I have not really been updating properly again. In the meantime, I have been doing too much family history, because I never manage to do it in sensible doses that leave me with any brain for other things.


* So, I have also made 70-80 Dracula gifs (I'm, er, just over a third of the way through). Anyway, as promised and not delivered the other week, Dr Seward gives his housekeeper a poker:




And:

(Mrs Hopkins is a purely functional character, but you send actors off to rehearse for a couple of weeks, and this is what happens.)

Talking of which, Joan Hickson's part wasn't that exciting either (although she gets more to do than any other version of Lucy's mother and is actually in it), which no doubt explains this:



(There are many obv. downsides to old telly but also some upsides.)


Anyway, James Maxwell is smokin' in it:




I even giffed Dracula and Jonathan:







My OT3!




Other OT3s are available, even if some are a tad unlikely:



(I wrote this one, though. It was actually surprisingly plausible for this version; I should do it again because that fic wasn't all that great.)






My faves, together, not evil, although alas not free of terrible fake hair, but you can't have everything.



I will share some more another day, you may be sure, because I have a lot and am making more. Wait till I get to the crypt scene and can finally gif the bit where Dr Seward is distressed because Van Helsing hurt the flowers, the bastard.


* I wrote, or more accurately, got around to posting 3 stories at rainbowfic, so I did the thing. They were all Edward/Julia, so nothing has changed, really.


* I still don't know what crossover to write for the hc_bingo challenge this month, though. Any suggestions? I may need them!

Very nice gifs! I especially like the Passing Of The Poker :D

[thisbluespirit]

The Passing of the Poker is an important ceremonial moment in the lifetime of any household. *nods*

:-D

Ooh, Lucy's hand curling proprietorially around Mina's elbow (ninth gif)! Precious...

[thisbluespirit]

Lucy and Mina are always adorable!

[paynesgrey]

Good luck with your hc_bingo crossover. I hope you figure something out. I finally got an inspiration and it's totally out of left field...

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks! Last year someone told me what crossover to write, but this year nobody has, what can I do? ;-)

[paynesgrey]

I feel like mine might be a copy out. You can crossover Doctor Who with just about anything!
Just a thought, I think it's fun to crossover a big fandom with something really obscure...

[thisbluespirit]

You can crossover Doctor Who with just about anything!

Indeed! :-D

Giftastic! JM is indeed smoking! Didn't work on the vampires though;p

Crossover Dracula with a b/w TV/film? Or more detectives?

[thisbluespirit]

I'm so glad someone else appreciates my stupid sense of humour. :-D

The set of prompts really do lend themselves to Dracula, so it's definitely a thought!

But I have no known sense of humour!;p But I have all the senses of silly:D
