morgynleriStill have not remembered to do some editing on short stories that I need to get done. However, have gotten nearly 2k done on Admit Me, Chorus to This History today, and have advanced it most of another year's worth of time. Still have a few more events to cover before it's done, but I don't think that will take too much more. I've still up to 5k to bring it up to a chapter-length, but I'm not likely to take that many words to cover the rest, as it's now to February 1421 (which means just over two years to the end point in time, and only... *counts on her fingers* five deaths and two coronations to go).
I'm going to try to work on it again when I get home, and tomorrow morning. Once I wrap up the current segment, the rest I'll use the Chorus POV to finish up, and wrap up all the deaths and the coronations with that. And then I'll send the last chapter in one file to my beta, and the entire story in its file, and once it's back from her, post the last of it, make all chapters and the chapter index accessible to all, and announce it. And probably post it in whatever coms I can find to do so.
And then I start seeing how fast Love Is a Muse All Compact of Fire (Margaret's story) and No King of England If Not King of France (Robert's story) will write. And prod at the other alternate history, which I need to get more than scraps of story out of muses for. *puts fists on hips, and glares at Henry* At least he won't have this as an excuse not to play nice with the other one.
In a tangent, having acquired Branagh's Henry V on DVD so I might watch it properly filling my screen... I think I can identify all six of the men on one side of the chamber in that first scene with Henry, and four on the other side...
From the throne to furthest away:
Henry's right: Exeter, Westmoreland, Erpingham, York, Cambridge, Gray
Henry's left: Ely, Gloucester, Bedford, Scroop, and two unidentified men*
*one of whom should be Clarence... probably the one on the end, since he's the blond of the two I can't identify, save for the fact he wears no arms to identify him by in the scene with the traitors - though, he's not in the Agincourt scenes, which supports the idea he's possibly Clarence, rather than Talbot, who is the other possibility. The darker-haired of the two I can't be sure of may be Warwick, considering his apparent age, and that I think I spotted him in the Agincourt scenes.
Though, I do wonder why Scroop is dressed in similar fashion to Gloucester and Bedford, and if the blond on the end is Clarence, why he's dressed less well. *sighs, and mutters irritably*

Thomas' absence is odd, he should have been there as Henry's heir - but of course he and Henry really didn't get on. Families, eh?

Date: 2011-09-22 04:04 am (UTC)Thomas' absence is odd in more than just he's Henry's heir at the time - but also that Henry tended to keep him closer than either Bedford or Gloucester. Mostly because Clarence was better under supervision than not, but still. :)
I'm going to see if I can get Admit Me finished by the weekend, so I can get the last chapter (all hopefully 9k of it) off to you, and then the full story file (33405 at the moment, projecting 37-38k total) once you've a chance to look over the last chapter....
Or I can send you up through the last finished scene now, and send you the second half of the chapter when I'm finished (a majority of which is likely to be from James' POV so I can readily gloss over the last two years).

Our Henry didn't trust him an inch; in fact he went to great pains to keep him away from power. John was left at home as regent on the Agincourt campaign, and Thomas was taken, but was soon 'invalided' home where he would be under John's jurisdiction. And Thomas was a long way down the list of beneficiaries of Henry's will. No love lost there at all!

... in an utterly random, and mostly unrelated note, I need to upload more icons...
