I haven't made a post, save for fic (\o/) but things are a little better than last time I did anyway. For the moment!


1. [community profile] yuletide is open for nominations!

For various reasons, I doubt I will be able to take part this year, but since I don't know - and I might, and would then very much want to - I still have to make my nominations. I'm not sure what I will put in the mix yet, but I'm set on The Winslow Boy, which got sidelined by me last year. I'll have to think hard about the rest, because I have at least six if not ten other possibilities as usual.


2. One of the other fandoms I might nom is Sister Boniface Mysteries, and sadly, I heard a week or so ago that the creator/lead writer (who was also the co-creator of Shakespeare & Hathaway) died: Jude Tindall. She had completed scripts for the Christmas special, and it sounds like some eps for s4 before, but I was sorry to hear it, and she was only 60.


3. There is no third thing. There was almost certainly meant to be a third thing.

I went out (briefly, with my friend, to town), on Weds, am still not recovered (bah), but feeling a bit better today, I think. Anyway, two nice fannish things:

1. B7 is going to be released on blu-ray! S1 coming out soon! (They'll finally include the Making Of documentaries that got left off the DVDs.)



2. I idly looked at Sister Boniface Mysteries on AO3 as I do sometimes, and this time there was a delightful fic. Well. delightful for me, less so for Sam, but it's traditional to suffer for fic:

Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Sister Boniface Mysteries (TV)
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Sister Boniface & Sam Gillespie (Sister Boniface)

Additional Tags: Hurt/Comfort, accidental injury, Bleeding, Bad Things Happen Bingo

Summary:

“There’s been a slight accident,” Sister Boniface says.

“I suspected as much,” Reverend Mother Adrian says. “Since Inspector Gillespie is bleeding all over the floor.”



These things will happen to try the Reverend Mother, especially if Sister Boniface is around. Top notch voices. I'm only surprised this has never happened in an ep. XD

Thank you for writing for me! This letter is bound to be long, so tl;dr: I love all kinds of different things at different times, I love these fandoms and characters, and I'm sure to enjoy whatever you come up with.

Any prompts are intended purely for inspiration, not to restrict your choices. Take what's useful and leave what isn't. I hope you have a lovely Yuletide.


That said, here is the long version...

Fandoms: Craddock and Co, The Lady Vanishes, The Shadow of the Tower, Sister Boniface Mysteries & Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Carefully )

So, I was wishing I was well enough to write fic no one would ever read for Craddock and Co because I'm still thinking about it. Well, actually, I was wishing someone else would at least have drawn art on tumblr or something, but also fic.

Anyway, I resorted to trying to draw the scene where Lucy and Uncle Charles are starting their lives of crime-fighting together myself. Apologies for the bad drawing, but in my defence a) i do not practice the art sufficiently to do it well and b) please admire my choice of suit for Lucy because I feel it is Canon now:

But it's Indian silk! )

And talking of comforting fictional period detectives, I was shocked and delighted to find on my reading list today that someone had written Sam & Sister Boniface fic. Can Sister Boniface possibly have been EATEN BY A BEAR? Sam is DISTRAUGHT. Felix is trying to patiently point out that there are no bears around in the UK any more. (spoiler: Sister Boniface has not been eaten by a bear.) <3

(I'm also sorry because I seem to be over-achieving on the "post the stupid thing anyway" resolution, but I'll be ill again in half a week cos I have to go out and things and I'm still barely able to anyway. although that might just lead to worse burbling.)
