Big Gay Hamlet Ficathon

[gileonnen]

I believe firmly in everyone's right to crack!AUs. I think that crack!AUs are one of fandom's greatest strengths--our endless capacity to reinvent the works that we love, and to stretch the boundaries of our readers' recognition, gives me hope for the possibility of creation and communion

Laertes

[gileonnen]

There's a place in the world for the angry young man~

Trans* Laertes

[gileonnen]

MTF, FTM, or genderqueer--Laertes's attempts to police his sister's gender are also attempts to police himself. Can Ophelia help him to come to terms with that?

Gay Laertes

[gehayi]

Part of the reason Laertes gets so angry on his sister's behalf is that he and Hamlet used to be a VERY serious couple.

Just saw this, after posting pretty much the same thing. I'd say great minds think alike, but categorizing anyone else with me might be insulting to them. Anyway, I'll just put a second for this one. =^;^=

Laertes/Reynaldo

[gileonnen]

*waves Lone Shipper flag* Reynaldo learns a lot about Laertes from being assigned to follow him around. He doesn't realize how much Laertes is learning about him in the process.

Oh. My. GOD. This is amazing. I love the voice you gave Reynaldo, so self assured, and then the end where he so casually says that he'll have bad nights because of this whole thing is bittersweet. *cuddles Reynaldo, and you*

Thank you! I have to confess that I pulled a fairly similar gag in a Blakes7 story ("The Dingus"), but B7 is a small enough fandom that I thought I could do it again for a fresh audience.

Re: FILL: Observe His Inclination in Yourself

[gileonnen]

NOIR REYNALDO. I want more of this in my life! I love the grit and the easy anachronisms and the world-weary competence; such a wonderful voice you've given him!

Re: FILL: Observe His Inclination in Yourself

[executrix]

To be fair, I didn't give him a voice so much as collage one...

You have this gift for pastiche and parody that somehow turns into something entirely original.

Forget it, Jake. It's Elsinore.

Thank you! It's like looking at a quilt square and saying "That piece was Anna's spring dress..that was grandpa's workshirt..." but now they're a Drunkard's Path or whatevre.

I kind of wrote this a little bit, but not really.

Thanks!
