A happy anniversary

[starlady]

So one year ago today I joined Dreamwidth, and of all the things I did last spring it has to be one of the best. This was my first cross-posted entry, for the record. Joining DW was totally an impulse decision, but it has been an amazing experience so far for me, and that is all because of the people on here.

So thank you, fellow DWers! Thank you friends, readers, commenters, random people who pop in from the Network page--thank you one and all! You are truly a wonderful bunch, and I look forward to many more years' dreaming on together.

You said Shakespeare!

[starlady]

I threw that one in there on a whim, but it's the one that's getting comments. I just wish I hadn't lost the copy with my prof's comments (!).

Yeah, the original novel that I was babbling about having music for, yesterday? Has a complicated metatextual relationship with Shakespeare. (In-world, William Shakespeare accidentally saved the world via a coincidental - for him - and relatively short friendship with a half-crazed immortal. Needless to say he never knew this.)

I wrote a play starring Desdemona, Ophelia, Rosalind and Viola once. No, wait, it was Virginia Woolf, Ophelia and Rosalind. They just talked about Viola off-stage. And it got produced (at my high school), which was pretty cool.

Oooh, Catullus! I love Catullus! He's such a fun poet to read, in Latin as well as in translation (although way more fun in Latin^^).

[starlady]

Buxifer! 'nuff said. (Though I could say so much more, of course.)

I voted 'something else'

For the sake of explicitness, I would be really interested in either the one-act play or the audio file!

Re: I voted 'something else'

[starlady]

Well, they're all going up eventually! But the formatting is a bit of a slog, so this hopefully will give me a sense of which to prioritize.

It occurs to me that the play is totally in the AO3's 'gray area' between original and fanfic. So I'll probably slurp it onto the AO3 after the fest, too.

Neat!
