Have you not heard of them before? They've been here at the Edinburgh Festival for a few years now, and I hear they're... astonishing. Though I can't quite bring myself to see them in the, er, flesh.
Weirdly enough, I saw him on stage a few months ago, reading in the Holocaust memorial day event, which I attended as a civic society dignitary (*snerk*). And all my proper fangirl friends exploded.
I might indeed go and see him this time, but (heretically) I'm more or less immune to the whole LOTR phenomenon. (*retreats to sound of exploding fangirls*)
Ah. We met because you recced a story of mine (http://silverlake.imjustsayin.net/katej-youjustdontpresence.html). I did keep meaning to introduce myself, but never quite did. Sorry. I'm a terrible LJ-stalker.
I arrived at LJ via Buffy fandom, actually, but that's purely because nobody else wants to hear about my Thatcher porn.
Eeek! That's *you*!!?? This comes from only ever looking at the LJ tag with the little person next to it and ignoring the name next to it. You are not only brandnewgun but also Kate!
I was talking about this Thatcher fic only last week! Hah!!!
Yep, I am a woman of several identities. Given the horror with which people respond to that fic, I keep meaning to write a real, genuine porno remix. Would that be a bad thing to do?
It's the subtle hint of a schoolgirl/headmistress scene which I didn't really notice as I was writing it... not so much a remix as a "missing scene", maybe?
Anyway, pornoThatcher! It's got to happen, once I've finished my current pornoBlunkett.
There really IS a kind of oragami for penises -- it's called kokogami and involves making up little 'outfits' for the ivory shafted warrior, dressing it us as, say, a fire engine, space ship, dragon etc. I've got a book on it at the bookstore.

Actually, *de-boggles* because I know one other one. But she's a Smallville fan. I rest my case.
