Summary:

Stephen Black and the Raven King, from the beginning.

My attempt at beginning to explain the relationship between Stephen and the Raven King, which I thought deserved explaining. The title is an extremely out-of-context quote on kingship from Shakespeare's 'Richard II'.

Also, I now know how to code footnotes on AO3 :D

I haven't read this yet, but I already love it, because of the "Portentous Ravens" tag and the Shakespeare reference! (I may or may not be writing a JS&MN+Shakespeare crossover as we speak!) And now I'm going to run and put the kettle on so I can sit down with this fic! :D

:D

I may or may not be writing a JS&MN+Shakespeare crossover as we speak! Ooh, that sounds good! Which play?

Henry V! It's very slow going, but it's happening! :)

That's one of the ones I'm thinking of reading next (after the two Henry IVs, probably being a good idea to read them in order) —I hope the fic goes well! :D

Nice that you have learnt to use footnotes. I probably need to learn them at some points if I want to continue writing JSMN fanfics but I am still too lazy to actually put any new tech into my head.

JSMN + Shakespeare crossover fic sounds great and the best thing about them is that you can twist the JSMN source materials as much as you want because plays don't need to follow history closely. Do share with us once you are done with it (or are satisfied with it enough to share it.)

I did think it was an important skill for a JSMN fic writer to have :P The instructions are here, if you want them!

Thank you. I would look at them at some point. It is always great to see a JSMN fanfic with footnotes.
