Fests, Sun and Robin Hood

OMG, ownficfest is bagged, at least the setting up and all! Now, it just needs to be written and posted :). Sorting out assignments worked suprisingly well, even though my inner perfectionist wailed at the impossibility of giving everybody their top preference ;).

Note to self: now shut up and write!

I had the morning off, thanks to the Queen, and spent it happily browsing used book stores in town and even treating myself to a coffee and seed bun (which I rarely do when on my own). It was so bloody hot and humid that I came back with a mildly tanned cleavage ;).

Spent last weekend obsessively watching BBC Robin Hood - unlike with Merlin, where they just threw mythology out of the window altogether and ended up with something like 'Hercules' in the process, this feels very much like a spoof of every Robin Hood film version that's ever existed :). Very close to to parody, with some political meta-commentary. It makes the ahistorical element much easier to stomach. Don't get me wrong, it's way from holding a candle to Robin of Sherwood, but it's enjoyable. Also, Robin and the Sheriff in bed together is *canon*! And Gisbourne is so totally hot :).

Now, where's the slash?

Oh, and ignore the silly critter at the bottom :)
