MoTF update: chapter 1

[tsuru_san]

Well, it finally, actually happened... After just over a year of working on the MoTF story, I have finally finished chapter one! O_O

Title: Masters of Their Field (chapter 1)
Fandom: French and Indian War historical fiction
Rating: PG-13 (for language; rating will go up)
Pairing: will eventually be Nathaniel Merrington/Dimitri Gisée
Summary: The French and Indian War has been going on for about two years now when Nathaniel Merrington is sent from Nova Scotia to New York and then north along the Hudson River where he will help run a British fort. However, what starts out as a simple appointment to a colonial outpost quickly spirals out of Nathaniel's hands when he and a French soldier, Dimitri Gisée, end up uncovering a double agent playing the French and British forces in North America against each other.
Notes: Translations of French dialogue are footnoted. (Constructive crit welcome, especially on grammar/spelling.)

W00t! It's started! *claps* A fabulous start, too! I loved Jean-Marie getting pushed over the railing! *snicker* I didn't find anything that needed fixing regarding grammar and spelling. I just want to see what happens next. *grin*

Yes, it finally has, and I am happy you liked it! Heh, poor Jean-Marie... Even though he doesn't have a big part in the story, I'm sooo glad I fleshed out his character. ^^

I've learned the value of doing that, too. *smile* I had one character for a story I'm working on who kept refusing to tell me his story, but he finally did in the end and I'm glad for it, because it turns out he may have a larger part in the story than I originally thought.
