Meta Month, Day 26: rejected ideas

[mark_asphodel]

Bleh.  Two consecutive overnight trips (one business, one pleasure) in the space of four days has really worn me out.
Ideas I considered for meta month but was too tired to type up this weekend:

1) MyUnit Chris vs Tactician Mark, as characters and gameplay elements
2) More thoughts on AUs and how to work them
3) Evidence for and against arranged marriage in Fire Emblem
4) Child mortality in pseudo-classical/pseudo-medieval worlds

If anyone wants to actually see any of these thoughtstreams, just ask.

Off to play with my new Touchpad.

I would like to see your thoughts on arranged marriages in FE. The first one would also be really interesting, but three beats them out, at least for me.

I would like to see all of the above

buuut if just one 3 and 4 sound the most interesting.

though you know I love AUs too, so how can I pick? D:

Thirding!

OK. You guys win this round. I guess it's AUs tomorrow.

Particularly interested in the AU meta--was writing up something about AU and "canon" character interpretations, which has a lot, I think, to so with whether a particular kind of AU works or not.

Child mortality is Relevant To My Interests ™. I am particularly interested in the idea of clerics and priests acting as physicians (i.e. noble children die far less frequently).
