[regshoe]

What is right and what is wrang, a short sword and a lang, a weak arm and a strang for to draw...

Welcome back to the read-along! This week's chapters are getting a bit more serious, historically and for our characters...

Next week we'll read the first two chapters of Part II.

Ah, I see! I have occasionally felt weird about seeing modern-day RPF about Swedish people--maybe because it's so uncommon, and felt surprising and close to home. Otherwise, there's not really a lot of fic set Sweden that I've come across.

One of my other main fandoms has some important parts set near where I grew up, and I find both the canon portrayal and other fans' interest in the place charming—although this is also both a long time in the past and well-researched! Not sure how I'd feel about modern-day fiction set somewhere I knew, although I don't read much modern stuff to begin with, that might feel slightly weird in itself.
