If anyone happens to have any Yuletide fic recs in the Gothic Horror or Gothic Romance genre now that the archive is open, we’re open to accepting them at hidden_passages. Specifically, they can go in this post; kudos to damzel for thinking to post it. I saw plenty of the right type in the archive, but haven’t had a chance to dig through them all.

Don’t worry, there won’t be any spoilers for yesterday’s episode of Doctor Who. Well, today’s for me, since I had a severe migraine (and accompanying nausea related extras*) at the time it was streaming yesterday, and onwards through when it would have aired on BBC America.

I kept thinking that David Suchet looked very familiar, and that it wasn’t just due to the role as Hercule Poirot (which I’ve never seen, aside from the occasional promo on either KET or PBS). It turns out he played Van Helsing in Dracula (2006).

While it isn't a particularly good adaptation, it had one of the better castings I've seen for Lucy Westenra in Sophia Myles. I watched it for the first time a couple months ago.

*I would have posted a 'this community is open' for hidden_passages yesterday, if not for the migraine. I'll get on that now. I'm torn between three layouts for it, but I'm currently going with Amaranth in Librarian's Dream (the other two are Touch in Dusty Foot, and Pigeon Blue in Librarian's Dream).

Thank you to everyone who voted! hidden_passages won the poll with 15 votes; I’m working on the little particulars at the moment. Bear with me as I try to eventually change the layout’s style (some were too brightly colored, while others were too dark to see the text) to something more suitable, and add to the interests section. I have transferred an icon I use over there, just so there's something.

I may eventually be in need of a co-mod. Do I have any volunteers?
