. . . Plz help. My mother is discovering the Internet.

Mom: *absently* What would I search for if I wanted Shakespeare fanfic?

Me: . . .? Well, there's fanfiction.net. But, um, that's commonly referred to as the Pit of Voles because, um, there's no quality control. *does not mention her own Shakespeare fic on fanfiction.net*

Mom: Oh, okay. So I could just google "Shakespeare fanfic"?

Me: Yeah, I guess. *does the same, curious*

First hit: FanFiction.Net », Just In . C2 . ... A quick reference of all the Shakespeare slash on the site. Please help with the compilation!

Mom: What's "Shakespeare slash"?

Me: Ahm. Ah. Um. Slash is . . . you don't want to read Shakespeare slash. Slash is *mumbles* male/male pairings.

Mom: It's what?

Me: Male/male pairings. Othello/Iago. Antonio/whatever his name is in The Merchant of Venice. It tends to be -- pornographic -- it's hard to find well-written slash.

Mom: Oh, okay. *cheerfully clicks around* . . . Wow, lotta garbage, huh?

Me: Yes. Yes, there is. *watches from corner of her eye*

Mom: *clicks to somewhere else that is not ff.net*


PLZ HELP. At this rate she'll have a MySpace (my parents think I'm on MySpace, and I am happy to let them think that) and be experimenting with emoticons.

Hey, why not get on myspace? it actually is devil worship, but there are fun little thingies lots and its another place for you to flaunt your niftyness to others.
