Social post

[ardyforshort]

I'm planning on opening sign-ups on Saturday, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to make a social/chatter post for challenge participants and those who are thinking of participating. I'm including a questions thread so if you have questions about the exchange you can ask there. I may update the Rules post as a result to clarify some stuff, but I doubt anything *major* will change.

Please feel free to introduce yourself in the comments! And/or tell us about your favourite Shakespeare play, or that great (or awful) production of a play that you saw recently, squee about your Shakespearean OTP/3/x... Please remember to be nice to one another: if you wouldn't say it to someone's face, maybe don't say it.

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!
