I've been doing a lot of reading about the Jamestown colony (because even me, with my primary school recollection of early American history, say the 1609 flashback in Darla and went 'whuuu?') And it turns out there was a woman, 'Mistresse Forest', who arrived in Jamestown with her servant in 1608 and just vanished from history (the servant ending up as one of the few to survive when almost all the colonists died out the next year). It's all nice and serendipitous but it doesn't explain where the bloody nuns came from.

But now I want to write Darla fic from this guy's perspective. And absolutely not entertain the naughty thoughts brought up by the idea that Darla would have almost certainly have known Pocahontas.

ETA this bit from MSN chat:

when I read your last post I mistook "Jamestown" for "Jonestown" and spent a good 10mins pondering how Pocahontas was involved in a pseudo-religious suicide cult

Darla would have almost certainly have known Pocahontas.
I remember once reading that Pocahontas translates to "frisky" or something which you know made watching that damn disney movie almost entertaining (I have no idea if that's true, probably not but fun random un-knowledge!)

She also used to cartwheel down the main Jamestown street naked...

Of course, she was about 12 when she met John Smith, which makes the Disney movie pretty ewww.
