Fic rec Ned Kelly

Oh, eyebrowofdoom has written the most swoonsome Ned Kelly slashfic in the most gorgeous quaint 19th-C. bush talk idiom. It's fps.

It's here. Warning: it's a tad spoilerish if you don't know the Ned-Kelly story and haven't read any of the books or seen the movie (which I haven't).

Heh, maybe we could slash Mick Jagger next? Bwuahahha. What a Ned he made...

Duck video!

Omg, I'm dead.

Tay Mueller has posted this link to the Manly Men list:

It's videos of Richard Taylor at some sort of special effects workshop for schoolchildren. He's teaching. He's talking. He's got a rl job!

*palpitates*

badgermonkey, you could maybe hire him to do a workshop at Badgerfield High!!!! And hire me to do the, er, catering!

From Duck video

Haven't transcribed but this is what he approx. says:

He went to a Maris Brothers boarding school and was always very tall and skinny. He used to do acting at school and he was always cast in the female parts. One year he acted Nurse McGuiver, the next year a saloon girl. But he found that he was always more interested in all the "cool stuff" around him.

Omg, I am so dead.

Boarding schools! Saloon girls! Richard in a starched white uniform!

*crawls back to other web window to see if any more of this heavenly stuff has downloaded*

EDIT: Just saw some more. He used to sculpt margarine sculptures at restaurants when he was a student in Wellington.

*whimpers helplessly*

Housemouse?

Help, what happened to housemouse? Her LJ has self-destructed.

Ned Kelly/Joe Byrne GIP

All the Aussies are getting very excited about Ned Kelly. And writing lovely fic to boot.

But remember: Heath'n'Orli aren't the only Ned'n'Joe! Remember Mick'n'Mark!

Jagger, that is. And Mark McManus as in Taggart and Skippy. Woohey.

I am, of course, sure that anyone writing Kelly fps has been secretly imagining precisely this 1970s pairing. I certainly will, from now on. Perversely. Hah!

Of course, we have an even wider choice .....

And hm, I have yet to dig up pickies of the *real* ones... Which would then, I guess, not be fps any longer, but rps.

Hm.

EDIT: I hope you can see the correct icon here. It should be Mick'n'Mark.
