* ''Fanfic/MuchAdoAboutShakespeareLovesLaboursWon'': The fic has twofold: ''Love's Labour's Won'' is a lost play attributed by contemporaries to William Shakespeare. Scholars dispute whether it is a true lost work, possibly a sequel to ''Theatre/LovesLaboursLost'', or an alternative title to a known Shakespeare play. ''Much Ado about Shakespeare'' is of course a play on ''Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing''.
