Hey ho... about holiday cards and other stuff.

Hmm.. seems like LJ is gonna be a end of the year thing now? I keep saying to myself I want to post here more often, and then I totally forget. XD My fandom life is more on Tumblr, Instagram and Discord these days. I also still hang around on Xtwitter, and I'm also on Bluesky (if anyone needs an invite for it, I have a few). I'm Sillie82 pretty ( Read more... )

Hey you! How wonderful you're watching and loving Doctor Who :-) As you know that got me into Torchwood which I then liked a little more :-p Ten is definitely my Doctor too, gosh he's so good in that. <3 Have you ever watched Broadchurch? He's a grumpy detective in that, it's very VERY dark, but so good.

Did not get around to Good Omens yet, but did watch David and Michael's lock down series Staged (dorks).

I have wondered about the Witcher books, a co-worker of mine is reading them too. I did see a couple of episodes and Henry Cavill is delicious, but I couldn't really get into how the story was told, although it did make me curious about the books. I never thought I liked the genre, but ever since I read Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling and the rest of her Nightrunner series years ago, I know it's not the genre but the characters that get you hooked, and he does seem very interesting!

Oh, right: I haven't moved, so you have my address. I've quit Twitter, but you know where else to find me; still at LJ and DW periodically with graphics and travel posts ;-)

Heey! I actually don't know why I didn't watch Doctor Who before because it's right up my alley. I must have had a reason. Anyway, I'm really enjoying it now. :D Yes, I've seen Braodchurch. Alec is such a grump, but also a softy, and I love him. :')

I've seen season 1 of Staged and loved it. Still need to see the rest. If you'd ever want to watch Good Omens with someone... well... ;)

I think the Witcher books are pretty good. I've read The Last Witch and Sword of Destiny, which are collections of short stories set in the Witcher world. I have now started Blood of Elves, which is the first one in the Witcher series. There are lots of really interesting characters. I really enjoy it. :)

Good to know. :D I need to remind myself to check in on LJ/DW occasionally. Btw, if you're interested in Bluesky, I have some invites if you'd wanted to try it. :)

Thanks for your caaaaaaaaaaard; I love your adorbs Crowley and Aziraphale <3 I will definitely contact you to watch Good Omens; I have read the book years ago, so I know the story of the first season, no idea what the second season was about;-)
I also still want to do a full SPN rewatch, I have the complete DVD boxset here tempting me to start with that...

Those short stories sound like a good introduction to see if I like the writing of The Witcher, thanks for the recs:)

I haven't looked into Bluesky yet; I did sign up for a couple of other spaces I thought fandom was moving towards. If you still have an invite, I'd love one!
