the Dalaverse

I haven't seen this anywhere yet, but I haven't been reading much in detail so I might have missed it...but it's far too important to not let post, if only to remind myself. On the letters of marque, the signature 'George R' is clearly visible, so DMC has to take place in 1714 or later. As to which George signed it, it's hard to say (would II or III put the number in his signature?), but personally I'd go with George I, because we're in the last years of the golden age of Caribbean piracy, and the first quarter of the 18th century seems to pop up quite often in fic. However, I admit to knowing very little about the history of the East India Company, so that might have some bearing on the date as well.

It's nice to know that it doesn't matter that a number of my own dates in fics have been jossed, because those fics themselves have been jossed...
