...OK, I kept thinking I’d stick it out with a blank LJ page, but so as not to seem too insanely weird to anyone who might stumble in here, while minimising the need for updates, have finally decided to populate it with my posts from around the forums that deserve to be seen. So below are

(1) a list of my 100 or so favourite films and series (other than the Guy of Gisborne RH series ;) );
(2) and (3) links to everything I posted, video-wise and story-wise, on the rhbbc forum;
(4) a (non-exhaustive) list of my favourite RH fanfics;
(5) a collection of Demotivator posters featuring Gizzy & Co., specially created for this page; and
(6) a bit of trivia about the RH filming set, complete with screencaps.

And since I could not decide which post I should stick these links into, here are:
- a link to my spoof Amazon product reviews from Nottingham users that I put up on capslock_hood: http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_hood/78846.html#cutid1
- Guy's Amazon account: http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_hood/80925.html
- Guy's LJ rant: http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_hood/82428.html
- Guy reviews season 7 of Spooks: http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_hood/84944.html#cutid1
- spoof RH-themed movie posters: http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_hood/87203.html

I update (add new links/comments) within the entries below as necessary, so posting dates are not indicative. If, having stumbled upon these here, you make some use of them, I am happy in advance!

THIS IS AN ADMITTEDLY LAME ATTEMPT TO FOLLOW UP ON A FUNNY CAPSLOCK DISCUSSION (SEE GUY'S REVIEW OF SPOOKS FOR THAT). iF YOU ARE NOT AMONG THE IMMEDIATE PARTIES INVOLVED AND HAVE STUMBLED UPON IT, YOU MAY FIND IT EVEN MORE UNFUNNY.
ETA:  FOR COMPLETENESS' SAKE, I AM ADDING THE SHORTER GUY-VASEY DRUNK CALL THAT I POSTED LATER AND THAT IS HOPEFULLY MORE FUN!

We know that Robin Hood filmed in Hungary. Where exactly, and what else is known about the setting? I am something of a location geek, and having been to a few locations for films I like (which eventually led to a transatlantic move ;) ), kept wondering if any parts of the Nottingham set could be pinpointed (and, if possible, visited). Part of the inspiration was again provided by Aceofhadeon, who acquainted me with another interesting historical series – more on that below.  

 

so what, you say? )

Thanks to another tip from Aceofhadeon, I have spent a very enjoyable afternoon playing with Demotivator posters, and am including the results below. The text is blurry in the pix below - click on them to see properly sized versions. Screencaps courtesy of RichardArmitageOnline and RichardArmitageNet.

The following, on LJ and fanfiction.net, are the fanfiction stories I have liked.

Links to everything I compiled and uploaded on the subject, for the patient, curious, and bandwidth-unchallenged among you:

- a long 'movie' of Guy & Marian using most of their s1-2 scenes, with a tweaked happy ending

- a full clip of Guy and Meg scenes

- a simple musical clip, again of Guy and Meg (Kiss from a Rose)

- and a season 3 fake movie about Guy and... every other guy ;) that I just had to call Farewell My Concubine

Be warned, these suckers are big.

Disclaimer: I do not own any part of the show or the characters, I only borrowed it so I could drool over Sir Guy.

The Darkest Hour is my AU Guy and Meg story.
Fate and Fortune is the central part of it that happens between Chapters 11 and 12 (post comments explain the reason).
For related video, see ‘Guy and Meg, the beginning’ and ‘Kiss from a Rose’ under ‘video links’

 Second Thoughts is a shorter s3 AU story that throws in the question of what happens if Guy lets Marian go in 212.

The two short bits are additions to Darkest Hour chapters, though the second one mentions a living Marian as well (reason explained in the post)

Ransom is my take on a Guy/Marian plot set in (mostly) historically accurate 1194-1195.

Am a big time hoarder and keep copies of the films I like ‘just in case’ (which has led to a 350-DVD album and a monstrous 200+ VHS collection from my younger years that I still have not ditched despite two transatlantic moves and the Milan-Rome transfer). After a discussion with an LJ friend (thanx Ace!), I went through said treasures to make a favourites list. So here goes, in my best attempt at chronological order story-wise for history films and an attempt at a thematic listing for the rest (some belong in more than one category, so I picked one arbitrarily).

 

list is here )
