In celebration of actress Alex Kingston, we’re counting down to her birthday with a week full of Alex love and appreciation! Beginning on March 5th and going through the 11th, please join us in creating and sharing original content -- gifs, edits, playlists, art, fics, musings, et cetera -- to celebrate all things Alex.
Please be sure to tag your posts with “akaw2017” (in the first 5 tags) so everyone can find them. All posts in this that tag will be reblogged by @itsalexthatwelove; if a post is missed, please let me know! Also: Follow that tag and this blog!
Other tags to help get your posts seen: “Alex Kingston”, “Kingston edit” (for edits), “Kingston post” (posts that aren’t strictly edits), character names, “drfic” (for River x Doctor fic), & “River Song edit” (for, obviously, River edits).
There are 2 prompts listed for each day so you can pick your favorite. Feel free to think of the prompts as suggestions and substitute a lagniappe prompt (below) or deviate entirely.
Please do not feel obligated to participate in all seven days!
Day 1 (5 March) – What was your introduction to Alex Kingston? // Alex in a period piece
Day 2 (6 March) – When Alex made you feel all the feels // A time when Alex made you laugh
Day 3 (7 March) – Favorite interview // Cast Alex in a film of your own imagining. Create a graphic, generate a synopsis, and/or write a scene.
Day 4 (8 March) – Favorite acting partnership // Favorite Alex quote (either by or about her)
Day 5 (9 March) – Favorite non-River Song role // Favorite recurring Alex theme (an accessory, outfit, type of role, prop, etc., that’s popped up repeatedly)
Day 6 (10 March) – Alex in a decade // What has Alex taught you? / How has she inspired or influenced you?
Day 7 (11 March) – Happy birthday, Alex Kingston! A free day to create as you please!

NO STEALING!!! If you need a gif for your post but do not gif, please use one with permission from its creator and/or give them credit. Same with edits and art. Posts containing stolen materials will not be reblogged by this blog.
Don’t edit the captions on anyone’s post in a way that changes the OP url at the bottom and makes it look like your own post.
When reblogging, please do not remove a caption -- part or whole -- unless the original poster states that you may do so.
