Mod announcement the second!

Apr 02, 2011 11:33

Hello Mycroftees! Not even midday yet and already a second mod announcement, what are we like?

So if you've been reading recent posts up to now you'll know that Raks has handed ownership of Mycrofting over to me. A lot of new members will probably not know who I am, but don't panic! I've been with Mycrofting since its inception (which had nothing ( Read more... )

Helloooo! We've exchanged comments, so I feel I know you a little bit. I'm Kim. I realize that's a bit confusing with the "bettie" user name. That was taken from a small craft company my best friend and I started several years back. She made jewelry and I did knitted goods, mostly purses. Brown Apple Betty is an American dessert made with apples (obviously), bread crumbs, and cinnamon. We thought it was funny to combine the idea of something wholesome with the concept of the "bad apple" and we wanted to evoke a bit of 50s pin up naughtiness so we spelled Betty the way Bettie Page did. Eh, voila! BadAppleBetties. It's become my default username, so you can find me here and on DeviantArt under it. Of course, the only problem is that people in the fandom now tend to think my name is Bettie. One could have worse problems ( ... )

It's a pleasure Kim! I hope no one actually thinks my name is Chrysanthemum - my parents aren't that cruel!

I will sadly admit that I have not yet seen Jeremy Brett as Holmes, despite my housemate inviting me to watch it several times. Must get on that. I have however seen the Guy Ritchie film and even more excitingly, one of my friends has helped make some of the costumes for the second film! I might ask her if she could write a short pieces about it, because I'm sure people here would find it interesting.

BBC Sherlock was everything I hoped it would be and more. It's actually helped me decide to move to London next year, which is something I've been dithering over for a while. You will see me in London over Easter anyway, my family lives really close by. I cannot wait!

♥ for the Buffy quote!

Oh, I highly recommend the Brett series, especially if you're a fan of the original stories. They just got everything right. One of the most interesting Benedict interviews for me (which of course I can't find now) was one in which he talked about Brett's interpretation. He had the unique perspective of having known Brett because he was a family friend. He talked a lot about the darker aspects of playing Holmes and how difficult that was for Brett, who was naturally a very ebullient person but who also suffered from clinical depression. Interesting stuff ( ... )

It's on my to watch list for the summer, definitely :) I would love to see that interview if you can find it as well - Brett seems fascinating from what I've heard of him! I remember talking about him at work before I left last month, and one of my collogues was expressing some interesting opinions on his mental state ( ... )

Hi Kim, I'm Kim! I guess I now understand why I heard someone calling my name at the Sunrise but no one seemed to be looking for me, and I was with all the people who knew my name. And oddly enough, we're both about the same age.

I hope you have an amazing time in London, you lucky thing you. Making that trip is one of my major goals in life.
