A Bunny of Sorts

[lifeisame.livejournal.com]

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 suppose one could say that those kinds of things do exist, but are usually used for comic purposes. One example I usually think of is Roderick Spode being referenced as a "dictator" and all the dictator-related jokes.

Psmith's street is the only exception I can recall... (and I think Wodehouse got a bit more social in that book, the whole American gangland thing...).
