I'm sorry, this was just so good that it had to be its own thread.

Your holiday assignment (should you choose to accept it) is to pick at least 3 WGB members' illustrious forefathers (or mothers) and tie them together in a semi-historical novel of no less than 1000 pages, with the possibility of a 2700 page prequel set in another period involving their antecedents. Extra credit will be given for setting up a database of background information for each of the characters, locations, situations and ideas mentioned in the novel.

Source material starts here, but can also be drawn from elsewhere on the board.

I'll relax the 1000 page rule.
