And I think it was plenty funny. Poor Agent Glass... at least the mission went off mostly hitch-less.
...but wow. Sues for Shakespeare. That almost hurts my head.

Actually, I've decided to work on the "Prequels," the adventures of Agent Glass in the English Classics continuum, when she had no partner and little contact with HQ. First one of those is up, the disposal of Morgain, who wants to relieve Don Pedro of "Much Ado About Nothing" of his bachelorhood. Suggestions for improvement are welcome, as I don't think it turned out very funny... But it's done! Huzzah!
…Shakespeare badfic makes the Bard spin in his grave, right? And when anyone makes Shakespeare spin in his grave that's moving his bones, right?
Excellent mission. I gather that the Sue has "twenty trenchéd gashes in her head/The least a death to glitter?"
Nice stanza... I should try to come up with a poetic death (or at least a poetic epigram) for the next one(s), but I just needed that one to go away quickly.

Shakespeare 'Sues appear to show up most frequently in Romeo and Juliet 'fic, but the Goddess Diana may need to be dissuaded from redeeming/saving MacBeth at some point.
Thanks!
I thought it was very funny. It can be really hard to write solo missions, but you pulled it off very well.
I can't believe there's Sues for "Much Ado About Nothing." That's just...gyah. Well slain.
I may need to pull in a friend as an outside consultant on the next one as he has a longbow and there are three of them, but we'll see how things go with the rest of the solos. I don't get to make up nearly as much silly dialog, I found.
Yes. >_> Probably because of that great film version.
I did not know this. Who's in it?
Oh, yeah. It's the Kenneth Branagh one--I thought it was really cool. Branagh, Kate Beckinsale, Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington as Don Pedro, Keanu Reeves as a surprisingly well done Don John. Michael Keaton is Dogberry. It's amusing, veeeery pretty, in line with the script, and has great music. I can't say much about the costuming, as it's been a while since I watched it and I don't really remember.
How dare a Sue mess with Shakespeare like that? And her backstory was so ... dumb ...
Not that you expect much better from a Sue, of course. Nice work!
