Period by-which-I-mean-"in-the-past" Entertainment
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.

Also there is a fun novella I found in the uni library once. It was all about putting the 'missing' sex scenes in Austen. LOL There was hilarious Charlotte Lucas (channeling dominatrix Lady Catherine) / Mr. Collins sex. Unfortunately I can't remember the title or author or anything. :(

I've heard of that book! Don't think it's quite my cup of tea, since even though I'm interested in JA smut, my interest lies with the characters and how they interact than their Sooper Sekrit Sex Lives.
Though I did read a fanfic once based around the BBC/A&E P&P, in which Mr. Colins was actually a STUD, which was actually an acronym for something similar to "really hot super spy in a fat suit!" It was...quite the comedy.

However, there is a lovely review on the IMDB page here (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368658/). Just don't read the plot summary! Gah. It's terrible.
LOL I didn't really think you'd be interested in the book as more than a bit of novelty. That fanfic sounds hilarious! Linky?
