I believe firmly in everyone's right to crack!AUs. I think that crack!AUs are one of fandom's greatest strengths--our endless capacity to reinvent the works that we love, and to stretch the boundaries of our readers' recognition, gives me hope for the possibility of creation and communion.
So I won't say that Orson Scott Card shouldn't have written his egregiously offensive retelling of Hamlet. I will say, however, that I think it's painful, upsetting, and not at all in the spirit of the play that I love.
I'll say this, as well: If you don't like Card's Hamlet, you can write another. This thread is for that.
