Vanzetti?

Er. This is kind of a heads-up that I may write you begging/whimpering for assistance with some Roman army details on a short fic I'm writing. ::braces:: I'm kind of writing about Marcus, Alex, Xan, and the goats. Erm. Oops? Are you going to kill me if I send you something insane

Actually, wargamers are an excellent resource -- they really care about the details in ways that I just don't! (In fact, I use my husband's old wargamer materials for my lectures, whenever I need to talk about the Roman army.)

And Rhi? Google is your friend, but I'll be happy to help. Especially if there are goats.

[gryphonrhi]

::laughing:: Google is my friend, yes, but so is knowing who to ask. You, or Alyss (thank god for reference librarians!). And yes. There are goats. ::laughing helplessly:: And drunken Romans, and Greeks, and a boy from Lutetia/Paris who's so dumb I can 't believe a centurion bawled him into learning how to march properly. *And* I think I know how to start it now, too. WHEE!

{{hugs}} Thanks!

[gryphonrhi]

Oh, and I take back the comment about the boy from Lutetia learning to march. If *I* had Xan bitching me out, I'd learn to march too. ::giggling:: That short temper of his is good for some things....

Woohoo, Marcus!

[gryphonrhi]

::laughing:: And Joe, apparently?

[lomedet]

goats?

really?!!?

yay!!!

[gryphonrhi]

Er, yes. Two of 'em. ::wincing::

[lomedet]

ok, so what I actually meant was:

you're actually writing the Xan/Alex/Marcus/mystery boy/goats story? I'm so excited to read it when it's done!

(the mostly monosyllabic version made more sense at the time)

[gryphonrhi]

::giggling:: Oh, that. Yes, I am writing it.

I'll go check it, and thanks! (Nice Squeak icon!)

Probably late, but here
