I think I'm going to. This summer, when I can read a few biographies and work out the kinks. Also when I have time I can justify spending on something more kinda out there than fic.

I'm actually not surprised to hear about Shakespeare/Marlowe. Or Chopin/Liszt, for that matter--their love is totally canon.

And I don't think there's anything wrong with the pairing, really. I suppose I'm just still coming to terms with how I slash everything that moves. ;)
