*has a sudden desire to eat Joan's brain* Eep! Although then I'd have an excuse to get a new one... wait, it probably doesn't work like that. Darn.

Btw, which medieval history? Generally I work on topics in England, Scandinavia and occasionally northern Francia, from the fifth/sixth centuries up to the early eleventh century (9/10th mostly). Within that framework, I tend to work on monasticism, royal politics, women in positions of power, literacy and the transmission of knowledge, blah blah blah. The only two topics that can consistently pull me out of the early MA and into the "high" MA are Joan of Arc and the Black Death. Not together, of course. ;)

And "yay!" to Arthurian slash! If you ever do write some I'd love love love to read it! I'm actually a bit surprised there isn't more out there, considering how popular Mists of Avalon is among slashers (more so than the actual medieval Arthurian canon, I'd bet. Not enough people read Malory or Chretien these days).

Yeah, darn that Tolkien for treating Boromir so badly! To think that we could have two more movies with Sean in them. Darn it.
