Today in History of Northern Ireland the professor gave a general outline of Northern Ireland during the 1930s and WWII. There was much writing of Mike's name and drawing of smiley faces in my notebook. (ex: "A substantial number of protestants volunteered to join the British armed services, as well as a small number of catholics/nationalists, some of whom may have simply been motivated by the prospect of employment after the ecconomic depression of the 30s. ^_^Mike!<3<3"). You know you've really become a geek when you start fangirling your own characters. *sighs This is probably a sign that I should resume working on Isle of the Apples. After all, if I do not finish it, I cannot pulish it, and if I do not publish it, I will never accidentally stumble across Mike/Dixie pilot!slash on the internet (or the disturbing Elspeth/Angharad twincest I fear I shall find instead).

More pondering on the Civil War X-Men AU (previous ponderings available in the post & comments here), mainly: Powers, to include or not to include?
I'm thinking I may leave them out if I ever do actually produce this thing, since things like Nightcrawler's physical mutations would be pretty hard to explain or hide in a Civil War-era setting. An element of the supernatural may still be included, however--perhaps Scott and Jean could still have some sort of psychic-type link. And then there's Dr. Essex. Since he's originally from the nineteenth century, it would be a shame not to utilize him somehow.

A friend's response when I told her about your concept: "Wait, Gambit's gonna fight Scott? Fuck, the North's gonna get their asses beat. Gambit would kick Scott's ass, and that's a fight I wanna see."

Gambit gets to kick Scott's ass at Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Cold Harbor, and various other places along the Rappahannock and Potomac. Scott gets to kick his ass at Sharpsburg/Antietam, Gettysburg, and the Wilderness, and, of course, he gets to win in the end.

But yeah, that would be a fun fight. Gambit's artillery is going to blow poor Scott's command to hell at Fredericksburg.
