Three Four things make a post, right?

I'm voluntarily breaking my heart by watching "Victoria's Secret" again, for reasons having to do with the 20th anniversary of due South on the 23rd of this month. (Their anniversary is on Shakespeare's death date? This seems oddly appropriate somehow.) God, this episode hurts ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm surfacing finally -- oops?

I have no idea what to post, either, other than to mention that in about 4 weeks, we hit the 20th anniversary of the due South pilot.  There will be fanworks, there will pic spam and rec sets, people are encouraged to make new art for the event.  It's technically Weds 23rd April, but since that is middle of ( Read more... )

I'm thinking I should have started this post much earlier today. Oh, well. I'm also hoping like hell I actually tagged all of these with 'fic: postings' or I'll never find them all.  (One link to each, usually to Dreamwidth, which still has subjects on comments, or to AO3.)
