play it again, Sam

Is it really, unbelievably sad that I saw a review of Pandaemonium, a movie about Wordsworth and Coleridge's collaboration on Lyrical Ballads, and immediately thought "Milton!" followed by "Coleridge/Wordsworth OTP!"

THIS IS MY LIFE.

*dies a little bit on the inside*

I really want to see it, though. Because. You know. You can't go wrong with lines like, "Sam, opium is not your worst addiction. Your worst addiction is to Wordsworth."

Oh dear. Now I want to write poet!slash. Does it count as RPS if they're dead?

A better question: what on earth is wrong with me?

Yes! Write it!

It's not RPS, it's, um...creative interpretation of history.
A friend of mine once wrote Will Shakespeare/John Dowland. Shakespeare/Marlowe is a bigger ship, though.
Chopin/Liszt is another OTP. (Their love is so canon!)

I don't even see why there would be anything wrong with this.

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. ;)
