I was up late, but that's pretty typical for me, LOL. Also I second Fefy's question - what were you reading?

I was rereading ouhusker7′s A Different Date (complete, 14 chapters) in preparation for starting to read the WIP A Different Crisis, which is a variation, a sort of AU of the AU. They’re both part of the Different Revelations series, in which Darcy finds out about the videos some other time than when he learns about them in canon. The other two in the series are one-shots addressing Darcy finding out about the videos earlier in the story. (Beware that A Different Messenger has some very disturbing, unhappy-ending commentfic sequels under it, so don’t read the comments on that one unless you are okay with a tragic AU.) 

Both A Different Date and A Different Crisis are AUs exploring what would have happened if Lizzie hadn’t told Darcy about her videos in episode 60, so he didn’t find out until she was at Pemberley. And they’re great, definitely highly recommended!

In Earnest - How Do We Film? A Behind-the-Scenes Look.

Hello all!

We posted this photoset earlier today, and received this question from ouhusker7- "You’ve said you film far in advance, so are you filming the end of the series today?"

So we thought it might be fun to share how we film and where exactly we are as far as filming goes!

As you may have read on our FAQ page, we shoot on no budget and do so in addition to holding down jobs and maintaining unusually busy lives. In order to make In Earnest a reality, we knew we had to shoot it between September and the beginning of December. Once Christmas came around, due to various circumstances in our lives, we knew heavy shooting would become nearly impossible!

So, we filmed the end of the series a long time ago. That is not unusual, as films and television are rarely shot sequentially. In Earnest is no different, shooting episodes entirely out of order! This is to maximize on location use/availability, actor availability, and everyone's time in general.

Filming is done on weekends, with the occasional weekday thrown in. Two or three episodes are produced each day, on average, though due to availability, some weekends we film as little as one. Our record stands at six episodes shot in one day. That was one for the books!

An average episode is shot in about an hour-and-a-half, with some taking only forty-five minutes and others more than two hours, depending on length or how emotionally taxing the content may be. Add in time for blocking, brief rehearsals, lighting set up, set changes, costume changes, hair and makeup alterations, eating, and the actors' frequent use of improv, and you've got quite a full schedule!

Rachel, being the brilliant production manager that she is, scheduled us so well that we were able to meet our goals, and surpass them. We "officially" wrapped filming at the beginning of December.

However, early on in production, as we were still writing, rewriting, working on crossover elements, vastly expanding the show in length, and rewriting some more, we created more than could be filmed in three and a half months. Therefore, we still have a few more videos to shoot, which excites us immensely. After a month-and-a-half hiatus, we begin our second round of production this week and also hope to wrap (again!) in the space of a week.

Thanks for asking,  we enjoy sharing our behind-the-scenes world with you!

ouhusker7 replied to your post: rose-of-september asked:Once you ...

I bet whoever actually lives in “Algy and Lane’s” apartment is lobbying for a script calling for Lane to vacuum, dust, scour, etc.

They say they wouldn't mind....

[sonseulsoleil]

Yes, Algy has seen Gwen as a cousin for years, so it would never occur to him to date her. Similarly, Jack has seen Cecily as a sister for years, so it would never occur to him to date her. That doesn't mean Jack shouldn't be with Gwen, any more than it means Algy shouldn't be with Cecily.

I received several asks saying just about the same thing as this, so:

I interpreted it as an entirely different situation from Jack and Cecily, because Algy and Gwen are legally related, while Jack and Cecily are simply friends. What y’all are saying makes sense, though. It just didn’t occur to me that maybe that was what Algy meant.

[sonseulsoleil]

Algy and Gwen are not blood cousins in this adaptation. Mrs. Bracknell is Algy's aunt, and Gwen is her step-daughter. Mentioned in ep. 8. So no need to worry :).

I know that, but that’s besides the point.

Regardless of whether or not Algy and Gwen are blood related, their relation is given as evidence that they are not together.

Cecily: You’re not engaged to Gwen are you?

Algy: Gwen?! Good heavens, no! Gwen is my cousin.

Perhaps I am misinterpreting that dialogue, but it seems to me Algy is saying, “No, we couldn’t be together! We’re related!”

So you're saying I should root for Jane to return to a relationship with a man who flirts with another woman, insults her behind her back, and eggs on someone who is hurting her closest family member, just because they're both POC? Their mutual non-whiteness will be rather poor comfort for Jane if Frank continues to treat her with neither love nor respect.

why do people who i've never interacted with think they have a right to just come into my inbox and demand i explain myself

[jilbyforever]

I've been thinking the same, that there has to be more to the Box(x) Hill incident than Maddy's jams. Even the harshest conceivable insult to the jams is mild compared to "you're so boring that you can't possibly say *only* three boring things."

I know. I'm waiting see what happens via transmedia and Thursday's episode before I pass final judgement, but I needed to write down my thoughts before then. I hope there's more to it. Because insulting something someone does as a hobby is not nearly as bad as insulting their personality and behavior.

And I'd hate for Emma's downfall to come because she's making a GOOD decision for her business. That she'd be told that, out of loyalty, she should include friends' and relatives' badly made products in gifts that she's giving out on a client's behalf, regardless of how unprofessional it is (or possibly illegal--I'm not sure how giving away homemade jams at a restaurant's opening falls in California's food laws and regulations but it strikes me as something the health department might look into).

So I'm hoping that this all a setup to the actual Box(x) Hill incident. It definitely has me wondering what all is going to go down on Thursday.

(I couldn't figure out a more direct way to answer. I hope that's okay.)

My current head-cannon is that Senator Elton is going to come back to Emma's offices and ask her to plan his wedding, partially to rub it in her face (and Harriet's) that he found someone else, and partially because Emma can really throw together a party. See the Taylor-Weston wedding, and the Christmas party for the Highbury group.
