In Memoriam: A Talented and Fearless Friend
If you’d been an active member of the fandom in the early aughts, you might have heard of Tonya Durdel, may have read her stories, may have even had a chance to chat with her. She was certainly an author that drew me to the Gaslight Hotel site. Tonya was well known and well liked by anyone and everyone who had encountered her and, I am glad to say, I’ve had the privilege of having some wonderful…

Sydney, Dickens, Serendipity, And Me
I didn’t know it was fan fiction. I swear.
I didn’t even know I was going to write it, much less revisit a favorite literary part of my high school years. Just like I didn’t know I was going to chance upon the dusty framed print of Sydney Carton in an antique store in my little Texas hometown, as unlikely a place to find a piece of English literary art as any. Id become used to looking at…

A New Page
Literally speaking, that is. I would like to announce a new page to Gaslights menu bar. It is called “Other Ways of Speaking.”
Apart from being the title of one of TOFOG’s songs, the page is to highlight a new phase for Gaslight in publishing fan fiction from fandoms unrelated to Mr. Crowe’s filmography and the alternate universe of the Point. While Gaslight will always remain focused on those,…

Today In History
Yes, this is a post on history.
Specifically, on Texan history…because without this date and (further dates on March 2 and April 21) the United States would have a vastly different history of its own. Does that sound like the usual Texas bragging y’all have heard about? Sure, it does! But it ain’t bragging if it’s the truth.
Yes, it has been over a year since our last update. Real Life takes…

“HMS Beagle off the Galapagos” by Geoff Hunt
Charles Darwin and Captain Fitzroy share the evening air as a signal gun is fired to recall Beagle’s surveying party…
Geoff Hunt writes about his painting:
“I rather like this little nocturnal scene which I came across on reading the master’s logbook. Beagle was about to leave the Galapagos on 18th October, having already re-embarked Darwin’s party. But first she had to pick up one of the boats, the yawl, which had been detached on the 8th October under the command of the Master, Edward Chaffers, to survey the three small northern islands (so presumably this log was kept for that time by one of the Mates or the Master’s Assistant, Alexander Usborne). After sunset, the ship being hove-to off the northern end of Albemarle Island ’… fired 2 Guns and hoisted a light as a signal to yawl….’ although in fact the rendezvous was not effected until 9 the following morning. That done, and all her business in the Galapagos being concluded, the Beagle ’…. Bore up and made all Sail’, bound for Tahiti.”

This One Goes To Eleven
This One Goes To Eleven
Name that movie. (Hint: it’s a rockumentary.) It’s the shortest summation I can make for my own long absence from Gaslight. Last year was, on a personal level, a power-blown year. I know Tina has her own story to tell, so I will just keep my comments to my own experience: 2017 proved to be an emotional mountain for me and my family, the crest of which was the arrival of Hurricane Harvey (the…

Oh, it has been too long...
Oh, it has been too long…
The Keeper admits it. It’s been way too long since we here at the Gaslight posted anything, and for that, we apologize. The new year has been quite busy, yes, even a few months in, and it appears it’s going to stay that way. But I ran across something while watching YouTube a short time ago, and I realized I couldn’t keep this to myself.…

7 Natalia – Crowe’s Point
Bud walked back to his cabin with a smile on his face. Despite the manure incident, the date had gone very well. Natalia genuinely seemed to enjoy his company. They talked about safe subjects–the weather, food preferences, movies they liked, etc. After about two hours, they parted company with plans for another date in a few days. Deep down, Bud knew trouble never presented itself…

More ‘Master and Commander’ in Video and Images – in honor of its’ Fourteenth Birthday
So let’s continue with a little labor of love your Keeper discovered on YouTube and takes no responsibility for as far as its’ creation. I enjoyed how well edited it is and how it shows some of the best of the friendship between Jack and Stephen. Now that you’re in full Master and Commander mode – if you weren’t already – relax…

…and though we be on the far side of the world, this ship is our home. This ship is England….
On the fourteenth of November 2003, Peter Weir’s Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, adapted from the 20-book series of Aubrey-Maturin novels by Patrick O’Brian, was released in the United States in a co-production by Twentieth-Century Fox, Universal Studios, Samuel Goldwyn Films, and Miramax. Costing roughly $150 million, the film earned $212 million worldwide. Produced and…
