LJ Idol Week 4, in which we're Bard from social media

Why it's a good thing there was no social media in Shakespeare's day:

[Scene: Lord and Lady Montague's basement in Verona.]

Romeo:

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

That was very entertaining. Awesome!

Though, if she had social media and her friends told her not to and she listen, maybe they would have lived.

lmao GOOD POINT! (Now we just need a FB block message written in iambic pentameter.)

[adoptedwriter]

This is so clever!

[porn_this_way]

thanks! I like to think it was mainly a work of fiction, but...well...

[i_17bingo]

I liked the Tumblr especially. It was dead on.

[porn_this_way]

TUMBLR IS GIVING ME NIGHTMARES. I've been trying to actually use it lately for fandom stuff and the sheer amount of batshit insanity is making me want to curl up and cry for humanity's collective loss of common sense. So I figured I'd just come here to my old pal LJ and make fun of it.

[tonithegreat]

Yay! You did it! This is great.

[porn_this_way]

Thanks! And I wasn't sure if this idea was gonna stick or not! A lot of times when I first see a prompt, some random-ass idea pops into my head that I can't really go anywhere with, so I'll just sort of poke at it for my own amusement and then move on. Looks like this one stuck around!

Utterly fantastic! I loved the way you suited the FB, Twitter and Tumblr responses to the individual platforms -- great satire with an inspired premise.

Thank you so much! I figured somebody had to go this way with the Puck route, and with the multiple axes I've got to grind with various social media platforms lately, it might as well be me.
