Nov. 11th, 2003 12:12 am*Thwaps NaNoWriMo* You are set in 1899. This means that Bertie cannot have an elder brother who died in the Great War. I don't care what the angst value is. The Great War won't start for another fifteen years. Similarly, this Bertie has very little in common with Bertie Wooster. He does not play the banjolele, and he should not talk as if he's just stepped into the jazz age. Deirdre, you're not a flapper. Don't talk like one.

Date: 2003-11-10 07:24 am (UTC)Bertie finds his friend buried under a pile of books and paper, with only her feet sticking out, and he thinks that she looks like the witch from Wizard of Oz. Considering her... shrewish temperament, he found this hilarious.
Which it would have been, had the Wizard of Oz not been published the year after this was set. I swear I'm never doing a historical again...

Therefore, you're more historically accurate than Hollywood.
