filtered against evil
Between catching up on all the history I have missed as well as trying to research the apocalypse, I found something called "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" and have read some of the sonnets and plays. I think it fascinating how much he was able to write and the different genres but some of it seems far fetched, even for fiction.

"Never was there a tale of such woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo"

Apparently this is one of his more famous works and is a tragedy as the two title characters died. I just do not see how dying because of a rash decision is tragic? They said it was love but the entire plot takes place in a week. The meeting and marriage I a day...

I have nothing against romance and love stories but this seemed more a story on things not thought out and is then described as a love story for all times.

	I wouldn't say twilight is a love story so much as poorely written fan fiction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A lot of times, when people read or watch something, they will want to expand on that universe or change things they think should have gone differently. So they basically write their own version of stories, but those writers are usually amateur writers and while some of them might be good, they are usually pretty bad. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fan fiction. Warning, don't start with your favorites. Might make you a bit angry. (Reply to this) (Parent)
