1. In Yuletide, I see that TWO people have offered the 1968 Dracula. I am all faint with the shock. I would have been matchable with just my three nominated super-obscure fandoms! (But possibly difficult.) In celebration, I removed one of my other requests. I was worrying about maybe not wanting it quite as much as the others - and two other

Snap! (as regards the Russian translation). I think it's the same translator, too.

Heh, cool! :-)

She really was lovely - I found and saved the 1945 The Wicked Lady of hers (found it when I was chasing up the endearingly awful film version of Heyer's Reluctant Widow) but have't watched it yet...

[lost_spook]

Yes, she was - and she's got plenty of character and strength in her, too, which makes all the difference. :-)

I still haven't got to The Wicked Lady. I decided to watch the films in the boxset in chronological order, so next up is either Love Story or Give Us The Moon, and then The Wicked Lady!

I'll be fascinated to hear what you think {eg}

[lost_spook]

I think you can safely count on me telling you all. :-)

Ohhh, look at how epic and gorgeous she is!! Wow...

[lost_spook]

She's lovely! :-)

She is very pretty, isn't she - and another one who rather suits black and white. Love that second gif, with the play of light.

And crikey, two whole other fans! That practically makes it a gigantic fandom by our standards! I hope you're right, and that it will lead to something nice for you to read.

Well, there's no guarantee they're actual fans, but they're willing to write it for Yuletide and don't seem to have been scared off by my letter (given that mine is the only request). Of course, it depends on matching - at the moment, I'm presumably matchable on that and Adam Adamant, and very possibly for Ripper Street as well - and if I don't get matched with the Dracula people, a treat is possible, but you can't count on that. But it's still very encouraging! If your darling obscure fandom is at least short and has femslash gifs and uncool vampires and is a 90 min thing up on YouTube, somebody will take pity on you!

Anyway, thank you - and Yuletide being what it is, I'm pretty sure I will get something nice to read! That's the joy of it, really.

My two TV serieses, nope. Ah well... ;-) (This morning an anon on Tumblr led me to pics of wee James maxwell at uni so I don't care about anything else for the rest of today.)

Oh boy! Angsting on the roof in the rain - some tropes are VERY old, aren't they?!

And I love that the hero was the damsel in distress - that's the kind of genderbending I'm totally here for!

(PS Finished the epic proof-reading. Go me!)

[lost_spook]

Well, I think he angsted it the rain and then on the roof, but not both combined - but yes, they are!!

And, yay, well done of completely the epic proof-reading! \o/

[persiflage_1]

LOL Okay...

Thanks. My friend wanted to know if I'd slept at all in the past 8 days. Assured her I had - and done all sorts of other RL stuff (like work, groans) but I am a very fast reader.
