Yuletide

[telophase]

So I've been poking through the Yuletide nominations and comparing some of them with the character lists, and when I hit the RPF* historical sections, it brings to mind some seriously crack pairings.

I mean, really. Boccaccio/Chaucer? (OMGTHEIRLOVEISSOEPISODIC!) Joan of Arc/Vlad Tepes? Oliver Cromwell/John Dee? The possibilities boggle the mind.




* Real Person Fiction, for those of you on my f-list who don't follow fic.

I don't know if I'm fascinated by th idea, or terrified by it...

I've decided to settle for "both."

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

yes, I feel both works quite well.

Whoot! Fictional stalking of people who have been dead for ages. (I'm thinking of self-inserts and OCs, btw.)

O_o I think you can make crack pairings of anything and anyone. Even the Christian Bible isn't safe.

The Old Testament is on the list of nominations. The New Testament didn't make the cut, for some reason. :D

I wonder why. There's plenty of folks in the New Testament you could have twisted fun tinkering with.

Very impressed with your Boccaccio/Chaucer joke.

:D I tried to think of a better word than "episodic," but nothing was coming to mind. Ah well.

I think any story about them would have to be them meeting up and telling stories to each other. Glossing over the bit where they don't actually speak each other's language and Boccaccio was, like, thirty years older than Chaucer.
