Put them here!

What is thy name? And wherefore comest thou hither?

Hi! To get the ball rolling:

I'm Lex, your friendly neighbourhood mod. My favourite plays are Twelfth Night and Hamlet, as my long-suffering Twitter friends can attest.

I saw a glorious production of Hamlet set in a juvenile prison a few years ago which I still rate as the best I've seen. I've seen a lot of bad theatre but the worst is probably the current Dream at the Globe - I left after 30 min.

Shakespeare is one of those fandoms where if it's well written I can buy almost any ship, and I love lots of canon couples (Beatrice and Benedick, Hermia and Lysander, Valentine and Silvia). Hamlet/Horatio is a favourite of course but I also find thinking about Hamlet/Ophelia or Hamlet/Laertes interesting, and someone even managed to sell me Horatio/Ophelia once.

I would love to see/read whatever convinced you of Horatio/Ophelia!

It's crackfic by smallhobbit, Almost Nobody Dies!

That's great, thank you :)

Hello!

I'm Jill, or Meatball42 everywhere, and I'm psyched to see a Shakespeare exchange! I don't know yet if I'll sign up, because I signed up for too many already :) but I', happy that this even exists!

My favorite plays are actually Hamlet and Twelfth Night as well, though I also love Othello and had to read Macbeth in three different classes. I also have a big soft spot for Much Ado About Nothing, and unexpectedly really enjoyed Measure for Measure.

I'm looking forward to using this exchange as an opportunity to reread things :) (she says as though she's already signed up, okay, let's be real, I'm going to, who needs sleep?)

Hi Jill! Welcome to the stage. It's great to see your enthusiasm. This is the first time I'm running this exchange so I am hoping it'll go well.

How funny that we have the same favourites :D And Much Ado is Shakespeare's feelgood play (and probably one of the first romcoms ever), I have a lot of time for it too.

Ah, yes, the classic move: "oh noes, why am I signed up to so many exchanges?" *signs up for two more*. It would be lovely to have you on board!

Hi I'm Mific.
I love Shakespearean era writing and poetry but am relatively ignorant about many of the plays, so am leaping in where angels etc. But I can improvise and I can do research, so will give it a whirl!
I love AUs so am hoping I get a recipient who also likes them. :)
Too mnay challenges as usual, but this looks like fun, so what the hell.

Hi Mific! So please to have you on the stage.

I like AUs too! One of my favourite Hamlet fics is a coffeeshop AU/retelling :D
