Gah, right from the first sentence with "thrust" you've peppered the Benedick chapter with the very language of Benedick (Signior Montanto = upward thrust, and Ben saying "thrust my neck into the yoke" etc) which is utter GENIUS and makes your writing so rich and pleasurable to read. I want to roll around in this fic like happy pig in muck and if I'm nowhere near as eloquent as you I'm blaming the screwdrivers

I got his language right? *victory dance*

I just spent an hour on tumblr trying to find stuff. Not one thing was what I wanted. *sighs* Oh, well. I can always add to it later, if I feel like it. Or just save them for the commentary I will one day complete. That said... I might've found some things I can use one day. :D And I bookmarked that link, BTW. :D

Well, will have to post later. *sighs* So you have several hours to wait, I'm afraid. So sorry I got caught up in the fangirl delights. :)

Ah the fangirl delights on tumblr are quite a thing to behold!

You've done a beautiful job with the language --both in terms of word choice and the modern english with archaic descriptors - like "merry night" and "dalliance" - it's excellently done, not remotely jarring, keeping the feeling of the play without loading it down with an attempt to go all flowery (like, um, mine, *coughs*).

NICE foreshadowing too with the Claudio leaping to conclusions stuff ;) It's fascinating to me to see where our opinions of the characters are similar or diverge, ah MAAN meta!

I can't wait to get to the action! *squeaks*

[tkel_paris]

Yeah, I found some nice things there. Seriously, one was a fangirling thing using a MAAN moment. :D

Yay! Thank you! *hugs* Hey, we all have to start somewhere. Also, I guess I try to keep things simple if I can, but adding where it feels needed. (Although cutting down I think used to be a problem for me.)

MAAN metas... *applauds* Oh, I wanna start writing it again! :D

The changes started in chapter 3, which is up now. :D

I'll just here and look at his legs for a bit longer... I never realised before MAAN how much of a thing I had for them. And they go so well with your story!!!

I love the idea of him pining for Beatrice for five years! Oh my...

[tkel_paris]

*snickers* I never would've imagined EVER having a thing for someone of that build until a few years ago. Interest, huh? ;)

At least five years. ;D
