forget your Unified Theory of Everything

Guys, I did something crazy! My computer was just broken for like almost a month. Er . . . so that's one reason I haven't been around. The other reason is I've been taking the crack pills. Apparently, because I just created this: 19thc_exchange. And then I posted the following message at like a bajillion places. Okay, like 5. But what is wrong with me? Why I am I doing this? Why can't there just be good North and South fanfiction without Mr. Thornton committing rape without yelling surprise, and without Margaret bursting into tears every other second? Why why why? Okay, here's the message I posted. I guess you guys can read it. ;o) :

19thc_exchange is a fic exchange for fanfic based on period dramas. “Period dramas” includes literature written during the 19th century in any part of the world; movies, television shows, and mini-series based on that literature; and original movies, television shows, and mini-series set during that time. Here is an overview of the purpose of 19thc_exchange.

Exchanges will occur in rounds, and each round will have a theme. One theme may be an author; the fics exchanged will only be relevant to that author’s work. One theme may be young adult period literature and media. One theme may be non-English speaking countries. Etc etc.

The first round is Jane Austen. Read more about it here.

If you are interested in exchanging Jane Austen fic, or other period drama fic in the future, join the comm. The sign up post for Round One goes up March 23rd, 12:00 AM PST.

Please pass the word along to anyone you think might be interested. I am currently looking for people to make banners in order to advertise both 19thc_exchange and Round One. If you are interested, please contact me, or reply to a post at 19thc_exchange.
