Desktops, that is - well, wallpapers, anyway.

I have about a ton of TSP wallpapers and/or screensavers, on a sliding scale of fun-but-amateur to rather-obviously-Photoshopped, so thought I would post one here to get start off a gallery (I hope) of Percy/Margot desktop shrines from people. Any contributors?

First impressions

After reading a couple of negative reviews of TSP at Librarything, from readers who must either be male or philistines not to at least enjoy this book, I wondered if Orczy's style might be a barrier to a good story ( Read more... )

Watching the A&E series

I finally started watching the A&E miniseries of The Scarlet Pimpernel. So far I've only finished the first tape. Hmm, it was an okay movie. I still have yet to find a film version of Chauvelin that I truly like... Am I just too picky when it comes to movie portrayals of that character? However, one scene that I rather did enjoy is when Percy is in ( Read more... )

Alignments

dame_grise wrote in demmed_elusive Feb 21, 2008 09:27

One of my RPs did a meme about character alignment (as in Dungeons & Dragons) and left the link to the Wikipedia article. Of course, I play Armand there, so I was poking through the descriptions trying to decide if Armand was more chaotic or neutral and saw that one of the examples cited for Neutral Good was Zorro, who was based on our beloved ( Read more... )

Heyer, Heyer

I've probably asked this before, but I can't remember: calling all fans of Georgette Heyer, which books would you recommend for a sort of beginner? (I've read 'The Talisman Ring' and 'The Masqueraders', because they are Georgian and not Regency.) I've been a tad prejudiced against Regency romances in the past, but I keep finding Heyer's titles on ( Read more... )

holiday fic challenge
