Ye olde website has had a Christmas makeover!

Those of you who were around last Christmas may remember I found some genuine 1973 Christmas recipes.  Well they're back along with lots more 1973 recipes.  Yay!  Other goodies include 1973 Christmas songs and LoM Christmas fic including new Christmas drabbles.

Find it all here.

Enjoy and Merry Christmas to all! :)


PS  Almost forgot.  Next project is adding a whole lot of 1970s crochet patterns.  If anyone's interested PM me and I'll let you know when I've got some uploaded.

Hi again, and a very Merry Christmas! I've just received my first online Merry Christmas (♥ thank you andres00!♥), and by my calculations it's now Christmas Day in a number of places, including Australia and South Korea, so here we go again with the Life on Mars Christmas-tide Unofficial Drabble Challenge.

This week you can either go with the nice and simple Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, or perhaps you'd prefer to tackle one of the common seasonal clichés:

"Christmas is for the kids really."

"It's got too commercialised."

"Christmas is for family."

"It's the loneliest day of the year."


(As before, as long as you feel confident that your drabble meets the prompt, anything goes - it's not compulsory to include the prompt itself.) I know many people will be too busy cooking or being polite to guests or whatever on The Day itself, so do remember there is no time limit on this. There's nothing to stop you posting at any time that suits you - it doesn't have to be Christmas Day itself.

The rules are the same as usual:

>> All drabbles must be 100 words long exactly. That's what a drabble is.

>> All responses must be commented to this post, not put up as separate posts to the comm. (Please make sure your drabble is a comment to the original post, so it will stay visible when LJ does its hide-the-comments thing.)

>> No warnings are required, so be aware that ANYTHING might be lurking below.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to everybody!

Current Mood: okay

Just watched the series finale for approximately the eighth time, and I'm hankering after any fic that deals with the Tyler/Williams plotline. Because that was one thread that came totally out of left-field, raised about a hundred fascinating questions, and then just- sort of died away. Doesn't matter whether the author addresses it through the medium of twisty-turny, sci-fi time-travel, or through a more psychological approach- or, indeed, both. I'm not fussed.  Vermin Disciple put an excellent spin on it in 'Convergence' - http://vermin-disciple.livejournal.com/99926.html- but I would love to see what other writers have done with the idea- even if it just makes my brain hurt.
So- multiple personalities, multiple timelines, multiple interpretations. Let's see 'em.

Mark Juddery, a columnist for the Canberra Times has compiled a list of his Top Ten TV characters of the decade. Guess who comes in at number one? That's right:

1. Gene Hunt (Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes) The corrupt, abrasive DCI is the coolest crime fighter of the decade. Obnoxious, for sure, but he was written with wit and charm, and played with astounding flair by Philip Glenister. Oh, and whatever his methods, he was always a good guy. Harvey Keitel played him reasonably well in the US version, but even he couldn't compete with Glenister for sheer prescence.
