thisbluespirit1. I had another look at the eligibility criteria for the current ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hc_bingo challenge and realised that S&S is too big and now I don't know what to do, frankly. Oh, well, at least there are no penalties.
2. I've been continuing to work on making a Genderswap recs list forgenprompt_bingo (my idea I thought of turned out to also fit the next door as-yet-unfilled "Conficting Oaths/Obligations" square, so that worked out fine) and it's more or less done, though I need to check it again, but I felt the need to share with everyone here that when I was going through the tag on AO3, I came across a genderswapped Romeo & Juliet fic where they'd been renamed as Giulio... and Romana.
This classic Who fan immediately cannot picture that going anything like the original. (I didn't read it; it could only have disappointed after imagining Four and Romana doing R&J for TTR Storytime or something.)
3. You may recall that I currently wrangle The White Queen on AO3, which led to me wrangling The White Princess and having to watchalmost the entire damned thing it. (I keep thinking I should say it wasn't that bad, but the thing is, it really was. I still find gifsets painful just because of the costumes. I mean, there's inaccurate but for reasons, and inaccurate but pretty (which is a reason) and then there's just... The White Princess. And it was so bad it should have been so much fun, I still want to try and pretend in my head it was. Still, at least the Henry/Elizabeth modern AUs are great.)
Anyway, the reason I mention this is because Starz have NO MERCY and have now made Philippa Gregory's next book, The Spanish Princess, and a brief gifset that crossed my path has left me boggling already because what even is that? (Yes, that is Elizabeth of York and Catherine of Aragon because GOD ONLY KNOWS. Luckily it's a close up so you needn't worry about costumes. Yet.)
The thing is, based on my previous experience, I probably will end watching at least some of this for wrangling purposes. *weeps* WHYYYY. Unless, of course, The Tudors wrangler bites the bullet for me. It could go either way...
(Hmm, I wonder if Margaret Beaufort will murder Arthur and Elizabeth of York as well? Can anyone die and not be murdered by Margaret Beaufort, that well known 15th C serial killer?*)
* I only wish I was joking.

LOL, but that would imply some logic behind the choices, however wrong-headed.

Ha, yes! *giggles* She really should find some royal dynasty she actually likes to write about, even if they don't pay as well. ;-p
