Hello! In the north laines there's a shop full of miscellany which is about the size of a warehouse. In it I saw a signed Derren Brown picture which I picked up with the intention of buying it for you, then got distracted by a Spock pose-able doll and put it down. :( Should you want it, I think it was about £12 and opposite all the Doctor Who stuff.

It's a mystery to me about the lack of Peep Show fanfic.

Oh, I love that shop! It is the best place for things you don't need but inexplicably want (I saw a Laurel and Hardy statuette in there once). I probably won't get the picture, because buying an already-signed item feels a bit like cheating, but thank you for letting me know!

Once I saw a TMP-era Spock cuddly toy there. If it wasn't in it's box, I would have bought it and carried it around everywhere like a four year old :DD:

It is, in fact, heartbreakingly brilliant My Little Pony fanfic. It didn't actually make me cry, but it's really good.

Oh, I'd completely missed the fact that you were moving! Awesome! Whereabouts are you now? (And thank you very much for the offer, which I may have to seriously consider if we don't get some warmth in this house soon. At the moment, I'm sleeping on sofa cushions by the not-very-portable electric heater, because if I slept in my bedroom I would die.)

Probably you went there and saw them, or at least found them elsewhere, but there are a few Peep Show fics on AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Peep%20Show/works

I ran into a similar problem when musing on sending Derren Brown to Silent Hill, actually. 'Broken glass? Potential for injury? I can't send him to Silent Hill if he'd enjoy it.'

I feel that this is a good reason to TRY sending Derren Brown there. In the name of experimental science!

I have indeed found those (Dafna Greer's are delightful), but thank you for the link! AO3 is the only archive I've found that actually has a Peep Show section; I'm hoping the existence of the category will encourage more people to write for it.

There's actually a Brown-in-Silent-Hill segment planned for the ridiculous Derren-as-the-Doctor's companion fic I'm writing with moogle62, but as that fic is now twenty-two thousand words long and nowhere near finished I'm starting to doubt whether it will ever see the light of day.

It was lovely! And I found it through your journal, I believe, so thank you for the link!

Er, the quote in the title is from an episode of Peep Show in which Jeremy is, for complicated reasons, trying to get Mark's trousers off.
