Title: Maidens of Sherwood
Author: Christy
Rating: PG-13 -- possibly subject to change? (mild sexual content & mature subject matter :: violence :: language :: innuendo)

Disclaimer: The following productions & characters are not associated with me:
BBC, BBC America, 2-Entertain, Dominic Minghella, Foz Allen or any of the executives or producers for Robin Hood: the Series; Robin Hood, Much, Alan-a-Dale, Will Scarlett, Djaq, Little John, The Sheriff of Nottingham, Sir Guy of Gisborne, Lady Marian :: The character(s) of Regina, Katherine, Edmund, Anna & Sebastian St. James, Kenneth & Rodney McClauren & any others not associated with the myth or the show are mine & may not be used in other fanfic without my exclusive permission :: Although Edmund, Anna & Sebastian are my characters, Sherring Cross & the St. James family name & Dukedom of Wrothston was unashamedly borrowed from Lindsey's Man of my Dreams in a 'great-great-ancestor' sort of way. Neither Jonas Armstrong or Joe Armstrong belong to me, though damn I wish they did! Do not archive or repost without contacting me. Story © :: 2007 Christy Burk.
Spoilers: None that I know of, but this is set roughly around the time of the season 1 finale (give or take a couple weeks). As we move into new season episodes, the spoiler alert may change (though I'll be following the delayed showings of BBC America, so it shouldn't be too big a deal).
Summery: As the Sheriff stumbles across unexpected leverage to use against Robin Hood, the arrival of a royal visitor sends everyone's plans awry.
Feedback: Is a good 85 percent of my motivation to write & certainly 100 percent of my motivation to post what I write! So, in summation: feedback very important!
A/N: This is total & utter fanfiction. Which means: I'm liable to completely make my canon up as I go along whilst trying to stay loosely within the canon of the show. I'll try to go for at least a passing resemblance to reality in the Middle Ages, but as it is fiction (& mythologically based fiction at that) I'm not going for historical reenactment here. I'm not an authority on the subject & I (much like the show) enjoy a modern 'feel' to my stories. Please don't sweat the small stuff. Also, I do make two major deviances from character that I'd like to denounce here: 1) I add some people here who are closely connected to major players, but don't originate from the 'Robin Hood' myth at all. I understand this is a pretty strong exception to make for fanfiction, but I hope you'll like the characters enough that they'll still fit the story, even in such presumptuous roles. 2) I realize that according to the canon of the show, the correct spelling is Allan-a-Dale, not Alan-a-Dale. But for some odd reason, I don't like 'Allan'. Two L's just look wrong, I can't explain it. All I can say is they don't fit Joe or the character (in my mind anyway). So, this being my story & all, I'm spelling it as Alan. I hope this doesn't throw anyone off or bother them too badly. (/end denouncement)
