And I've got some of the plot worked out. I know who did it and why, and I know some of the clues to scatter in my poor protagonist's path.
Some of you will be pleased to hear that the wombat and the tube of mummy will not only appear in this story, they will also be thematically significant when they do. (The stripling Kipling, however, is a no go.)
And I need to know, is there anything I can do with the names Lancelot and Galahad to defamiliarize them, like Medraut for Mordred and Genevieve for Guinevere? *looks hopefully in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
papersky's direction* Because those two fall right in the crack between SO familiar that the name has other associations (like Arthur) and obscure enough that there isn't a preconceived set of opinions among the unwashed masses (as, for example, Bors and Lamorek).
