Fixed, thank you! ~_~

Quick question - regarding the Shakespeare category - is that for highly derivative fandoms as well? The fandom has no connection to fandoms of the original plays, since the setting, characters, and plot are completely changed. The show itself definitely uses the star-crossed lovers trope, but that and the names are all that are preserved (contrasted with, for example, the DiCaprio movie or Rosencrantz). -Briar pipe (talk) 20:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

I created the category (and the Shakespeare article) and have been including derivative properties which are not strict adaptations, such as 10 Things I Hate About You, when I come across them. At the moment, the category is pretty small (though I plan to create some more plays when I can), so I don't think they are particularly overwhelming. I think it's quite interesting how far away from the source these things can go, while still obviously referencing it ('professional fanfiction'). Espresso Addict (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
