I think Ammie Hawk contains a rip-off from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. I did it for my Junior Cert (Two years ago) Junior Cert: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_Certificate In the first chapter, it is said . However from The Merchant of Venice, I remember from my translation a line when Bassanio is trying to win Portia by choosing the right casket -there is a casket of gold, silver and lead and the lead one contains the picture of Portia-. The line is all that glistens is not gold. I would like to see whichever one done. I don't think I could do a MST though. |

I am currently taking donations, for Everton FC. I am afraid that our chairman has forgotten to cough up. So if you could hand me a penny and I will dance for you :P. I am the monkey and you hold the box, so be nice with that. I don't want to dance like that! Creative Insight | |

The author may not know she was using Shakespeare. "Not all that glitters is gold" is a common expression and was a line in a popular Smash Mouth song "All Star." Many things Shakespeare created has become part of our everyday language that we don't often realize we're quoting Shakespeare. I have an entire poster from the Globe that illustrates this point. In short, it's not a rip-off. It's just an inclusion of an idiom Shakespeare created. |

Thanks for the explanation Mac. I suppose being forced to do Shakespeare makes you see these things :P. So, seriously, how do you write a MST? |

No, I understand. I was studying theater myself when I wrote many of my early MSTs. So a few of them, namely Two Hearts, One Soul, got a lot of what I learned about melodrama dumped into riffs. And I answered the MST question in another thread. |

Thank you. -bows down to Mac- Shakespeare is lovely -rolls eyes-. But what if you are not a funny sort of person or your funny is not common funny? |

You'll just have to try. Do a one-shot first and see what happens. Just let the jokes happen. Don't try to cater to what you think we'll find funny. That's just a recipe for failure. No matter what happens, someone will find a riff that we like. |
