Ahh, I'm so thrilled you enjoyed it! Did you see that the sequel is coming out this year, about the eccentric aunt and beekeeping??

The one thing I think I would have added to this would have been some mention of Caroline Herschel, who very much was alive and working and well-known for her astronomical work in and before this time period. Lucy (Science One) definitely would have known of her in the "real world," and she's just so cool! In fact, I think Lucy is very strongly based on Herschel, based on the kind of work she's shown to do and her relationship with her brother, and I think it would have been bang-on the thematic money to have acknowledged Herschel's work.
