"What we have is the here and now, and what we have is each other, and let’s find a way to deal truthfully with each other." -Christopher Eccleston, in an interview on the program “Heaven and Earth ( Read more... )

fannishliss has turned my vague idea (about Pod Clock, of The Borrowers, meeting up with an action figure based on one of Eccleston's movie roles) into a beautiful little 1000-word fic. Go read it, and tell her how perfect and sweet it is.

Well, lately I seem to be putting a lot more time and energy into Tumblr than into LiveJournal. It provides more instant gratification, but also. I think, shallower interactions. (Wow, almost 500 people liked this arrangement of pictures enough to move their mouse over to the "like" or "reblog" button. Okay ( Read more... )

So, I've been reading back through fannishliss's journal, using the "eccleston rules" tag. Her review of "Let Him Have It" was great and to the point, so I asked her if I could post it here, and she said yes. Thank you, liss!

I think I'm an archivist at heart. I like data. I like compiling things.

thefirthyone has been posting her answers to the 30 Day Challenge on Tumblr. (Her Tumblr identity is fuckyeahecclesex, in case any of you lurkers don't know that. There are hordes of lurkers out there, aren't there? I like to imagine there are, anyway.) And all month, I've been ( Read more... )

At first I thought I couldn't possibly choose, but I was able to narrow it down to four. Many thanks to thefirthyone for locating two of these pictures for me (and being able to figure out which ones I meant from the verbal descriptions).

30 Days of Christopher Eccleston

27. Favourite interview or article/favourite quote from CE

My favorite interview has got to be his appearance on Top Gear. He's so relaxed and funny, probably because he's not talking about his work. When he's interviewed about one of his acting roles, he tends to overthink and get concerned about saying the ( Read more... )

30 Days of Christopher Eccleston

26. Favourite audio book/story/drama read by CE

That would have to be Sacred Nation, a documentary he did for BBC radio about the religious history of Britain. It's great because it's a fascinating subject, and it's *hours* long - hours and hours of Eccles-voice. [UPDATE: Sacred Nation is once again available ( Read more... )
