On the show, the Colonists apparently had the time to manufacture steel stairs and a bridge to put in their munitions storage tunnel. It's amazing, considering that technology wouldn't exist for about 100 more years.

Yeah, if the show isn't worrying too much about historic accuracy than I wouldn't either.

Regarding homosexuality, it's interesting to note that at this period there was a VERY large debate going on in England as to whether homosexuality was something you were born being or whether it was a choice and a sin.

Regarding homosexuality, it's interesting to note that at this period there was a VERY large debate going on in England as to whether homosexuality was something you were born being or whether it was a choice and a sin. <a href='http://rictornorton.co.uk/eighteen/jones1.htm">Here's an essay and some links</a>. Also , there were gay cruising grounds in England and bisexuals did go to them; <a href="http://rictornorton.co.uk/eighteen/1761bail.htm">here's a contemporary account</i>:

So, given that this debate had just gone on when Ichabod was, um, preserved, a clever writer could build a story in which Ichabod was bisexual and had some association with the culture, was aware of the debate in England (especially given the timing of his departure from there) and when Abbey, assuming he's going to be a serious homophobe, tries to gently explain gay rights to him, she's totally shocked because he takes it in complete stride. (Later she discovers that he assumes that debate in 1772 sparked the loosening of strictures on homosexuality and that things have been ducky since about 1800, because as we have established Ichabod is an idealist. Then she has to explain Stonewall, Section 28 and the recent laws in Russia.)

Well that there is what I mean about research. As you say, good grounds for a characterisation of Ichabod who isn't too up tight about gay issues.

Just as long as people do at least a little research and find something like this, instead of pulling things out of their proverbial ass. (And A/Ns with notes pointing out sources would be good too, to show that accurate fics are not pulling an easier attitude out of their proverbial.)

And there you go.
