Dec. 15th, 2005 01:47 pmSo last week, I came accross ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
midsummerfest. It's devoted to a six month Harry Potter fanfiction challenge. You're supposed to take a Shakespeare play and retell it in the Potterverse. The deadline for signups is today. I'm not signing up, incidentally. I considered it briefly (doing Measure for Measure, of course) but I don't really want to a)ruin the play by turning it into a HP fanfic, b)write a giant HP fanfic, or c)spend six months doing either of the above. Also, in spite of all its claims to seriousness, I'm just not getting a very good feeling from what people have posted already.
(click on the cuts and watch me demonstrate my HP geekiness)
( Exhibit A: Othello )
( Exhibit B: Twelfth Night )
So that, in short, is another reason why I'm not participating.
Natty and I talked about it for a while the other night; the fun part is "casting" and figuring out the "mise en scene," and making fun of other people's choices.
