Oh.... fandom... you make me bang my head into walls. I'm thrilled people totally grok that Baldwin is the best character in Kingdom of Heaven, but must you call the story you're writing about him a "lepic"?

My head hurts.

Is that like leper fic? Because ew.

Baldwin was a leper, so yes. And while the fic manages to find a way not to be about that as far as I could tell in the three paragraphs I could deal with before I was irritated (dear fandom, perhaps this character is worth writing non-sex fic about, hello!!!), um, yes.

Yeah... I mean write about it, but don't make it a selling point.

I think you should have the right to call it a lepic if it's two thousand pages long and written in dactylic hexameter.
