Most of the French is ignorance (okay, I once knew there was a '-ce' in there, but not any more) or simple type ('the la revoltion' is because it was going to be 'the [name of group]', only I couldn't figure out who he'd actually sympathise with). The random English word in the middle of a French sentence is entirely deliberate, though. ^_^ I'm writing the genre, after all.

(Also, 'Ancien Regime' appears in English as early as the 1790s, so he's kind of using an English term, rather than a fully French one. Also also: putting the verb in French might lead readers' eyes to glaze over, where just doing the nouns shouldn't.)

I would love to see more stories in this vein. Of course, if it does happen, I'll have to figure out how a non-multiversal, non-badfic-related PPC analog fits into Multiverse Theory. Perhaps it's all an aspect of the Ur-PPC...?
