So, some updates:
I’ve finished The Once And Future King by T. H. White on audiobook, all 33 hours. My understanding is that it’s a compilation of all of his Arthurian novels, which are based off of Thomas Mallory’s Le Morte D’Arthur, which is itself meant to be something of a compilation of all Arthurian tales up to the point it was written. It was heavy-handed to say the least (but probably not as much as the originals, lol), and I was enjoying it until the conclusion of the grail quest and then it seemed to fall off quickly. The last few hours was particularly weak and moralizing, so I guess if you’re interested in reading it yourself I’d almost recommend just reading the Lancelot books and skipping Arthur entirely.
I have not getting any further on Parzival and am realizing I’m going to need to read some Tristan and probably Le Morte D’Arthur itself, which brings me to…
I am still working on the Arthurian Cupbearer Twinks fic, though it’s been going slowly for many reasons — I estimate I have about 5,000 words of it written, even though it’s not all typed. It’s evolved significantly since its inception and I *may* have something approaching a coherent story even though I really do need to figure out an outline at some point, and it definitely needs a proper title.
If anyone is interested in this project and wants to be involved in say, beta-reading or something, please feel free to contact me.
