Auadd - Horror, Clowns And Shearsmith

How fitting that the next poll is on closing night of the Wyndham's run of Stage/Fright, it's almost as if I predicted it! (I didn't, but pretend I did so I seem really smart.)

This was such a close call the whole time, I can't believe it. In Poll 4 for the Reece characters, we are saying ta-ta to Jim, Maureen Sowerbutts, Gareth, and Damon. The (very late) winner is Brian! With Drew coming a close second! Both of which move onto the next heat of polls.

The next poll has another few very strong contenders, with Greg, Clive, Reece (from Dead Line), Neville Griffin, DI Barnabus Bull, and Gerry all fighting to come first and second.

This is perfect. 10/10, no notes.

AO3 - a haiku.

14 Works - Sean Stone.

3 Works in Jeremy Goode.

Please write more fanfic.

On the subject of historical fan sites, I was digging through LiveJournal and found a link.

After inputting into the Wayback Machine and preparing myself for disappointment, it stated the site was Still Active...

Here it is. A perfectly preserved cobweb from 19 years ago.

And another, more comprehensive site: (warning - a perfect stylistic example of a 2000s website... you may need aspirin.)

Last song: The Blood is the Love - Queens of the Stone Age. I'm having a renaissance of my recurrent lifelong vampire fixation after Nosferatu (I saw it twice on Imax) and rewatching Stakeout. I blame @varneysfangs and @spcvarney in part for this.

Fave color: Oxygenated blood red. None of that hypoxic stuff.

Last book I read: The Salt Grows Heavy - Cassandra Khaw. I regret not dressing as a historical plague doctor during COVID.

Last movie: The Monkey. Stephen King, you are a joy and a gift.

Last TV show: What We Do In The Shadows.

Relationship status: Happily married, and living with one small black cat.

Last google search: "Jungian Shadow" Yes, from That podcast.

Looking forward to: Last night of Stage/Fright. I'm in a box, but hopefully the view will be good.

But please complete if you wish to.

I'm in my 40s, and I feel like a teenager doing this... Not that I mind. The nostalgia is pleasing.

Thank you @varneysfangs

My favourite celebrity couple. They're just so beautiful together.

I wish them decades of happiness and healthy grandchildren.
