Huge thanks and congratulations to everyone who participated in the Hornblower Remix Challenge and made Lord H's birthday a day (and night!) to remember.

This is a picspam tribute to the show, and more specifically certain scenes within this show, that started it all. I owe so much to it, and to all the wonderful people in our small but very friendly fandom ( Read more... )
