More things

1. We have another trailer!

Watch on YouTube

(Still generally crossing my everything. I don't trust RTD any more but... it does look shiny still!)


2. In gifmaking, I did make some more s1 gifs of Wish Me Luck and actually did some Liz and Matty ones as well as a bit more Colin:



Plus some Colin and Matty:




3. I did actually write stuff for no_true_pair, so that was good, but only original (rainbowfic). I had ideas for that for the first 3 days, and then hoped to write 1-2 ficlets for the fannish prompts for the last couple, but I just wasn't feeling up to writing this week so much, so it didn't happen. I think the best thing for me to do is to ask for some more 500 Prompts from people again soon maybe. <3 But I did write things! So that was fun. (I don't really think I've found a good fannish strategy for the mini-round; the more random things tend to work better in the larger round.)


4. Other stuff I have forgotten? Please insert topic of interest here. ;-p

Btw, since you like to know what people look like in my origfic, I finally obtained some good reference material for Portcallan-era Viyony (aka Shelley Conn):

Nice! Did whatever it's from influence Viyony as a character, or just her casting?

Not at all. It was Nina's Heavenly Delights (2006) and I only just picked it up two weeks ago (although amusingly, I suppose she is also the eldest sister trying to salvage the family business in it).

Viyony came about from her turn in Death in Paradise. I knew I needed to do some slightly earlier-set Portcallan stories or otherwise I'd never be able to bring in earlier time periods in any of the others, and while it wasn't anything to do with her character in that as such, although a little of the situation, I saw her in that and Viyony sprang up almost instantly. Now I'm just doing retrospective research to prove me right and get some good reference stuff. She did amusingly pop up for a minute or two, or less, in Possession during my Jeremy Northam explorations last summer, so UK TV & films remains fully incestuous as ever, although they were not in the same time period in that! :-)

(I am still going through Terra Nova, but very slowly, as with everything these days, it seems, and that was 10 years later than Nina, same as DiP, and my vague memories of her from Mistresses were not very Viyony-like at all.)
