The Greatest Meme Ever

Everybody's doing it! (By everybody, I mean angearia and snickfic, of course!) I don't have any confidence I'll do it nearly as well as they have, but I'll take a whack at it nonetheless because theirs were so fun.


Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Aaaand...GO!

The only reason I knew anything about it at all is that they did it for Shakespeare in the Park here last year (honestly, part of my antipathy towards it may have been because they tried to stretch the play so that it applied to the current American political situation...and it didn't work). Still, I'd recommend just about every other Shakespeare play before that one! I'm impressed at you tackling him on your own; I've read quite a lot of him, but none outside of a classroom setting.

And I really can't verbalize how much the idea of him turning to his enemy in that moment--that there's this underlying respect there--appeals to me. I fully intend to write a book with that premise someday. (It also reminds me of Spike showing up at Giles's door in "Pangs" and throwing himself on the Slayer's mercy. Love. It.)

Oooh! That's a good one! Yeah, with them playing chess in the plastic jail cell and such? Very cool.

Sometime you should make such a list! I would love to read it!
