My Year in Fandom (In Pictures!)

[auselysium]

This is something I've wanted to do for a long time. One post with all my obsessions in one place

I loved this.

You introduced me to Roman and Deniz, and reminded me of how much I love the movie Maurice (and Rupert Graves).

Awww having healthy Gale back was the highlight of the year.

And you introduced me to NNITL and Lee Williams this year - of which I am forever grateful. *hugs*

[auselysium]

Oh no!! I knew I forgot something...I might have to go back and add NNITL. Was that this year or late 2008? I can't remember...

having healthy Gale back was the highlight of the year. Agreed!!

So glad you enjoyed. It was wonderful revisiting all these sweet moments between all the boys I love. So happy to share them with you. ♥

[atomic_dawn]

Oh it might have been late 2008. I don't know where 2009 went so its possible I lost track of time LOL

[auselysium]

I can't remember either. So many boys...so little time.

I left them out cause I thought they were '08 but maybe I'm wrong. I left out John Paul and Keiron and John Paul and Craig cause they were 2008 even though I just rewatched the whole thing on YouTube recently. One must have standards of squeeing. I can't just post any old boy now, can I? *nods*

;)

Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes... yep... you and I have VERY similar tastes in gay romances. ;D

[auselysium]

you and I have VERY similar tastes in gay romances.

Then you must have impeccable taste, my dear. :)

*happy sigh*

[auselysium]

I know. Aren't they all just fabulous?? :)

OH MY GOODNESS. Lovely post, just lovely. If I had all the spare time I wanted, I'd watch all of these. Thank you for all the pretty pics and descriptions. Must find "Maurice" as I have never seen it and it sounds WONDERFUL.

[auselysium]

It is a MUST see in my book. Here is a link to the first part on YouTube. If you are like me, you won't be able to stop watching, but it is so worth it!!!

Enjoy!!

Ok, well there goes my night. I am in love already.

"You'll understand then, I don't have to explain."

"Understand what?"

"That I love you."

"Don't talk rubbish."

And my heart just broke.

I have to go watch more now.

Hugh Grant + British accents + historical romance + boys in love + emotional struggle against conformity and tradition and all that is expected = THANK YOU FOR THIS POST.

I owe you something. Not sure what yet, but I'll figure it out.

[auselysium]

OMG honey...you ain't seen nothing yet!! But yeah, that part is amazing. And isn't it wonderful to see Hugh Grant actually acting and not just being the same character??

And just wait until Rupert Graves comes into the scene. Oh, just enjoy so much!! Just talking about it makes me want to go watch again. Amazing, amazing movie. :)

I've never seen an American soap opera. Of course, I love Brothers & Sisters, but I have never seen an American version of what Spanish people call telenovela, and I had no idea some of them had gay characters. :) I'll try watching One Life to Live, if it's not too cheesy. :)

And this is such a great idea, I'll have to do it myself!

[auselysium]

American soaps are by in large, pretty terrible. The writing is usually really bad and the acting is notoriously awful. But the two guys playing Kyle and Oliver are really very sweet (and cute!!!) and the story line has played out nicely. I'm still more devoted to the German/Spanish soaps, but I'll stick this one out. :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed the post! It was SO much fun to do!! The best part was scouring the web for all the pics. :)
