ci5hqLast night I re-read Time-Crossed Lovers by Jane Carnall and Ann Johnson.
The first time I read this I thought this was just an AU time-travel themed story (I was very new to the Pros fandom and in the beginning avoided any AU stories... *bg*).
Last night as I was re-reading this again, I suddenly realised the author paid homage to a number of well-known AUs stories. Unfortunately I can only identify a couple. One story is Rhiannon's "Veils of Morning", and I think the one set in France might be HG's "Rediscovered in a Graveyard".
Can anyone please help with identifying the rest of the stories in "Time-Crossed Lovers"?

Date: 2011-08-30 09:08 am (UTC)The Bastille one is definitely Rediscovered in a Graveyard. Could the Madame la Guillotine be Meg Lewtan's Scarlet Pimpernel story? Which I have not actually read, admittedly.
I hope someone gets the Roman slave one, because that's going to bother me. Isn't there a story where one of them is knocked out in a car crash and has dreams about something similar? And wakes up and nearly kills the other?

Date: 2011-08-30 09:58 am (UTC)Fun game, though! *g*
Was it Susan Douglass wrote one where Doyle was a monk? I seem to remember it...
I think Clan of the Aurochs (http://www.palelyloitering.com/zines/leatherandbluejeans2.html) might be the prehistoric one, and A Madrigal (http://www.palelyloitering.com/zines/madrigal.html) might be the Spanish galleon one... As you say, they were in the same cell in the Bastille in Rediscoveredin a Graveyard (http://www.palelyloitering.com/zines/rediscoveredinagraveyard.html), and Bodie owned a pottery in Veils of Morning (http://www.palelyloitering.com/Fic/veilsofmorning.html)
Shall see what others I can think of - some are really familiar (like the monk one) but I can't think of the titles/author... I think alot of them might be from zines...

Date: 2011-08-30 11:38 am (UTC)"Non Nobis, Domine" is the monk (Templar) story by Cassie Ingaben. Although I believe it was written to be more authentic than most (ie more than a bit gritty and nasty and people didn't think the same way back then, mostly because of religion...).
Am pretty sure that Time-Crossed Lovers was meant to be a satire of the bad (hysterical) historicals though. I think there's one deliberate error in the whole thing.

Date: 2011-08-30 07:41 pm (UTC)And ah, thank you! And oh rats - I could have sworn I had a copy of Second Variations, but it turns out to be Variations with the wrong cover on it. Grrrrrrrrr to Keynote Press, for this one top of everything else! I thought I should remember it, from your description above... sounds good, too... *sighs*
I have to admit that I skimmed T-CL this morning when I remembered what it was - so what's the deliberate error?!

Date: 2011-08-30 11:44 am (UTC)For years I've thought Taravan's Brother in Arms was a monk story but I've just checked and it isn't that one but I'm sure she *has* written one....

Date: 2011-08-30 05:59 pm (UTC)I've read Brotherly Love in a zine and did want to read more stories from this author so its great to find that there is still a Wayback link to the stories.

Date: 2011-08-30 10:38 am (UTC)Is the Roman one Wine Dark Nexus? I admit it's a story I couldn't get into and never got past the beginning so I'm not sure at all on that. It's at the Circuit.

Date: 2011-08-30 06:37 pm (UTC)Why is it that I love AUs yet I can't get into Roman/Greek type stories? It's not the writers obviously! I guess we all have something that just doesn't grab us. :)

Date: 2011-08-30 06:10 pm (UTC)It was only re-reading this and getting to the part where Bodie mentioned he owned a china factory and Ray was a struggling artist that it clicked that this was a reference to "Veils of Morning" (a zine that I actually do have and read recently).
