So I've signed up for one of the prompts over at
marveloustales -- "1602 | The Witchbreed. Scotius, Hal or Javier would be preferred. | Gen | How do the witchbreed adjust to living in the New World?" for August 15.
It's not an enormous challenge, since I've been working on a Marvel 1602 for a while now. I've checked books out of the library (on Jamestown, because they didn't really have anything at my branch about Roanoke), and read up on the Powhatan. But it wasn't what I was going to focus on...
I think I can write something about all three, since from my reading has shown some interesting rifts among the Jamestown colonists based on class -- and there are huge class differences between Javier, Scotius, and Hal from canon, and right after the story ends, there's a lot of interesting things to talk about. Especially how Sir Reed Richards and Carlos Javier talked about how there would be no more kings in Virginia -- but I kind of doubt that they'd be all that happy with any of the students espousing leveling talk.
But -- does anyone know any good background reading on the Tuscarora of colonial times? They're not really in North Carolina anymore, but they were there when the second Roanoke colonists landed.
Oh, and if you're interested in writing a story yourself, the claiming post just opened up.
