Nothing happens to me...
Hmm, it's been a month since a non-fic post, but see above. I wouldn't say no to meeting a pretty sociopath and being temporarily kidnapped by his lovely older brother right about now, I think.
List of books I have finished reading in the last month:
Yeah, too much fandom. Although I did manage to read my copy of Nick Dear's Frankenstein, if that counts. Hnnnargggh! Okay, I'm paraphrasing.
Parade's End (BC) pics continue to be wonderful. Period costume is my favourite look ever. I don't even care what the show is about.
Also currently much taken with Mark Gatiss in drag. I don't even understand it; men in drag do nothing for me as a general rule, but I just find him absolutely gorgeous. Even as Iris. This worries me.

teflon_woman - in costume for All About My Mother. This look reminds me of a young Iris, actually.
I love Val's braid.
Mrs Beasley, desperately seeking a prescription. Like Sherlock, dark hair really brings out the blue eyes.
Random fandom collisions - RSL fans may understand why this League of Gentlemen skit always makes me lol uncontrollably. Pauline! (Restart officer, my Restart officer? That's Mark Gatiss on the table, btw.)
I've also inevitably just started on the original radio version - On the Town With the League of Gentlemen - which has the same spirit of the TV show and is different from Cabin Pressure (the only point of comparison I have) in almost every conceivable way. It's interesting to see how many of the TV skits work perfectly on radio almost verbatim.
Lastly on the League of Gentlemen, No Place Like Home got recced at Sherlock Odd Fic, which made me very happy considering it's the only fic rec site I frequent. It certainly fits the criteria, I guess *g*. It's been nice if surprising that at least some people are willing to read crossovers with unfamiliar fandoms as long as they have Sherlock and John in them - I admit, I probably wouldn't.
I also recently watched a series of Psychoville (Pemberton and Shearsmith, half of the League) which I enjoyed very much, twisted humour, serial killers and musical theatre being pretty much right up my alley. I'm betting those particular Gentlemen probably know Sweeney Todd off by heart. Cameo by MG in one episode as a 'detective' who declares he'd always wanted to do 'proper Sherlock Holmes stuff' was predictably amusing.
Penultimate PSA forkaraokegal's Come As You're Not fanfic party, now entering its sixth year. Write something in a pairing, fandom, style or form you normally wouldn't associate with! No RSVP required, just show up. I haven't participated for a while, but it's been very worthwhile when I have. Hah, I should probably write proper Sherlock/John. And mean it.
Finally, I might have squeed when I saw this scene (from a behind the scenes doc on The League of Gentlemen where they're going through reviews for the show). And I love that someone was inspired enough to gif. I don't care if it's a fandom cliché; I ship it. Hmm, I think I might have unintentionally stolen that shirt for fic purposes, too.
