yaoifunboiHere is some pre-writing for some stories that have been kicking around in vauge form in my mind for quite some time. The RAF in space-verse was inspired by To Say Nothing of the Dog, in a very distant sort of way. The former prostitute turned vicar has been in my head for quite a while, but it took Bujold and Heyer to find a universe that she fits in.
RAF in space, relatively near-future, battling Celts and aliens who kidnapped them. Perhaps the Celts and aliens intermarried and formed a new species. Brands are mostly familiar from today- Starbucks and McDonalds’ are still around, but there should be new companies. There is only one major commercial American brewing company, BCM Inc.
Book 1: Space opera, about the General Sam Huston, a Texas Air National Guard space cruiser, and the brit fighter pilot who lands there after his own ship is destroyed.
Book 2: Romance between a 18th century vicar and a 21st century one- the nuclear beam cruiser Churchill is badly damaged, and makes and emergency FTL jump back to earth. Alas, its FTL drive was damaged, and the ship moves backwards in time as well as space. The male chaplain falls in love with his regency counterpart, who is attracted to him but is terrified of his own homosexuality, not unnaturally.
Universe 2: The New Regency- events have conspired in some ways to recreate much of the fashions and some of the social attitudes of the late 1700s/early 1800s. How, I will have to figure out.
Book 1: Female vicar, former prostitute, two kids, boy and girl, holds multiple livings and is not resident in any of them, is an anti-prostitution activist at the expense of her parishioners. Hero is a young reformer.
