Fakespeare

​

'Fakespeare' is just a bit of Facebook fun. People send me bits of source text and I convert them into something that looks like Shakespeare wrote it. Only better.

​

You can suggest something for me to work on if you want! Just send me a suggestion via Facebook Messenger or by email to: ian@ianrowland.com . Please cite the source and include the complete text you want me to work on.

​

Length? Something that would fit comfortably into a Facebook post and give people a bit of mild amusement.

What kind of source texts should you send me?

(1) Well known speeches from contemporary films and TV shows. But keep them family-friendly, please. E.g. the 'Do you feel lucky?' speech from 'Dirty Harry'; the 'It's actually cerulean' speech from 'The Devil Wears Prada'; the 'We live in a world that has walls' speech from 'A Few Good Men'. 

(2) Dry, dull, passages of purely functional, bureaucratic or administrative prose. E.g. part of the instructions for a washing machine, or the signage at a public car park, or part of the descriptive text for a box of paperclips from Amazon.

(3) Anything else that you think would be fun for me to convert to Fakespeare.

Love to you all. If we haven't got silliness, we haven't got anything.
