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 always imagined Jeeves saw what was coming and made sure he and Bertie were safely out of the country before conscription was introduced... (or that Bertie was, at least. Maybe Jeeves was a spy?)

The angst factor right?

Jeeves DOES resemble a spy, so, yeah, I could buy that.

Definitely going to be some angst - even if they both get out, I imagine a lot of Bertie's friends would have been killed. And of course, things would have been different after the war (it's hard to imagine Madeline Bassett as a land girl...)

I suppose angst doesn't fit in with the Wodehouse spirit. I doubt this would work as a fic idea.

btw. LOVE your House icon... ^^
