Slings & Arrows news

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 17:39:05 GMT

Posted by: ride_4ever

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!

Posted by: mekare

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.

C6D fics in this year's Yuletide

Fri, 01 Jan 2016 23:58:36 GMT

Posted by: desireearmfeldt

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?

mod recruitment post

Tue, 18 Aug 2015 22:43:42 GMT

Posted by: ride_4ever

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).

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.)

Fest announcement: C6D Ladies Day 2015

Fri, 12 Jun 2015 18:35:47 GMT

Posted by: seascribble

(post edited to clarify some information at the request of a user on Tumblr)

It's that time again! Time to celebrate all of our favourite C6D canon ladies with stories/fic/art/podfics/meta/yarnworks!

(banner by the incomparable Missionlameturtle!)

Things this year will run basically like they did last year. Works will be added to a new 2015 Ladies Day AO3 collection and go-live will be on July 19.

About Ladies Day:

This is an informal, low-pressure fest dedicated to works centred on all the wonderful canon ladies in our various C6D fandoms, from Francesca Vecchio to Jane Taylor to Zoë Johansson to Martha Burns. You can find a general list of eligible fandoms HERE (if you don’t see your fandom on the list and aren’t sure if it’s eligible, comment here or email me. I want this to be as inclusive as possible, so chances are it’ll count).

Fest entries can be in any medium—if you make it, it’s eligible. Entries can be any rating, from General Audiences to Explicit, and can be gen, het, or femme-slash. M/F/M OT3s (eg. Fraser/RayK/Elaine) are allowed, but remember that the focus of this fest is on canon female characters.

To that end, genderbending or genderqueering is not allowed, UNLESS the focus remains on a canon female-identified character. So always-a-girl!RayK/Fraser would not be eligible. Fic exploring gender changes is allowed, as long as the focus of the wok remains on a canon female character (for example, a Fraser/Victoria story in which Fraser is a woman is fine, as long as the focus of the work remains on Victoria. Works about Victoria as a trans woman would also be fine. These are just examples, basically anything that isn't a work centring on one of the canon male characters is welcome!).

HERE is the link to the C6D Ladies Day 2015 collection on the AO3. To post your work, all you have to do is click the Post to Collection button and then fill out the form. If you need an AO3 invite or any help with the posting format, let me know!

Works will remain unrevealed until the go live on July 19. When that happens, I’ll post an announcement here with a link to the collection.

All right! Everybody go forth and make lots of awesome lady-centric fanworks! If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or email me at seascribe at gmail.
