Oi, now I feel like an idiot.

I just read a romance review (mostly b/c I was already on the site for an SFF book review and started clicking random links), and spent a good ten minutes after the review thinking I had to be missing something. A puritan, and the Witchfinders, and the book's set during the Civil War. Oh, yeah, SURE the author did his/her homework, puritans weren't anywhere around by the Civil War! Obviously someone's been sniffing the historical glue. *nods firmly*

And then I realized: the setting is the English Civil War.

Oh. Right. In which case, puritans? Yeah. There would be puritans.

*heddesk*

the one no one will get*

* except Windsor, who started at the top and kept going until she got it.

I posted a list of fandoms, though not all were necessarily actively fannish -- I mean, some of those pre-date any kind of an awareness of fandom, so I loosely defined it for myself as "a story, book, or movie in which I spent time wondering what happened to the character(s) after the story ended". The one no one's going to get, I'm almost certain, is the character from M*A*S*H.

( I grew up with that show, more than any other story. )

( ...and a short bit about the fact that there were military women in my family, too. )
