Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you… ds_shakespeare!

April 23rd is Shakespeare’s birthday. In celebration, aingeal8c and I have set up a new community, ds_shakespeare. Essentially, it is a fic-writing challenge (although we’re open to icons and vids too) where all the prompts will be Shakespearean quotes. Fascinated by the parallels between due South and Romeo and Juliet? Think Frannie is a modern-day Titania or Dief a modern Puck? Go for it!

At the moment we are looking for prompt submissions, so you have a week to arm yourself with all your favourite quotes, plays or sonnets, and come on over.

Prompt claiming will open on the 23rd, and the fic deadline is roughly July 1st. So fics can be any length, and you have a little over two months to write; and then on Canada Day we will have a big post of self-congratulatory squee!

It’s open to 6 degrees as well as due South fic. Wilby Wonderful and Twelfth Night? Billy Talent and Hamlet? Great! And, of course, I am hoping for lots of wonderful Slings & Arrows fic.

So come and play!
