. . . 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.
