Those who know me well will probably know about my affection for and fascination with fanfic. If not, well: okay, I have an affection for and fascination with fanfic. You're all caught up now.
I was reading a book from 1911 yesterday (The Girls of Dudley School), and two of the girls presented a play to some of their friends. The girls had decided that Juliet wasn't right for Romeo, and he wouldn't have wound up dead if he were to fall in love with someone else. They choose “that jolly Miss Rosalind... ready for any kind of a joke or good time” from As You Like It. Their play proceeds with Romeo acting like Romeo, and Rosalind being Rosalind, to great comic effect. I thought it was funny, but was also delighted to find century-old fanfic, essentially! The SO pointed out that not only is it fanfic, but also that these two girls were shippers.

Speaking of fanfic: I met someone named Draco today! I'd never met a person named that before, so I was chuffed.
