TRying to find where to put this, but you know the [livejournal.com profile] cakefic generator? Are you still willing to put new people in it? Because if so, I've just watched some Avengers episodes, and I think Emma Peel and John Steed would be excellent additions to the madness. Incidents with cake would be positively normal for them.

Ebony was obviously a popular choice in 14th C Scotland. (I think I stopped worrying about Scottish names when someone called their heroine Gwyneth.)

And, lol, thanks! I thought they were quite a fun bunch summaries, but you can never quite tell until they've been fed into the randomiser.

And, oh dear, Blackadder/Anne Elliott. captain Wentworth needs to get back to shore right now... ;-)

Well, some of them are just snaffled from the back (although, meanly, the newer ones don't have extra summaries). I've just been reading some of the Regency ones, and the occasional odd one where they drew them in Regency costume, but in fact, it was set in New Zealand in the 1860s.

They mostly don't live up to the summaries. Some of them are decent, though and have even heard of historical accuracy and things. I am just reading them for the comedy of manners, when mostly they are being romantic fantasies and I just have to snatch at the bits where we meet. But I can read them without getting a headache in two pages, so what can I do? I'm hoping if I read enough and reading gets easier and less stressful I can move onto things I actually want to read, but anyway...
