Man, that is *always* a hindrance, and I feel your pain. Maybe have a bit of a dabble in writing them as modern AUs until you get into a writing stride?

*g* That sounds neat, and gives you an excuse to read Lackadaisy and claim it as research since that's pretty much heavily Prohibiton/bootlegging. :D
