I don't know if I've talked to you about historical person fic, but suffice to say I fully endorse it and wish someone would write it so I could read it. My personal fave that I have never actually gotten to read is Alan Turing/ANYONE. I love that large chunks of Cryptonomicon are Alan Turing fanfic and that is the only Alan Turing fic I have ever read, but I *so* want there to be more. I would also loooove Ada Lovelace/Charles Babbage. Siiiigh
I think there is a large market out there of people who want to read historical personages fic but we're all just a little too squicked by the idea of writing real person fic to actually produce any :(
Eeeee Junkyard eeeee. Have funnn! It's my first time ! Yaaaay. I figured, now that I'm in my last quarter of college, this was my last chance to do it, so I should.
HAVE YOU NOT SEEN BABBAGE AND LOVELACE??? The comic that is. It is like a whole comic/blog full of thinly veiled fanfic about them and much fangirlish squee. ....Most of which is completely over my head because I just don't know much history about Babbage or Lovelace - but it's pretty awesome for the author's enthusiasm if nothing else

Gah, no, I haven't seen it! I guess this is my new obsession. I have just come to assume that nobody's written the historical fanfic I crave because I so figured Jefferson/Franklin (honestly, Jefferson/*. <3 Thomas Jefferson) would have been on the internet since the very beginning but all I've ever found is fics about 1776. Which is kind of the same thing, but like...second degree? I want it straight from the source

ngl...I'm more of an Adams/Jefferson and Jefferson/Hamilton fan, and they make more sense to me than Jefferson/Franklin. I've read good fic of Jefferson/Hamilton before. :3
Lol, I don't think I even know who Frederick the Great is. This is why I fail at being terribly interested in historical fic in general. I'm sure it was all about them though. Possibly he had something to do with the French Revolution?
