Very exciting news!

How close are you to the 1000 subscribers and revealing your theory/evidence for the Dark Lady of the Sonnets?

It's starting to snow-ball, but perhaps if you post this to the Oxford crowd, we can be there in a few weeks? I'm sure they will be interested in this new poem. And they will definitely be interested in the Dark Lady.

Well, I'm sure you'll get there pretty quickly. I actually have no interactions with Oxfordians, other than peripherally on your Facebook page once in a while :-) It seems to me that the Oxford theory has largely run out of steam, though I do find certain aspects of it to be attractive. But overall, your North theory offers much more tangible evidence...I'm just not yet convinced in that scenario whether North (in his source plays) or Shakespeare (in doing the adaptations) is responsible for what we love in the canon (the poetry, wit, characterizations, psychology, dramatic development). So I'm hoping your ongoing discoveries will help bridge that gap.
