**CAUTION! ONE SPOILER FOR STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI AT THE END OF THIS POST** OK, I admit it. And I'm sure this will come as a total surprise (not). I have always been a bit of a fangirl. Back from the time I first encountered the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon as an eight year old, to journeys… Continue reading Le Geek, c’est chic (and so the Force Awakens)

Fanvid: The Lake House
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
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier…vids.
It's no secret that I've loved fanvids, both watching and making them, for a long time, so it's inevitable that when a film or TV show catches my eye, I end up googling fanvids for it.

So, I… Continue reading Quick and dirty blog post: Sherlock Holmes, A Game of Shadows

I was reminded of Stigmata this week, when my subconscious gave me a rather nice dream about the wonderfully charismatic Gabriel Byrne. I've always loved watching him onscreen, and for a long time, Stigmata was on my radar. The tale of a scientific priest, a lost gospel and a party girl who starts to exhibit the signs… Continue reading Throwback Texts: Stigmata (1999)
Throwback Texts: Sex, Lies and Videotape (and my vidding response to it).
A song came on in the car today that really got me into the mood for writing about the protagonists in my second novel, Sweeter than Cider, Jonathan and Caroline. It was Bryan Ferry's 'Slave to Love'. This is a song I've long loved, and a few years ago I made a fanvid for the film Sex, Lies… Continue reading Throwback Texts: Sex, Lies and Videotape (and my vidding response to it).
