So, I have ranted about this theory class before. The impression I am starting to get is that this proff doesn't really put too much stock in theory, period.

Today, we talked about documents, artifacts, and how to use them (sort of).

One of the types of documents we talked about that can be vaguely useful, or that at least show how different sources can be used (I am not quite clear on the point, precisely) was historical fiction.

So, guess which author got brought up? Now, I will say first off, that my proff is a fairly old, ex-mil civil war reenactor. he has this attitude that if you haven't done something, you really can't know what you're talking about when you want to write about it. he's very big into living history.

Anyway, so, yes., We spent at *least* ten minutes of class listening to him talk about Dianna Gabbledon. Only he pronounces it "GaBULdun", which is odd. I was the only person ion the class who knew who he was talking about, let alone had read any of them. Totally made me think of you.

His opinion, in any case, is that she is really accurate with some of her details, but someone really needs to sit her down and tell her about guns. Apparently his wife keeps telling him that it should be him ;)

Hee! I hope this has brought you some little amusement for the day ^-^
