What do I expect to find? Well, the historical facts and research have been noted, but I'd particularly emphasize illuminating aspects of past society that one doesn't typically hear about, especially those that we might, in a self-centered fashion, consider too "modern" to have existed at the time.

I also expect to see characters dealing with adulthood. Not just growing up, but growing into who they are after the "up" part seems finished.

And yes, OCs that are every bit as interesting as the canon characters. And animals that act like animals (and not like we would expect).
