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.

Eyreheads. Duh. The thing with the '96 one is that the only big names in it were Hurt and Paquin, and Paquin was very new (having just got famous from The Piano) and Hurt...well, is Hurt. Never done anything remotely interesting since Body Heat, which I actually didn't think was remotely interesting either.
But you're right about the internets.
