Mechant of Venice fic

...Yeah, I knew this was going to happen when I started taking Shakespeare. I just didn't think I'd get and actual assignment to do it. ^^

The assignment was this:

"The play ends with 3 happy couples: Portia & Bassanio; Nerissa & Gratiano; Jessica & Lorenzo. Write a happily ever after (or not so happily ever after) tale as their lives unfold over

Hello. I'm an Spanish girl that is in love with with Shakespeare, and with the Antonio/Bassiano pairing. You can see that my English is a bit... terrible, but... I'm trying it. I want to add you, 'cause I'm seeing here Antonio/Bassiano!! And it's a fantastic fanfiction.

So... ¿Can I add you?^^

[honorbound]

Sorry about the delay! LJ's weird about telling me when I have comments.

Sure, you can add me. ^^ I haven't written any other Antonio/Bassanio, but friends are good, right?

[miss_black91]

Don't worry ;)

I'm going to add you now.

Is it all right for me to add you back?

... How did I not read and comment on this before?
I love how all this is still subtext, and how you had both happy and not-quite-happy and sad endings (and that's more than "both", but bare with me), it made things... more realistic, I guess.
Anyway good work~

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. ^^

....Seriously, I need to write more.

[littlelinor]

YES YOU DO.
Especially Shakespeare fanfiction. It's always a good idea to write Shakespeare fanfiction. *shot*

*snerk* I should break out the Collected Works, then.... XD

I'm here via a rec at crack_van, and I really enjoyed this! Your take on the characters is great (it seems very plausible that Nerissa and Portia would take comfort in each other when disappointed with their husbands), and I love the way you express so much in few words. Lovely. :-)

Gosh, I didn't know it had been recced anywhere! Thanks for reading. It's always good to hear that someone enjoyed one of my stories.
