Tweet-and-walks and fanfic recs
Aug. 25th, 2013 07:22 pmIn cheerier "actors and the social media" news, the West Wing actors just invented the Walk and Tweet. :)
(Incidentally, the first time I tried to watch The West Wing, the Bush years had just started and I couldn't continue because the gap between reality and fiction was just too big. Then years later I marathoned it at the close of the Bush age, back when not just the US had a lot of hope in change. Which turned out to be the ideal time, because I don't think I could stand to watch The West Wing for the first time right now without feeling sick at that gap again, this time without any hope it will ever change.)
As mentioned, the Being Human rewatch made me check whether anything new by way of fanfiction has been written since the immediate aftermath of the show. Luckily for my working schedule, it turned out there wasn't much that was of interest to me (though there was some, which you'll find below the cut, as I loved reading it). Lots of crossovers with a show called The Almighty Johnsons, in which Mitchell is paired with some of the cast, it seems. I assume this has something to do with the actors - is Aidan Turner in it, or has he acted with some of the actors in it elsewhere? Anyway, I don't know the show, my interest in Mitchell pairings is zero, so, not for me. Then there are crossovers involving Loki (Marvel Cinema Universe version) which do not as if they're about confronting Loki with his victims, so, no. Filtering these out and some that also didn't look promising to me from their summaries and tagging, I finally hit the jackpot with a couple of stories by a single author.
