Ongoing Swaps

I hope your assignments are, by and large, well suited to you!

Sometimes you and your recipient are not a great fit. Or sometimes you're excited about a request during sign-ups, and the moment you get assigned to it, you wonder what you were thinking. So: swaps.

If you would like to swap to any other participant, please get in touch before 11:59pm EDT, Thursday 25 September - mod.modzilla@gmail.com. Most swap requests can be granted.

After that time passes, you can still swap your assignment in the following circumstances:

-The request you want is a pinch hit. You can swap to any pinch hit until the January deadline.
-Your assigned recipient has an incomplete letter. You are welcome to swap to another recipient, whether they are a pinch hit or not, until the January deadline.

I think I've responded to all the swaps requests I've received so far - please contact me again if I've missed replying to you.

FIC: Historian's room (Tempestuous Tours)

Most of the official documents of the Koretian government are locked away or in active use, but the outer chamber of the historian's room boasts a magnificent chart of the bloodlines of the previous rulers of Koretia. You will see that there are two main bloodlines; both were cut off by wartime casualties, although the last surviving direct descendant of the second line died surprisingly recently. See the section of this book on Valouse for more details.

The Jackal's previous bloodline is unknown, but the Koretian ruler has established a new bloodline by selecting a young kinsman as his heir. The kinsmanship is dually established through a wardship and through a blood-brotherhood of an earlier generation.

[Translator's note: With his usual reticence, the Ambassador fails to cite plainly his own connection to Koretia's royal line. That connection is mentioned often in Empty Dagger Hand.]

FFA DW Post #2358- Hit a verb in 15 minutes, Cicero, or I'm allowed to overthrow the Roman Republic.

That explains a lot about 410 CE, tbh.

Exactly. Goths sacking Rome going "we have been waiting for a verb for 450 years, what do you mean he's fucking dead???"
