I don't feel ready to tackle the Second World War yet, so instead I'm going to try a project I've found myself thinking about for months since its origin in a fannish joke with <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://halotolerant.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://halotolerant.dreamwidth.org/'><b>halotolerant</b></a></span>: a male/male Regency romance.<br /><br />The story is, I admit, based in a fanfic AU idea, but it's so AU and also so much built on head-canon for the fandom that the resemblance is already not that close. At this stage, though, I'm indulging myself by keeping the names of some characters a bit similar to the ones in the fandom.<br /><br />If you want to read this, you need to ask for membership in the community. Subscribing is NOT enough, because you won't be able to see member-locked posts, and all the chapters will be member-locked. I mention this because several people have subscribed to this community but not joined it. I will give membership to anyone who asks. And if you signed up for the World War II novel and don't want a Regency romance, please feel free to leave the community. No offense will be taken.<br /><br />Please bear in mind that what I will be posting here are rough drafts, and also that I've never tried to write a novel before. Gentle constructive criticism is welcome, whether it's about structure, plot, tone, historical issues, etc., but this is not at the beta-reading stage, so please ignore infelicities of language. Especially since I'm trying for a Jane Austen pastiche that's not quite so thorough as to leave the readers needing footnotes.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=speakable_vice&ditemid=941" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://speakable-vice.dreamwidth.org/941.html !mod post public kindkit 1
