Matthew, Mary and wheelbarrows

ambotherambo: “Not that, in the event, Matthew and Mary needed the dead to give them the all-clear. Working up to Downton’s festive romantic denouement, they were already off their chanks on the heady self-delusion of lovers. “I don’t think she’d want us to be sad!” Matthew insisted, blithely, before feverishly getting off with Lady Mary in the snow. Had Downton any more running time, I’m sure we...

Mary & Matthew – The Proposal, A Line By Line...

thequietworld: (Well, nearly line by line) In the aftermath of the Christmas Special, I find myself thinking a lot about the way Fellowes chose to write certain scenes. The more I ponder on them, the more I find the intricacies of his word choice and the structure of how he laid out Matthew and Mary’s story to be wonderfully nuanced and detailed with character truths. So many revelations came...

YAY! I just completed my 100th book of the year!

Last January, I made a New Years’ Resolution to read 100 books this year, and I actually did it! (And I didn’t count any of the long fics I read, either, so it’s even more legit!) 100 books and over 40,000 pages later … my eyes are tired, but I’m quite proud of myself! And I made it with three days to spare!

UGH. BAD NEWS. YOUTUBE IS PULLING S2 VIDS.

It looks like PBS/NBC is starting to look for S2 Downton stuff and starting to copyright it all. I just had some of my Matthew/Mary S2 edits yanked. (Just like all of my S1 scenes were pulled the second I uploaded them.) ITV apparently doesn’t care if we post scenes, but NBC/PBS does. Since S2 starts airing here in the US soon, I fully expect all of my Matthew/Mary edits to get blocked once...
