Has anyone tried this?

[Officelover]

Has anyone tried to write a comedic story?

Or a tragic story? I know that there have been stories with tragic endings and little interwoven jokes. I think that it would would be fun to include some of them, for variation.

If anyone is willing to try it, I'd read it.

ha ha we could make a Shakespeare styled story.

That is a good idea though, I haven't seen it. Hoping someone does it :).

i tried to make my story entertaining, and include some jokes.
its not wedding crashers or anything, but it might make you chuckle

[Hampers]

Wedding Crashers was a tragedy, no?

[Coyote]

[coolio5]

Wedding Crashers was a tragedy, no?

uh, well i considered it a ridiculously funny comedy

but yeah like i said, i tried to include some humor in places

Seriously, an author writing a TorD story in Shakespeare would be itself comedy. :p

Why would you do such a strange thing as that?
Don't you think after a while it'd get flat?

I advise a different meter,
Though Hiawatha text, none sweet'r.

[Hampers: No way is 'a' a stress...]

I will attempt a comedic tragedy in Shakespereian, I will tell you when I post it, and I am willing to take any suggestions, pm me with them.

While emulating William Shakespeare,
A la Richard the Third or King Lear,
Remember, intended 'Tragedian'
Often ends up 'Comedian':
Such pastiching serves no purpose here.
