1.) One positive change has come of the previously mentioned manifesto. But fuckery continues at work, with new fuckeries to add to the list. Of course.

2.) Last week, I saw The Woman In Black. I think it's a delightful gothic horror, with a wonderful atmosphere (aided along by some stellar set dressing and a brilliant location - unless that was

Ugh, I'm sorry to hear that work is so stressful right now. :/ Hope things get better soon. *hugs*

I'm glad you got to see The Woman in Black and enjoyed it. :) I really want to see it (I haven't gone to the movies since seeing The Muppets), but won't be able to this weekend due to prior commitments. Maybe next weekend.

I can't offer any prompts at the moment, but I'd LOVE to read some Sherlockian fic! :D

I have yet to read Odd and the Frost Giants, glad to hear it was Neiltastic. :D Btw, I was reading Neil's blog and he mentioned writing an "HBO pilot," but didn't specify in his post what it was. Whaaaaaa...?! I totally missed something. Do you know anything about that? I'm so out of the loop.

*more hugs*

[philomel]

Thanks, hon. *hugs*

I hope you get to see it. :) Same here... that was the first time I'd been to the movies since The Muppets too (although I don't get to the movies that often, so that doesn't seem too long ago, really).

It was indeed! Not his best work ever, but still had all the charm and beauty and quality you expect from him. I think the HBO pilot he referred to is the American Gods adaptation, but don't quote me on that. I know he's been working on that project, and I've tried to keep up with his postings on Twitter (which he tends to compile -- in more detail -- in his blog posts), but he's so chatty sometimes, it's easy to miss stuff. Apparently, he's also currently working on a short story that will bridge American Gods with its sequel -- yet another project he has in the works!

OMG, an HBO American Gods adaptation could be FANTASTIC. :D But don't worry, I won't quote you on it. ;) LOL, you're right, Neil can be extremely chatty sometimes in his blog, and I must admit, sometimes I skim his posts if they're particularly long, so that's probably how I missed it. I'm happy to hear he's writing again and that we'll have some new stuff to look forward to. :)

Same here, especially when he used to answer a ton of questions in his posts. You should see him on Twitter though! Well, he used to be pretty gabby. Since he's been in hermit/writing mode, he's been a little quieter. But there have been times when I swear over 50% of the Twitter posts I got in a day were either from him directly or were things that he'd re-tweeted. How he has time to keep up with that and do all the brilliant, creative things he does is beyond me!

You need Sherlock to come into your lab and give them a severe dressing down. Speaking of dressing down .... I assume you've seen this (Sherlock about to lose his sheet) and this?

I know I warned you off War Horse, but I did just post some photos and clips of Tom & Benedict's scenes. They simply must reteam in a better movie! (Oh, and there's fic, too. ;D)

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Woman in Black. If you get a chance to check out the '80s version (it's not on DVD) would be curious what you think. No one very famous in it, except for James Potter, Miss Lemon from PBS's Poirot and a very young Steven Mackintosh (if you know who he is). But I did like it and I gather it's more subtle than the new version. (No CGI, I'm quite sure!)

[philomel]

See, you totally distracted me by saying "dressing down," even before I got to the clips. ;) Fuck, those are some of my favorite scenes. Although you see even more of Benedict in To The Ends Of The Earth. And apparently he went full frontal in Frankenstein (gah, why didn't anyone snap a covert photo of him on stage?). Of course, that was as the Creature, so... not the sexiest of contexts. *grin*

Awesome, I'll check those out! I have seem some interviews with Ben and Tom promoting War Horse, and they seem to have gotten on really well.

Ooh, Steven Macintosh! Apparently, Netflix doesn't have the original. But maybe, with a little sleuthing around, I can find it online somewhere else.

That part with Sherlock in Buckingham Palace in only a sheet and John and Sherlock giggling is hilarious. :D

[autumnsparkle]

Don't know if you've read it already, but there's a fantastic John/Sherlock fic out there called The sensation of falling as you just hit sleep. It's gorgeous and plotty and just, gah. ♥

And omg you're doing Sherlock prompts? \o/ x 1000(00000000) I have a million ideas, but I'd love for you to write something pre-slashy about Sherlock having a fanboy and John being amused at it (and possibly jealous, because Sherlock inexplicably tolerates it and sometimes even flirts back). Or, you know, something non-smutty about a long taxi ride in the dark.

Yay!

[philomel]

Thanks for the rec! I haven't had a chance to read any long fic like that yet, but -- just glancing over the header -- that already has me intrigued!

*claps* Hee, jealous!Watson could be so much fun. I'll see what I can do. Thank you so much for the prompt ideas. :D

[autumnsparkle]

Yeah, it's insanely long, but it's got print-screens of John's blog and texts and all sorts of clever things and great dialogue. And it's only part 1 of a series, so there's much more to come!

Haha, happy writing! ;)

[philomel]

That sounds fun! I truly wish there was more time in the day for reading... fic or anything, really.

And John/Sherlock fic - yay and squeeee! - and let it be angsty and have tons of UST - kplzthx!

[philomel]

Oh god, yes. Sometimes fan art makes me inexplicably uncomfortable. But that one? Nnnngh. So pretty too.

Angsty and full of UST? Sounds good! :D Come on, muses, that has to get you motivated....

[ladyofrivendell]

Benedict Cumberbatch! mmmmmmmmm

[philomel]

YES! :D So much adoration for him.
