Chaucer in Space (BSG- Fanfic idea)

[ViperTech]

I've always been a fan of the Cantubury Tales since I read The Pardoner's Tale, so as I was writing my own fanfic, an idea came to me, what if somebody, a group possibly, wrote stories with the basic idea of Canturbury Tales in mind. Basically what if we wrote a set of stories based on people in the fleet, civilians, military, and politicians...The people not seen on BSG as of yet...

Whenever I think of a Knight's Tale, I think of a stray military man, who hasn't been recruited on to the Galactica. Sort of like Crashdown before they found him...

The Pardoner could be a corrupt preist aboard a freighter. The people need hope, so obviously people will exploit it... I'm sure not all the criminals were on the Astral Queen.

If anybody is interested, give a holler...

Would Leodon be Simon the Summoner?

Oh man, thinking of all the DIRTY stories Chaucer wrote no less, glowing-spines could go well in those.

I think that's an awesome idea.

Hehe... Ellen Tigh "the Wife of Bath" erm... Geminon.

But yeah... Kind of want to focus on the lives of the AVERAGE people on BSG. If you're interested PM me, and/or check out a Survivor's Tale... (Changing the title to a Refugee's Tale.)

Ooh, here are the stories you should tell (amongst others I'm sure)

-The Courier's Tale, tell us about how he has to say goodbye to his family every year.
-The Mechanic's Tale, tell us about some lowly person who fizes Raptors.

Give us a story about one of the journalists in the news corps, one of the prisoners on the ship who was arrested for some petty offense.. OOOH OOH! The Toaster's Tale! Tell us the story of the old Centurian in the museum, from his defeat in battle to his forty years in study and storage and finally on display!
