Historical Characters, Including Frederick the Great, Discussion Post 42

[cahn]

Last post, we had (among other things) Danish kings and their favorites; Louis XIV and Philippe d'Orléans; reviews of a very shippy book about Katte, a bad Jacobite novel, and a great book about clothing; a fic about Émilie du Châtelet and Voltaire; and a review of a set of entertaining Youtube history videos about Frederick the Great.

I am totally imagining Fredersdorf enlisting Saint-Germain again!

Biche: Wuff!

Aw! And, hee!

Saint-Germain: third time is the charm!

Biche: I can't understand why in ye olden days, no one wrote a children's novel "The Adventures of Biche" which had her dognapped in the 2nd Silesian War, and added some adventures that had her saving Fritz, and of course the love affair with Folichon. :) (Though she must have cheated on him, given AW got to be godfather to her pups with Not!Folichon.)

It would be interesting if there were multiple bodyswaps in the same story, because every time St. Germain tries to change something, something else goes wrong. "Whoops, wrong Friedrich." "Whoops, other self." Etc. Sort of like what happened in Prussian Doll (or the "nameless slave" in JS&MN), but with bodyswapping.

Admittedly, that would be a much more ambitious and harder story to write, just because of the different settings and different casts of characters.

Aww, somebody should do that! Would read!
