Ways you know I've been an English major too long...

Jan 23, 2008 19:03

I'm thinking of writing a Shakespeare/Chaucer/Milton slash. It will be written in three parts, one from the perspective of each character. Shakespeare will be in iambic pentameter, Milton will be in blank verse with voluptuous heroic similes, and Chaucer's will be in Middle English.

I love you.

Also, you are the most literal academic jack-off in existence.

Thank you. I take that (and I'm sure it was intended) as a compliment.

And to think you're considering trying to teach people.

Professing involves no actual teaching :D

I don't want to teach. That's just an unfortunate drawback to the profession. I just want to write subversive research about gay porn.

You know what? One day, when you're teaching somewhere nice and have tenure I'll drug you and come to one of your classes, tell the students that they're just tools for the overthrow of academia, then dance around the room naked singing "I've Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts."

Hmmm...I never excluded that possibility. Really now? I've never known you to dabble in writing before. But yeah, you can send me a draft if you'd like. I'm really busy right now with, well, everything, but I'll try to take a look at it. Also, spell check before you send it or I'll kill you.

Eh it wont be that long a bit more than a drabble that you inspired once long ago. One of the advantages of recovery is a discovery of onesself:D

What did I inspire? as I don't think you're pilfering my ideas as they're only biazarre enough for me to write them.

If you write it, I will do the following:

- love you forever
- beta if you like
- bake you cookies
- stalk you, possibly
- snicker in my Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton classes.

Awww, you'd only love me forever if I wrote S/M/C mansmex and not for my own merits as a perv in general?

_diane January 25 2008, 01:01:20 UTC
Nope, for that I'll only love you 'til death. You must write S/M/C for my withered little soul to love you from the depths of Fourth Circle.
