A Bunny of Sorts

On the somewhat SERIOUS lines of fanfic:

Something that bothers me late at night is the thought of the time period J and W live in. Pretty soon the depression hits in the US, and I know England didn't suffer nearly as hard, but I wonder how they got by with that? And then of course, the scariest thing is WWII!! (and my knowledge of London life during this time is really limited to what I remember from high school history. Which isn't much.)

I mean, did Wooster have the money to avoid the military? Or did Jeeves for that matter? Or did Jeeves manage to get them both out of it? *fret fret* I'm pretty sure there's ample slash opportunities either way.

>_> These things keep me up at night. LOL, it doesn't make a very good plot bunny for me, but I figured I'd post these disturbing ideas here, in case someone else gets a bite.

I think waaaaaaaaaay to much into historical fiction and real history.

I second this -- excellent fic. *cough* should probably comment on it sometime.

What sort of animal is that in your icon? A mouse or a small rat or what? *is a rodent fancier*

I think you could make the transition to drama, or weave drama into the comedy as long as you were careful and had some good betas and all the good stuff like that. :) I mean, if we can get comedy-of-manners!HP fiction and *N Sync science fiction, than surely a dramatic take on Wodehouse wouldn't be too insane. A friend of mine used to try going at J&W from a dramatic angle; I wish she'd published more of what she'd written, because I liked it a lot.

That's my mousie! Her name is Caramel and she's a little fancy mouse. I've got two more, Merry and Pippin, but the pic of Caramel is the cutest.

Awwwww! She's adorable. I've never really had mice (well, I had one -- science lab rescue, didn't live very long) but I used to have a teddybear hamster named Pippin...and right now I've got two rats. They're called Vergil and Horace and they're the sweetest things EVER.

<3 mousies and ratties.
