Hmmm...

So, I was thinking, and I probably shouldn't be doing this, as I have tons of challenges of my own to write, but anyway, I was wondering. Mostly inspired by musesfool's lyrics and Psalm challenges (which I need to finish, oi), as well as my own urge to see Julius Caesar again *g*.

Would anyone be interested in a Shakespearean line challenge? As in, you comment and tell me you're interested, I open the good ol' Complete Works of William Shakespeare, find some random lines out of some random play or sonnet, and you write a fic based on those lines? Any fandom you want, though I am of course most familiar with HP :p. No deadline because I hate them ^_~.

Has anyone done this before? And even if someone has, would anyone still be interested?

And if you are, please pimp ^_^. I want as many people to know about this and participate as possible.

And now that we've got actual fics...the Master List. Also, its new community, which you should join and/or friend--shakespeare_ch

I'm interested :) (Hah, didn't expect to see ME here didja!)

Can't guarantee I'll actually write anything or whatever, but it's a cool idea and would be worth a shot.

And, um, this is assuming there's no restraints on what the fic is about? Like you won't kick me out if I write a Remus/OC or Sirius/OC or something? Just wondering...precaution I guess...:P

Nope, no restraints at all--I'm just running the challenge. I may not actually read the fic, but the only thing is that it has to be at least inspired by the lines if nothing else. Doesn't even have to be HP--we've had an X-Files fic already. Anyway, here's yours.

When our actions do not,
Our fears do make us traitors.
Macbeth, Act IV, scene ii

Just join the community and post it there when you're finished.

Ooh, Macbeth :) Thanks Corie. Makes me want Complete Works for myself.
