History That Never Was

Fun for Friday: Write to my Screenshot!

The photo on this post, which reads “The Snail in Gothic Marginal Warfare, by Lilian M. C. Randall, 1962” (and has closed captioning reading “But Randall connected them to historical stereotypes”), is one I took while Jeremy and I were watching a YouTube video about snails in medieval manuscript illuminations. I haven’t tracked down this article yet, but I thought it might make an interesting writing prompt.

Maybe you want to write a fake version of this article. Maybe you want to write something with the same title. Or maybe you want to write something in which a medieval monk explores his own feelings about snails and why he’s adding them into the margins of whatever book he’s copying!

The sky … or perhaps the snail … is the limit!
