Heh...I'm just sneaky...Wait until Elseworlds 5: A Samurai of Ghosts and
Shadows is ready...Now there's disguised history :)
>Just a couple of small points that
popped into my head. One, not everyone know's the legends of Camelot as
well as you seem to know (mainly me...:I). You may be forced to do some
explaining of these myths to fill some of your readers, but this can also
take away from the story.
Well, most people know the basic framework...I think :) I could be
deluded about that...Sure not everyone's seen Excalibur 6 times like me,
though :)
You may want to do a small preview, introducing
some of the Aurthian legend's, maybe have Ami attend a class that is
lecturing about Camelot.
I decided to start right in with the action...I'll be explaining things
as I go along, and I didn't want to try and disguise a lecture as plot
:)...I ramble too easily.
Another point is where would this Camelot fit
into the normal SM timeline, as I'm sure Usagi/Serenity weren't
reincarnated before they met in Tokyo. The last point can be explained
away, but you might want to give some thought to the first point....
An alternate time line...or perhaps time is a wheel, and this is the far
distant future...
I'll think about it.
