Er, have a Revolutionary War AU ficlet

[cinaed]

pentapus has been asking for drawing prompts by writing a ficlet for her, and I ended up writing a Revolutionary War AU ficlet. And pentapus drew a lovely picture of Rodney berating John here.

Awesome! D'you mind if I link to this from my journal? (I'm trying to explain why I abandoned my Revolutionary War SGA fic -- because you beat me to it and yours > mine!)

Sure, feel free to link it! :)

(Though I'm sure your Revolutionary War fic would be interesting! ...And probably more original than mine-- I stole the whole scenario from my family history, wherein my great-great-grand-something was captured during the war and sent to a Canadian prison camp. Then he escaped, stole a horse, and went home to Virginia. *grins*)

I posted a tiny snippet of mine here, though I'm pretty sure I'm neeeever gonna finish it. *g*

Dude, that is the coolest thing ever! Family history = win. It must be so amazing to have that sense of being wrapped up in the story of America and whatnot (I fail). I'm the biggest history nerd -- I think you should definitely finish yours. It sounds pretty darn cool.

Aw, that's a neat snippet though!

And yes, my family history is mostly boring, but that's the highlight of my ancestors, my ancestor the horse-thief. He, er, also got our family kicked out of being Quakers. They weren't too happy about the taking up arms and fighting the British, you know? ;)

And yes, I love history too. You won't believe how many books I have of Central and Eastern Europe because Zelenka got me fascinated with the Czech Republic. *grins*
