Why yes, I am completely unoriginal. Why do you ask?

So yesterday, vamphile posted a poll about what she should write next. This morning, while working on a Creative Control time stamp, I realized that I have three WIPs that I could possibly turn into new stories, but I don't know which way I want to go, or even if I should try. So I'm totally ripping off Vamp's idea and leaving it up to y'all.

Where do I go? What do I do? Prod me. Guide me. Prompt me. HELP ME!

Thank you! MS-Paint FTW!

Yeah, Iago is very badass. Othello is also an interesting play in that Shakespeare breaks theatrical conventions and has Iago lie in the soliloquies and asides, where characters were always expected to tell the truth at that time. Iago is so badass, in fact, that there's another paper on him waiting for me once I finish the current one. Woe!

It's crazy how many films are still being made on the premise of those plays, whether they try to disguise it or not.

- Absolutely. And Shakespeare used earlier sources for most of his plays, too. Just goes to show that it's not so much about originality, but about doing it right.

It's so true. Solomon wrote, in the bible, that there's nothing new under the sun. And that was back then - how the hell can we hope to find anything brand spankin' new now? There are new and exciting ways to say things, but at the core, we're still saying the same old things.

God, now I've depressed myself. Awesome.

Don't be depressed. Have a cookie!

It's supposed to be a comforting thought. We all go through the same things, we are all ultimately the same, we are all connected ... blah blah blah.

Scully is laughing - and you should be, too.

Oh. Well if Scully is laughing . . .

Sorry, I ran out of appropriate icons awhile ago - I only have 35.

[strangeallure.livejournal.com]

Your icon is ALWAYS appropriate. ALWAYS, do you hear me?

(And I only have 21, so ...)

[raeschae.livejournal.com]

It is rather impressive, that one. Hm . . .

I have thirty-five, but a bunch of them are for my 'verses, so I can't use them all the time. *shrugs* Oh well - what're ya gonna do?
