Am haunted by the desire to slash Swein Forkbeard, AEthelred the Unready and Thorkell the Tall. Send help.

Do it. DO IT!! DOOOOO EEEEET!!!

Or is that not the kind of help you were looking for?



YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

I second this motion.

All in favour?

*resounding chorus of AYE*

[kayloulee.livejournal.com]

AYE!

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

PISS OFF YOU LOT.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

do you even know who these people ARE? :P

[kayloulee.livejournal.com]

Well, I've never been stopped from reading outside my fandom before. And I do know how AEthelred the Unready is, if that helps.

Also, how do I write ae as one character?

charmap.

[ashen_key]

AYE!

With five for and one abstaining, the motion is carried.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

can I trade in Swein/ AEthelred/ Thorkell for Cnut/ Edmund Ironside, perhaps?

[goblinpaladin.livejournal.com]

I see no reason not to do both.

And that way you can include Hardecnut. Any man who's named Hard-anything is just asking to be slashed.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

erm... no, it wasn't, but thanks anyway!

I'm going to have to vote *against* slashing OE historical figures--and that means *any* of them. That's just wrong... gives me the jibbly-jibblies....

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

pshht. you're already outvoted...

[kishnevi.livejournal.com]

Let's analyze this.
Any man who takes his name from his hirsuteness is obviously a bear, and therefore already slashable. So Swein is in.
AEthelred Unrede obviously doesn't have it in him to be a romantic hero in any sort of shipping, much less slash. Unless maybe Swein seduces him.
That leaves Thorkell, who obviously impressed people because of his size, so he obviously has to be included in any slash.

(Yeah, I know that's not the kind of help you wanted, but this way is much more fun.)

yeah, I've already kinda given up on AEthelred... thinking perhaps I'll slash big ole Thorkell with Eadric Streona (the one who kept ill-advising AEthelred) instead...
