timeline? timeline??? dsljk; I have been putting that off, hoping that I can get by with compounding elements of any revolution and any controlling government and any kind of magic I want into this setting. I don't know if I can write something with characters that aren't modern, you see. I have not read enough literature from that era to get a sense of the world. So "whatever" is sort of my motto on this. And maybe one day I will be serious about this and map out what is and what isn't, but for now I am just using what I find exciting and interesting. consistency is my bare minimum.
Oh wow I would LOVE to write parts of this literary canon they hand around! And Morgana's poetry of course! aaahhh yay!
I think I wrote those sentences very badly because I did not mean to connect Romanian Christian subversives with the subversives that used code phrases from communist texts or Arthuriana - they were subversives under a communist regime sadly and so lenin was a scourge :(
wow! I just read the Amazon summary of it, and holy cow, it makes me so paranoid. it makes me think of The Poisonwood Bible, which we had to read for 12th grade English, where Barbara Kingsolver pours her heart out about how the West just uses and abuses Africa. there's a part in there where a character talks about the World Bank loan to then-Zaire to build power lines, which were never finished and so sat useless while the country was forever in debt to it. I could swear there are actual articles we read about this sort of thing - I'm sure you've read them - I want to find them again. ohhhh why did I quit the International Studies major. it had such good stuff.
WTF OUR CLASSES! It... it must be destiny, lass XD big shiny academic fannish destiny.
I have always been enchanted by the body of the land. Is the king the land or is the king married to the land? I think they are thesis and antithesis. and then the synthesis... the people?
