William Shakespeare has been credited with the creation of Much
Ado About Nothing, but regardless of whoever actually wrote it, I
don't think I'm in danger of being sued for misusing it.  My
apologies nonetheless to the Bard.


       Actually, I think he'd get a kick out of it.  Ol' Will *was* a 
specialist in sex comedy, after all.  I can't help but think he'd have used 
the Jusenkyo idea if it had been workable within his means and his audience.

       Aside from that, how do I C&C this?  No obvious spelling or 
grammatical errors, good pacing, lean and quick writing without sacrificing 
depth.  And the parallels running beween the play and "real life" are handled 
with downright amazing deftness.  This is one of the fics I'm always happy to 
see landing in my inbox.
       Not to mention that, as I've suspected from the beginning, doing this 
movie is beginning to have feedback effects on the cast, as well.
       On another note, while I know diddly about filmmaking, the trials and 
travails of Nabs and her "writer" (whose initials are, I misdoubt me, S.I., 
but it's all good) in getting this film in the can have a ring of 
authenticity to my ear, as do some of the tricks and techniques.  Have you 
done this, or did you find a film school student willing to consult for 
peanuts?  <grin>
