Help! The Chalet School has stolen my brain!
Q1: Given a person who is obsessively reading every Chalet School book (boarding school stories for girls, published 1925-1970) she can get her hands on, and gleefully enjoying them, estimate her age.
Q2: Knowing she is, with equal delight, writing slash fic about the mistresses, revise that estimate.
...
Seriously, these books - and the resultant fic - have taken over my brain. I've already posted the first two I wrote here (Pretence of Decorum and Swiss Mail), and I'm currently writing, and posting on a fandom-specific forum, a new multi-chapter one. I've never written multi-chapter fics before! The people in the forum are really nice, though, and I'm having fun writing it. I'll cross-post once it's done :)
As for the pairings, I defy anyone who's read the books to tell me it's impossible to read Hilda Annersley & Nell Wilson, and/or Kathie Ferrars & Nancy Wilmot, as couples :P
I'm perfectly aware that's almost certainly not the reading the author intended, but I think it's fairly plausible, and I like it.
