Get on this, fandom.

No, I'm not doing Yuletide this year - I've got enough long-term responsibilities and projects that adding a fairly short-term one to the list wouldn't do anyone any good.

But if I was, I would absolutely, without question, nominate historical author RPS, because Oscar Wilde and Walt Whitman probably had sex once. Which is so, so beautiful, even as an idea. And that is, as ever, where fic comes in.

This is like finding out Emily Dickinson once secretly stowed away on a ship bound for England and spent a weekend with Jane Austen at a bed and breakfast, doing it. This is like finding out Ernest Hemingway finally let his guard down one night in Spain and let F. Scott Fitzgerald lean across the table and kiss him. This is like finding out Gwendolyn Brooks lost her virginity to Willa Cather.

Come on. It practically writes itself.

JUST THINK ABOUT IT. AND NOD AND SMILE AND KEEP THINKING. And then go nominate it, please.

Oh, man, I meant to put that blog post on my nominations poll. (I could totally nominate a blog post, right...?)

Someone else suggested "19th century poet RPF", which would probably go over better with the nomination committee.

But that wouldn't get me Jane Austen! Or Hemingway/Fitzgerald. :P

Historical Author RPS, then.
