The nominations in Julio-Claudian RPF look interesting! Marcus and Quintus Cicero really shouldn't be there, but I'm not sure I care sufficiently to point that out to the mods. (I mean, they might just as easily go into the Roman Poets category, since we know they both wrote epic...)

Also, did you see that there is both A Place of Greater Safety and French Revolution RPF -- with the same characters!

Oh, Cicero and Caesar definitely had their moments -- you can see it in their letters to each other, and Caesar's determined wooing of Cicero on various occasions (which Cicero never gave in to, unfortunately for him). And yes, they did share the loss of a dearly-loved daughter after 46, but by then their relationship was pretty seriously broken.

Looking at the tag set again, there's no reason to think you couldn't substitute the consul of 30 for the consul of 63, too.

I do think that Hilary Mantel wanted a certain kind of story about Camille Desmoulins, and sometimes wish she'd written it more explicitly!

*bounce bounce* I nominated Schiller - Don Carlos, you will not be surprised to hear :D I didn't nominate Ring, but am very excited about it!

I'm the Robert Carey nominator and I'm delighted someone else has read those! (I'm not sure if I'd be able to write it either, though I do plan to request it.)

There are actually eight of them now (with a ninth due out in December). Her historical detail is just fantastic. I discovered them this spring at the library and devoured all of them. I haven't talked about them on LJ/DW yet because I haven't quite figured out how to talk about them given that they are such an odd mix of things I'm completely loving (the historical detail, the characters) and things fandom hates (the virulently homophobic King James subplot in the third book, for one). I ought to try to do little mini-recs for each of the things I'm requesting for Yuletide - I really like it when other people do that - and that'd be a good opportunity, I guess.

I am also requesting problematic canons for Yuletide, maybe I'll do the same! (Not necessarily politically problematic; I have one which contains every trigger and squick ever including multiple dog killings, and most of season one has a completely different tone and largely different characters from the next two seasons (and I mostly didn't like season one.)

*fistbump of solidarity* Yeah, with this series and Punisher and Iron Fist, it's going to be like the Problematic Canon Shuffle for me this year ...

I like the idea of doing rec posts, though. It might be a good idea to start those soon, actually, in order to get people thinking about them before signups open.

I will start doing rec posts tomorrow!

I will nicely ask that people not comment to say that they hate the canons or haven't seen them because they know they'd hate them.

Haha. Excellent plan. I need to finalize what I'm asking for exactly (still figuring that part out - though I guess I can rec things even if I end up not asking for them!).

ETA: You do good rec/review posts, so I might just end up linking to yours for Punisher if you do one. I think most of what we liked about the show was the same anyway.

Julio-Claudian Dynasty RPF? I seriously hope fic gets requested and written for that. Heard that Yuletide is smaller than it used to be, but that's an exciting category.
