I thought I'd post it here, because it's something I watch, but it's a small comm, so just to let you know if you'd like to play, or if you know of anyone else it will interest, you can pass it on & help there be more rare fandom ficlets in the world. (They've got a fairly wide definition of historical ya/child. lit on the comm; as long as it's comes on a ya/child. lit list somewhere and is set in this world's past, or an au of this world's past, anything goes.)
I might see if I can think of any Joan Aiken prompts to leave or something. Tomorrow or later, though, as earlier today I used up my concentration and hurt my head by accidentally thinking too much. *head!desk*

I find quite a few of hers are overly religious, and she seems to have a thing about making kids orphans. I don't think I've read anything of hers where she doesn't have the mother, the father, or *both* die either before the book starts or before you get well into the story. Apart from that, I do enjoy quite a few of her books.

Or at least, parents who are alive and nice. I suppose it's a device to let the child have adventures without adults, really.
