Yuletide noms open tomorrow!
Sep. 24th, 2015 01:17 pmI've had so many of my dream fics written that this year I'm starting with a clean slate.
Alfred Noyes, The Highwayman. "And he lay in his blood on the highway, with a bunch of lace at his throat." Hellooooo, my id.
Shakespeare, Loves Labours Lost. Some chunk of Loves Labours Wonne, nominating as chars Princess, Navarre, Berowne, Rosaline, Katherine, Dumaine. (I could be easily convinced to sub Maria and Longeville for the last pair.)
Jilly Cooper, Riders universe. (Does it have a formal name? e: Rutshire Chronicles) Still working out which chars to ask for; suggestions welcome.
Susanna Clark, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell universe. Lady Pole, Arabella Strange, Mrs Field, Cassandra Parbringer, Miss Tobias. (The last three are the Ladies of Grace Adieu.)
Agatha Christie, The Secret Adversary, Tuppence (Prudence) Cowley Beresford, Thomas Beresford, Mr Carter, Jane Finn, Marguerite Vandemeyer, Julius Hersheimer. Tuppence and Tommy in their Bright Young Thing era.
Emily Post, Etiquette, 1940 or earlier edition: Mrs Richard Worldly, Mrs Robert Gilding junior (Lucy), Mrs Oldname, Mr Clubwin Doe, Mrs James Town (Caroline Robinson Town) "If [the chauffeur] drives in the country in winter in an open car he should have a coonskin coat and cap. Should a footman sit beside the chauffeur (unusual in this day) he wears a uniform to match the chauffeur." " 'Petting' is not a practise in Best Society."
Edit: Thanks to executrix, Robert "Bobo" Gilding.
