Fanfic meme!
I've borrowed this from eolivet, because it seemed a really fun idea! (And I'm feeling very bored and unwell today, so, meh..)
Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written [within the last eighteen months or so], and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what ( Read more... ) -
Me meme (lol...)
In the interests of procrastination (always), I'll have a stab at this... In which I discover how very boring I am!

More Birdsong!
So, now that I'm thinking about it, I can't stop.
My last post was about the power of the front line scenes in Birdsong. But really, the point of the novel is about the two greatest extremes of what you can feel - fear and arousal.
Stephen and Isabelle's affair is of absolute importance. Now, here I bang on about sex scenes again, but truly for once ( Read more... ) -
Birdsong
(and a little Downton...)
There's been quite a bit of media hype about the new BBC adaptation of Birdsong. I've been hugely excited about it - I read it in my English Lit A-Level, and it became my favourite book.

My Series 3 wish!
This is a little bit random. I apologise. And it may sound slightly broken-record-ish of me. But, oh well!
So having now seen the proposal, and with many people hoping to see the wedding in Series 3, I'm going to add my tuppence and say that... what I'd really, really love to see, is something - anything - a moment! - prelude, aftermath, anything - ( Read more... ) -
Random notes on ITV's Downton Abbey BTS special!
Eeeeeeeeeeee I AM SO EXCITED FOR SUNDAY.
I've no idea how to record it to upload here or anything, but thought I'd share observations because I AM TOO EXCITED. No big spoilers, just a scene description that in my opinion, is significant...

Downton speculation courtesy of my parents - I LOVE THEM.
At this moment in time, I BLOODY LOVE MY PARENTS.
It all started when, in an innoccuous phone call to my mother, she asked that immortal question...
"So, what did you think of Downton this week??"

My Dear, I Wanted to Tell You
So, this is the title of the audiobook I'm currently listening to, written by Louisa Young. I admit, I was tempted by shallow reasonings in that it's narrated by Dan Stevens... But I'd actually heard of it before I knew that and had been tempted to read it! Anyway, I have a tedious commute and so I figured actually, it'd be great to listen to a ( Read more... ) -
