Why this must be read:

My apologies for lack of recs in the last couple of weeks. R/L is a pain sometimes. I promise to try to catch up a little in the remaining week.

This one’s a quickie but, as it pokes a little fun at the many “hysterical historicals” in Bodie/Doyle fan writing, it is still in tune with the general theme I intended to develop this month: the premise, which is not to be taken too seriously, is that Bodie & Doyle have lived many, many lives and have always found their fates intertwined. There is a deliberate mistake in one paragraph – if you want to find out, read behind this link:

I figured it out for myself, but had it confirmed later by one of the authors on Pros_Lit (Yahoo Groups): it’s the part of the story set in the Bastille. At the time (very vague in the story, but presumably sometime between the period around the Battle of the Heights of Abraham in 1759 and the storming of the Bastille in 1789) there were very few prisoners in the Bastille, and they were all housed in single cells, so they would not have been put in one together.

It’s good fun.
