This one is set in the same world as a couple of other early 15-minute fics, "Leah's Garden" and "Reckoning." Anyway, it's an alternate America where we got settled sort of on a buy-a-lordship program, and technology has taken a somewhat more meandering path toward modernity. Also, the Protestant Reformation went a little differently, particularly in England.
These fics are all related to a novel called "The Summoner's Tale" that I've been taking stabs at starting for a while. This would be set early in the novel, should it ever amount to much of anything.
(I'm not very happy with it, but I consider it part of my attempts to work out the proper way to tell the whole story.)
( Quiet, Before )
In other news, my computer has gone crazy. There's something wrong with it, so it can only start up in "safe" mode so I can fix whatever problem it has. Except it's refusing to recognize my mouse, so I can't use the troubleshooting programs. Argh!
Also, while I can open and modify Word files, I can't move them to disk. So I can't post "Sir Ron" until I get things fixed. Double argh.
I'm going to start by trying a new mouse.
