Assuming my contextual guess at Fox and Penn was right, I was longwindedly trying to say what Windsparrow did briefly.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The status is NOT quo.
Update post and then I will vanish once more...
I have now graded 23 essays and 23ish poetry quiz revisions. Go me!
I think I'm done. Eight hours of grading is enough today.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yeah, well, I thought ita was saying clearly what I was (apparently) obfuscating. Bunch o' Quakers, they were. Not that George Fox and William Penn themselves were necessarily eloquent on the particular topic of slavery, nor yet that the Quakers were by any means the only group to oppose it, but I figured they would reasonably represent one form of human rights activists that fit in the period in question.

What is even happening?
MG, does the instructor grade these projects in a reasonable fashion? By which I mean, does one get penalized for writing a woman's request to join the Mayflower?Well, as it pertains to slavery, 100+ years after the law Mg is supposed to write about, women were becoming a powerful, public force for abolition, so I'm not sure it would be a problem to write as a woman in protest of this 1701 slavery law. If Abigail Adams could have had John's role in the 1770s, she would have outlawed slavery. Sixty or so years after that, the abolitionists and suffragettes were making common cause.
You know what? Google Phillis Wheatley. She's the first African American to be published (some time in the 1770s). She is a former slave who was freed. If you were to write in protest as an African American woman, I think it would make more historical sense if she were a free woman. Wheatley wasn't yet born, but I think she could serve as a model for a fictional writer.

The coffee I'm drinking is terrible. I'm too lazy to make a new pot, though. So, I guess I'll enjoy my terrible coffee.
