Hey little red!

I’m enjoying your discovery of M*A*S*H. It was my dad’s favorite show when I was a kid and then I picked up/continued watching even after he gave it up. I clearly remember staying up to watch the series finale when it aired.

One of my low stakes regrets, though, is that I had swiped my dad’s M*A*S*H t-shirt (I don’t even know where we got merch like that back then), which I wore all the time, but then somehow either have it away or just lost track of it. I mean, I could easily get a new one (if I wanted one) but it wouldn’t be the same.

Anyway, I’m digging all the enthusiasm!

aww that's such a sweet story and i'm sorry you lost the shirt!! you could get a new one and call it an homage to the original...

my dad liked the movie i think because he insisted i watch it (shh i still haven't) when he gave me the boxed set but i don't think he ever really enjoyed the tv show, which is a wild shame! it leaves me to take on an even larger share of the the Dad Media responsibilities in this family. if i asked him who steely dan is he wouldn't even know.

Show Rec Request please

Anyone have any newer shows they've been loving? I haven't been watching anything but Taskmaster and need something else. Ideally these would be available (in the US) on Hulu, Disney+, Prime, Netflix, HBO Max, or Peacock since that's what I have access to.

Sci Fi - like Fringe, Stargate SG1, Farscape, Doctor Who, Eureka

Comedies - like Schitt's Creek, Ted Lasso, The Good Place, Derry Girls

other genres are fine too

In general, I don't want to be miserable or hate the characters the whole time I'm watching

Anon, we are waiting with bated breath!! Come tell us about the shippable ladies!

Fic reader asks: 1, 3, and 24 :)

thank you, hey, how’s Sophie? ;P

1. When did you start reading fic? (how old you were or how long ago)

I think I was 14. I discovered a pre book Carlisle fic, one where he turns Esme, and I was SHOOK. Because i thought it was actually canon. Lmao

3. Do you read WIP (works in progress)? Why or why not?

I do. You know when DM got cancelled, I was really angry and upset, and i still haven’t watched s3. But I feel like I’ve grown a bit in the past couple of years, and I try to look at things more philosophically now. If it gets finished, then great! If it doesn’t, well, it’d suck, but it’d also not be the end of the world (I hope). And what does get written... it’s probably still good to deserve a chance

I do not feel this way about tv shows though

24. What do you wish more fic authors would stop doing?

not writing because they think they’re not good enough

Thank you so much for doing this!!!

you’re welcome!!

it is actually quite enjoyable :) mostly because I also lose fics all the time and want an easy way to search them…

Do you watch the Good Place and if so have you seen the last ep? Because I just thought of a Leverage crossover where Sophie and Nate are grifting their way through the Bad Place and run into Team Cockroach.

Sadly I have only seen parts of the first season! I keep thinking I’m just gonna sit down and watch the whole dang thing, I have Hulu for god’s sake, and then I.... um.... don’t. But I SHOULD, because Leverage crossovers are the BEST and this sounds FUN AS HELL.

(that.....is a pun, holy shit)

pearls, perfume, and wine

pearls: what's something about your personality that surprises others?

I think people who meet me in the wild assume I’m a total extrovert, instead of being an ambivert. I can be very outgoing (my job requires me to be), but I absolutely need time to recharge on my own and can go days without talking to anyone except my husband.

perfume: if you could make your own signature fragrance, what would it smell like?

I like fresh clean scents. Maybe something that smells like drinking a gin and tonic near the beach in autumn?

wine: what kind of drunk are you (happy/affectionate, angry, sad, fun/wild)? if you don't drink, what kind do you think you WOULD be?

I’m a happy drunk. The one time I went on a cruise, I spent an hour walking around the crow’s next bar complimenting every single person there. My husband let me make a full circuit, but then had to stop me from making a second lap. :D
