As a new person entering a fandom which seems to have a borderline ship-war brewing, I confess I had second and third...

Aww, no, don’t worry! No ship war happening here. This is barely a border raid, really - more like El and I butting heads and then agreeing that we’re not actually angry at each other and hugging it out. We’ve agreed that being nice to each other is infinitely more important than our differing opinions. She’s decided to go edit her newest fic in peace. I’ve decided to do the same, and we’ve both agreed to leave arguing about things to other people because at the end of the day, we’re friends. Right, El?

Those are some pretty respectable guns you’ve got there. :-)

Haha, thank you! :)

I absolutely love your insights into historical...

All good points! I defer immediately to your greater knowledge of the non-queer-history stuff, lmao. Here’s the thing, that you have already guessed: I’m a queer theorist and classicist. Early modern English society beyond what is immediately relevant to my thesis is, apologies for the pun, all Greek to me. I know about as much military & maritime history as the Black Sails team does: that is, enough to fool the layman ;D

I suppose what I am trying to say, as the sum of all these posts, is that there is really enough historical precedent for whatever view a fic author would like to take. You want to let them carry on unnoticed by the circles they travelled in? Go for it. This is the view that I think holds slightly more historical merit given Restoration society. But if you want to play up the class difference (something I am not personally interested in doing), you can find historical support for that, too. 

(but if you want to be accurate, follow the advice of tumblr user @temporal-misfit)
