So I finally got around to acquiring and watching the most excellent miniseries The Devil's Whore, set during the English Civil War and starring a pantheon of stars: Andrea Riseborough, John Simm, Dominic Monaghan (as Oliver Cromwell!!!!), Michael Fassbender & Peter Capaldi (as King Charles I!) It's absolutely lovely. The cinematography is frankly ( Read more... )

I am so excited for remixredux09 reveals; there are more stories I want to rec but I might as well do that after the authors have been revealed. No doubt I'll be reading more of the stories once I find out which ones all you lovely people on my friends list wrote! (And I cannot wait to properly thank my lovely remixer ( Read more... )

I've been reading some of the wonderful stories in this year's remixredux09. My only complaint is that there are so many of them that I'm sure I'm missing out on some gems.

Whoa, well done, RTD. I care. And I'm engaged. And have DEEP DEEP TERROR. You win, you bloody cocktease.

See you on the other side.
