Saturnalia & Solstice

[bunn]

Apparently my brain cannot cope with something as simple as managing to post Christmas cards.  Instead it decided to write ridiculous quantities of Saturnalian post-Eagle of the Ninth fiction, including badger slaying and complicated Brigantian dancing.  I don't have a clue why it thought this was a good idea, and I'm not even sure if it intended

That was great fun! The first section, especially, resonated with me as being very Sutcliffian!!

Yay! Glad you enjoyed!

It started out intended as a brief sketch and deliberately Sutcliffian but once I got going it kept getting longer and that was probably the point where the Sutcliffy language started to slip a bit!

I'm sniggering slightly at your warnings "Contains Dubious supernatural beliefs" indeed!

Really liked this story, all the detail about their lives and how hard it was. I hope things got better for them afterwards.

Somewhere or other I came across someone being terribly stern about inventing belief systems in situations where there is no evidence to run with...

I'm glad you liked it. I think things do improve (and become less muddy)...if I ever finish this Isca Dumnoniorum story that I've been stuck on seemingly forever...
