@Dragon-Snapper @Daeus I’m stopping for now… got 1,158 words.

@Dragon-Snapper oh, sorry. I’m still going. 😀

@Daeus okay well now I’m writing… XD When you come back, just tag me.

@Dragon-Snapper you still on?

@Charisetter The Silver Branch and The Lantern Bearers. Both excellent in different ways.

Goodbye Morgan! *heroically sniffs back tears* I wish you godspeed on your perilous journey. *shakes your hand solemnly* We shall meet again.

I shall return. Never fear. *disappears in a poof of smoke*

@northerner hm, yes. :/ Unfortunately the comedies have a lot of that. Quite honestly I stopped reading the comedies once I got a quarter of the way through The Merry Wives of Windsor. Not worth it. The Taming of the Shrew and Much Ado About Nothing were good. Otherwise, pretty much senseless.

Probably doesn’t help that it’s my favorite period of history too.…[Read more]

@Emma-Flournoy it’s a passage from Hamlet with the key words replaced. 😉
