RIP, Mary Travers and Henry Gibson—Plus, Fannish Items

Mary Travers—from Peter, Paul, and Mary—has passed away, at the age of 72, after a battle with leukemia. I only know her because of Puff the Magic Dragon—here’s a clip of that. I used to watch that movie when I was little. May she rest in peace.

Henry Gibson (perhaps best known from Laugh-In) also passed away, also after a battle with cancer. He was 73. May he also rest in peace.

There’s another new trailer for Merlin.

Currently trying to think of a plot/idea for a fanfic using the prompts from [personal profile] spook_me. Anyone else have any ideas or requests using any one of those? Just for Doctor Who. If you missed it in all my posts yesterday, here’s a repost of what I was assigned. The creature prompt is Mad Scientist. (The Doctor has the hair for it, at least) The two secret prompts (using the covers of pulp novels) are Death Watch and Donovan’s Brain. I’m going to be digging through the TV Tropes page for Mad Scientist in a few minutes.

Edit: As I mentioned yesterday, with that link to Donovan's Brain, it keeps saying Forbidden when you click on it. However, if you cut off the url after /sf/, and then click on sfmisc, and from there click on bantam_819.jpg, you should see it.
