Trivia Tuesday: Propose Like Damian Lewis!
“I always pursued my fantasies. I was never interested in fantasies remaining fantasies. They were always so formed in my imagination that I couldn’t not chase them.”
—Damian Lewis
Now, Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory make a real cool couple. But, do you know how Damian proposed to Helen? It’s a FUN story! Continue reading “Trivia Tuesday: Propose Like Damian Lewis!”
Jointly and Severally
Back in April, we posted a short crossover story together which can be found here http://wp.me/p5uTBg-Ig. We are currently working on extending this into something more. This is another layer of the fan fiction world where people ’co-author’ stories. This month’s blog is focusing on this aspect of fan fiction and is a discussion about it.
We wondered how others who co-author might go about it.
Does one person do one chapter and the other does the next?
LilMisfit:
I’ve read fics in the past that have been co-authored and I feel like they’re written beautifully, and I have been in writing workshops where I’ve written a piece and then handed my work to a partner so they can write the next installment and likely take the story in a new direction. I think if writing a comedic or “fluff” fic, working that way would be particularly fun. But in a more dramatic fic with lots of plot points and twists and such, I think plotting it out ahead of time and knowing exactly what your partner plans to contribute to the story, would work better.
TBkWrm:
I’ve heard of others doing it this way, but I doubt I could work like this as I think if you are doing a story together, it has to be mapped out together across all chapters. Continue reading “Jointly and Severally”
Happy Father’s Day to Damian Lewis!
Well, he may not be the best on-screen father to Dana and Chris, but we know Damian Lewis is a GREAT real-life dad 🙂
How come we know that? No, our favorite guy does not go around saying how great a dad he is… His wife, Helen McCrory though tells Daily Mail: “I realise how lucky I am, having talked to other mothers, that Damian gets involved in his children’s day-to-day lives. In two months of filming Homeland, he’s flown back home four times in his few days off. Although that’s tough on him, it makes such a difference.” Continue reading “Happy Father’s Day to Damian Lewis!”
For Father’s Day: Damianista’s Heavy Baggage…
Damianista’s note: This is probably the most personal post that I ever share on this blog. I just have to get this out of my chest. Thank you, Damian Lewis, for the inspiration.
Father’s Day is just two days away. It’s a day that I have not been able to celebrate for a long time… 35 years to be precise.
Damian Lewis once said: “My mother’s death is the single most important thing that’s happened to me in my life.”
I cannot agree with him more. My father’s death is probably the single most important thing that’s happened to me in my life, too: A death that occurred under the most unexpected circumstances, on a family vacation. Continue reading “For Father’s Day: Damianista’s Heavy Baggage…”
