsent Letters (I only completed my Candy Hearts assignment by the skin of my teeth ) but this makes me want to try!

He'd have been aware this would anger most of the other noble families, but at this point, he was feuding with many anyway, so this would have been a feature, not a bug

LOLOLOL! (But the whole thing is great.)

I'm not sure whether I can do Unsent Letters, either, but then again just in case I did nominate the Josephus Trilogy characters in addition to 18th Century people, I'll have you know. In case someone wants to write missing Joseph/Justus letters. Or something. (BTW, the only relationship I didn't manage to squeeze in was Berenice of Cilicia & Antonia Caenis, because I nominated Mara with several other women. In case you want to nominate as well, is all I'm saying.

I wonder if we can talk skygiants into a Josephus fandom for Yuletide!

...you know what, we should totally nominate and also write a promo post. I bet between the three of us we could get someone else to read it.

We absolutely should do that for next Yuletide! If both you and skygiants got your hands on the books, they seem to be available in US libraries and thus for reading.

Yes! Possibly only at middling-to-large library systems, but seems like they are around!

Amazon also seems to carry them for kindle for an expensive but not totally out-there price.
