Fic exchange letter: Unsent Letters

[luzula]

Forgive the brevity and lateness of this letter! I've had a stressful few weeks… but very much look forward to whatever you write. <3

The Flight of the Heron - D. K. Broster
Ewen Cameron/Alison Grant, Keith Windham & None, Keith Windham & Francis Delahaye, Keith Windham & Any, Ewen Cameron & Any, Ewen Cameron & Francis Delahaye, Ewen Cameron/Alison Grant/Keith Windham, Ewen Cameron & Keith Windham, Ewen Cameron/Keith Windham
Epistolary Format: Books and Articles, Journals and Diaries, Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Messages
I myself was quite unimaginative when nominating relationships for this canon, but lo, someone else (presumably sanguinity) had nominated many of them! If my fancy is drawn to anything in particular, it is to the idea of Keith’s journals in the early part of canon! I've had that jotted down in my file of FotH ideas for awhile, but never got around to writing it myself. But please believe that I would be happy receiving fic for any of these--I do love to get a story which I wouldn’t have thought of on my own.

Jill - E. A. Dillwyn
Kitty Mervyn/Gilbertina Trecastle | Caroline Jill
Epistolary Format: Books and Articles, Journals and Diaries, Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Messages
I love these two and would be excited to see what could be done with epistolary fic for them! Or does either of them perhaps keep a journal? Is there anything Jill left out of her book?

Kidnapped - Robert Louis Stevenson
Alan Breck/David Balfour
Epistolary Format: Books and Articles, Journals and Diaries, Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Messages
Does David keep a secret diary? Does he cut out articles from the Scots Magazine about Alan? Do they correspond when they are apart? Would love anything about them!

The Wounded Name - D. K. Broster
Laurent de Courtomer/Aymar de la Rocheterie, Laurent de Courtomer & M. Perrelet, Laurent de Courtomer/Aymar de la Rocheterie/Avoye de Villecresne
Epistolary Format: Books and Articles, Journals and Diaries, Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Messages
Would love a correspondence between the twosome or threesome after the end of canon! Or some fork in the road AU – perhaps Aymar leaves the country in despair, and Laurent writes to him? Or perhaps Avoye learns the news of Aymar’s trial by means of letter?

Flemington - Violet Jacob
Archie Flemington/James Logie, Archie Flemington/Captain Callandar
Epistolary Format: Books and Articles, Journals and Diaries, Letters/Emails/Audio or Video Messages
Perhaps one of the characters keeps a journal? Perhaps Flemington, at the end, leaves a letter to be sent to Logie? Or leaves a note to Callandar? Or you could contrive some means for Flemington and Logie to correspond…

Things I enjoy in general: fork-in-the-road AU:s, historical specificity and period language, the way that letters are often constrained so that characters have to hint at their feelings or feel the need to project some image of themselves.
Things I don't enjoy: modern AU:s for historical canons, noncon and dubcon, partner betrayal/jealousy.

Aww, I love the idea of Davie cutting out articles about Alan from the Scots Magazine :D

[luzula]

And then perhaps sending them to Alan, who fumes when the description of him is not satisfactory? : D
