skygiantsA rough transcription of a conversation that happened last week in California:
skygiants: I think as a follow-up to The Borgias there needs to be a terrible sleazy Showtime series about the Romantics! It would be kind of like this comic! Seriously, I have been waiting for this for years.
pseudo_tsuga: Well, I don't know about that, but I did find an ARC recently of a YA novel about the dramatic lives of Byron, Keats and Shelley . . . in a US high school.

aamalie and allchildren, sensibly: HAHAHA that sounds ridiculous!
skygiants: HAHAHA that sounds ridiculous . . . and I must acquire and read it immediately!
So the path before me seemed to have been prepared! HOWEVER, then on Friday I was lurking in the YA section of the bookstore waiting forshati, and I discovered, in addition to So Shelly . . .
1. Jane: Jane Eyre is saving money for Sarah Lawrence and Rochester is a rock star!
2. Withering Tights: performing art school on the eerie Yorkshire moors! This may not be an actual high school AU of Wuthering Heights but between the title and the oft-mentioned 'eerie similarity' of the moors I think it's close enough to count
3. Falling for Hamlet: High School AU's Ophelia's life is not only dominated by Prince Hamlet's family drama . . . but also by high school drama and paparazzi!
4. Another Pan: Not only is Peter Pan now a sexy supernatural high school student gang leader at an elite private school who is leading astray nice young Wendy Darling . . . but he's searching for the lost Egyptian secrets of eternal youth!
And now, guys, I don't even know what to do. I feel like I have to read at least one of these, but I really don't think I have the time or fortitude to tackle all of them! Therefore, I turn to the internet for assistance!
You can vote at the LJ crosspost, because I do not have enough account at DW to do polls here.
PS I have already read the AU in which Jane Eyre is a cyborg.
