Is Christopher Sly really that obscure? I can imagine it gets left out of a lot of staged productions, but I had it burned on my brain from reading it mostly because I wanted to figure out why the heck the plotline had gotten dropped.

I'd say it is, but I'm not always the best judge of which bits of Shakespeare are obscure and which ones aren't. (Come to think of it, when you're writing fic set 1,000 years in the future, assumptions about what will be popular are kind of dicey anyway. A while back, somebody catalogued Shakespeare quotes from the impromptu memorials that sprang up right after Lincoln's assassination, and one of the things I remember was that King John turned out to be a wildly popular choice.)
