The German knight! I should have known you'd find a way to write Dwight into this! Ditwinus Schroder! Hee!
Author's Response: I'm surprised no one has asked where Michael and Jan are....

OH! If Baron Dimwit (sorry, Ditwinus - I did a change all, but, um...) wins, does he win the hand of fair Philomena? (Over James' dead body?)
James watching Philomena's hair being brushed makes me think of Kelly asking how Pam would wear her hair, and Jim watching as Pam takes her hair down and shakes it out.
I love how James has absolutely no patience for Aethelinda. (I don't either. Ky-wren, please fall in a ditch. I'm guessing they had ditches back then, right? There have been ditches forever. Oooh, fall in a midden. Yes! Please let the maiden (I assume) fall in a midden.)
I like your portrayals of Kenric, Phyllis, and Kellith.
Hooray for more James and Philomena. I also like how James turned into a Foreign Knight, and how Philomena is more concerned for him than for Roy of Nitwit (I mean, Nuneaton).

The whole thing about Pam's hair was straight out of that scene. I considered for a second having him fall off his horse, stunned. But... too melodramatic and all that.
You gotta admit though, that Aethelinda... she's a trooper. Explain to me again why Karen continued dating Jim when he admitted that he still had feelings for Pam? When a guy says he has feelings for another girl and has previously said "I'm really glad you're here" rather than "I really love you".... I mean, Karen, come on, GET A CLUE, GIRLFRIEND!

Ditwinus Schroder? HAHA! Fantastic. This was a great set-up for whatever is coming next, I think. You continue to do a wonderful job of bringing this era to life and making it feel real but not strange. This is truly one of my favorite WIPs on the site. Fabulous!
Author's Response: I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I was pretty sure when I started writing it that there would only be like 20 people interested so.... Nqllisi I hereby induct you in "The Twenty". I believe we have to take a blood oath at this point and promise to be BFF forever. It's a pity I faint at the sight of blood.
