Oh, I quite agree, on both accounts. Historic figures are okay for me, assuming they've been dead for at least 200 years. One should take the feelings of any possible descendants into consideration.

I, too, read some loveyl stuff posted to the classic_slash comm. Unfortunately, it has been quite dead for a while.

Umm, make that "completely dead". I've just realized the comm has been purged. A shame, it had some interesting Achilles stories. And I never saved them. *sighs*
