I haven't made a fanvid in ages; in fact, the last full length one was the Holmes/Elizabeth Reincarnated vid for the film Young Sherlock Holmes that I made back in 2013, but the minute I sat down to watch The Lake House, I felt my vid senses starting to tingle. It's an achingly romantic tale of two… Continue reading Fanvid: The Lake House

This is familiar fanfiction territory, as it's what the genre turns on, but it… Continue reading Romantic ‘What ifs….’

So, here are a few more for your delectation 🙂 Oh, how I loved the boys' own adventure that was Hornblower! This is probably what gave me my first crush on Paul McGann and Ioan… Continue reading Chemistry, part 2!
Chemistry…
So today I'm thinking about chemistry. Not the kind that goes on in test tubes, but the burning, elemental, pheremonal heat that is generated when two (sometimes more!) people get within breathing distance of one another.
