D. Yesterday a friend linked to Coleridge/Wordsworth slash. This is piece is full of heady language, slant rhyme, rhythm, and longing. It's totally what I imagined these two poets' relationship to be, back when I was in college and didn't even know I was shipping them.
R. It makes me ponder:
1. Did you ever slash Coleridge/Wordsworth?
2. What about Emerson/Thoreau and/or Shelley/Keats?
3. Have you ever slashed historic authors?
4. Historic figures, period?
5. Where do you find fanfic about this kind of thing?
6. Have you answered "no" to all these questions, but are intrigued anyway?
7. Where are all the classic romance lit and period romance film fans on lj? Where's all the fanfic? Where are all the challenges?
A. Speaking of historic smut, I found this slightly silly costume porn which I actually don't find silly at all. It's nominally Harry/Draco, but it's one of those AU, OOC (author says so herself!) fics that could be anyone. ANY SERVANT UNDRESSING A NOBLEMAN IN THE RENAISSANCE ERA WHERE THEY'RE BOTH GETTING TURNED ON MY THE INTRICACIES OF KNOTS AND GROMMETS AND HOISERY, PEOPLE. It's well done, written by someone who obviously knows what they're talking about insofar as costumes, and it makes a long drawn out process of getting undressed quite interesting.
M. They are making a new Jane Eyre with Ellen Page. The article I'm linking to says there've been more than 20 versions of JE. I'd actually been unhappy with the 6 versions I've seen. The most recent bigscreen adaptation was in 1996 with William Hurt, and admittedly it was awful. But last year BBC did a new one, and I was very happy with it, which is saying a lot considering it's one of my very favorite books for sentimental reasons.
And they are making two new Wuthering Heights, one with Natalie Portman. What gives, yo?
A. I still love North And South like an ever lovin' thing.

It's vaguely intriguing to me, but we often don't know enough about their personalities alone, let alone their relationship dynamics, for me to really get hooked.

Yeah, I don't suppose we know enough about Shakespeare, but it's so interesting to extrapolate from his writing. Personally I find that more entertaining than RPS'ing actors, since what writers write is more personal than what actors act. And speculation about Shakespeare is so fraught with wild theories and criticism.
Don't know if you watch at all, but I love the ep of Doctor Who where Shakespeare started coming on to the Doctor, and the Doctor claimed that many academics would be feeling very vindicated in their theories of Will's bisexuality, had they been there to hear it.

Apparently I never did post my Shakespeare/Marlowe, or at least I never put it in my memories. It's still on my hard drive, though, so let me know if you ever want blackmail material. :)

I'd love to read it! I meant to ask before! You should post it. But if not, my email is thekorapersonality@hotmail.com, and I'd love a peek!
