Copied from a post by clarasteam who got it from the ATX Television Festival newsletter (and who notes that screening is at 6 pm CT, and it looks as if the pilot episode will only be available to watch live but the panel discussion will be available afterwards):

Join us on Sunday, October 18th as we revisit one of Canada's most-beloved (and cancelled-too-soon) exports.

We'll start by screening the pilot episode with Writer/Creator/Actor Susan Coyne, Writer/Creator/Producer Bob Martin, and Writer/Creator/Actor Mark McKinney LIVE in the YouTube chat. Normally we don't promote talking during TV, but we'll obviously make an exception!

Following the screening, Susan, Bob, and Mark will be joined by Actors Paul Gross, Martha Burns and Luke Kirby, for a conversation moderated by Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker. Miss it and we might have to haunt you.

Make sure to tune in on our ATX TV YouTube channel!

(C6D news, not C6D fanworks, so I'm not sure if it's okay to post here.)

Hey everyone, here's a picspam with a lot of Geoffrey squee and some thoughts on season 2. And then I didn't stop and made some sketches too (all rated G).

I only discovered Slings & Arrows last year when it was put on Encore+ and

mific helpfully made an announcement. But I am sooo glad I did.

The due South/Canadian Six Degrees Big Bang fanworks are revealed - check out the collection HERE!!

Thanks so much to everyone who participated and helped out this year - you guys are all amazing.

Hello! There are still two fabulous works available to claim as a complement for this year's big bang! Previous sign up as a complementary creator is not required (though we'd love for you to fill out the info).

And if you've already claimed one work, but have the time and really want a second, this is your chance!

Greetings C6D-lovers! Yuletide has come and gone and there are a bazillion new small-fandom fics to read. I didn't seem many C6D fandoms represented, but I did find a few (I don't claim this list is comprehensive):

Continuum (marginally C6D, by virtue of having as a recurring minor character Tahmoh Penikett, who played Helo on BSG, which also featured Callum Keith Rennie; it is at least Canadian): 2 fics in main Yuletide collection (one written by me)
due South (as a crossover with Spy: 1 fic in main Yuletide collection
Harper's Island: 1 fic in main Yuletide collection
Slings & Arrows: 1 fic in main Yuletide collection
Strange Empire (also marginally C6D, by virtue of also having Tahmoh Penikett as a recurring minor character, plus cameo by Tantoo Cardinal, and at least one other actor who is at most 2 steps from PG/CKR): 4 fics in main Yuletide collection

Did not find anything un Yuletide Madness.

Anyone see anything I missed?

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! If you're looking for something new to read/look at on this fine day, might I suggest perusing this year's Big Bang? We have 8 new works this year to choose from - enjoy!

Happy autumn all! Wondering where your next project is coming from? Check out the prompts at the due South/Canadian 6 Degrees Prompt Meme!

We currently have 24 fanworks and 105 prompts in a variety of fandoms.

Slight rules update (really, the rules I wanted all along except that there wasn't a way to make it automatic in AO3): no anonymous prompts. As a fresh start, I've cleared out the anonymous prompts that were in there.

Come and play!

This will be a transitional year for the due South Seekrit Santa. Longtime mod

mergatrude will not be modding (TYK, merg, for all you've done for this fandom for so many years) and I will only be available sporadically because I'm going to Canada late November through early December and can't be sure of my online time while travelling.

For there to be a dSSS in 2015 we need some new additions to the dSSS mod team. If you want to be one of those new additions, comment here or email me(naive_savant at Hotmail dot com).

You can find 4 short Slings & Arrows podfics mostly about Anna, a gen fic about Inspector Thatcher, a poem about Stella and Victoria, and a Stella Kowalski/Ray Vecchio fic HERE for your reading and listening enjoyment.

Thank you so much to everybody who participated by creating something, sharing the fest announcements, or enjoying the works! See you all next year. :)

Still a few days left to finish up those female-centric dS/C6D fanworks! Details at seascribe's original post.

Happy Summer, all! For anyone not working on Big Bang (or looking for a way to procrastinate on Big Bang?), I remind you that C6D Ladies' Day go-live date is July 19 -- a week from Saturday. Bring out yer female-centric dS/C6D fic! Details at seascribe's original post.

There's discussion going on over at

ds_snippets/

dsc6dsnippets about what we can do to keep DS/C6D alive and well on LJ/DW -- add your 2 cents, and thanks to

malnpudl for getting the conversation started. Meanwhile, it's given me the kick in the butt I needed to finally make this post I'd been planning...

We haven't seen any action over at the C6D Prompt Meme for a while, but there are 140 tempting prompts in a spread of dS/C6D fandoms, just waiting for you to fill them... Come on in, the water's fine!

(And don't forget the Left Hand of Franklin collection, for all those fanworks relating to last year's finding of one of one of the ships of the Franklin Expedition.)
