Hello! I think I've lurked in this community before although I didn't join for some reason I've forgotten. In any case, after watching the 1982 film, I decided to join in on the love.

I first encountered TSP in a Superman fanfic, of all places (Darkest Dreams by SmirkyRaven, if you're curious), and so when I saw a paperback copy of the novel at a ( Read more... )

Fic fluff!!

So I wrote this fic for a challange thing my friend is doing. It's not just Pimpernel, but there are two of us with Percy on our fandom lists. If you're interested in knowing more take a look.

Once upon a time, I was IMing with kiffie and, for reasons which are no longer entirely clear to me, I wrote her this.

Please may I have screencaps of Lord Anthony Dewhurst from the 1982 version? My love and I just watched it and it was his first viewing, and he observed that 'Tony looks like our vision of Lucius Malfoy.

So my friend and I love the Pimpernel very dearly and have had a demmed time finding icons for her. (She plays Percy and I play Margot in an RP) and since I'm addicted to Photoshop I've made icons. Lots of icons. This post has 26 and one wallpaper. So I thought I'd share the love. Feedback would be great and feel free to join if you like them ( Read more... )

The Norwegian Pimpernel site has linked to some footage of their performance(s).

Gah! I would love to see this film, as I've read and re-read Amanda Foreman's biography of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, but Keira Knightley, for heaven's sake? She doesn't even pass as an eighteenth century clothes horse - the best corset in the world couldn't shove her boobs up over her ribcage!

My slightly belated review of the last Clayton volume, Bordeaux Red.

So I wondered - are there certain 'characters', in real life, that jump out of the story/text books for you? Has Orczy lead you to ( Read more... )
