I'm so happy to see how enthusiastically people have responded to this offer. I'm in fandom for the discussion and sense of community, and try to do my best to be the sort of fan I want to see in my main fannish spaces (Dreamwidth and AO3) — someone who comments on fanworks, contributes to discussion, and so on. It's so nice to see that people still want that!
I have no issue with RPF if involves figures who are no longer alive and events no longer in living memory, so your Restoration-era French politicians are fine! I view that kind of RPF as historical (fan)fiction. (And obviously I have no problem with people writing and enjoying RPF of living individuals, I just don't want to read it!)
Please don't feel any pressure to reciprocate — you've already read my Lions of Al-Rassan fic and commented extensively. If you still feel moved to read more, the fic of which I'm probably most proud is The Heart's Gold Thread, which is a post-canon story which weaves the characters of Amal El-Mohtar's 'Seasons of Glass and Iron' f/f fairytale with the stories of other mythological and folkloric women. My other favourite work of mine is Like Bitter Chocolate, written for Robin McKinley's Sunshine novel. This is a 5 times + 1 fic featuring baked goods (with recipes) and supernatural beings.
