Due South Noticeboard

Welcome to ds_noticeboard's Homecoming & Canadian Thanksgiving Fest! I'm so glad you're here! This little party is lasting ALL WEEKEND, so keep an eye on these posts, plus the Ficlet & Icon-set mini-exchange posts, which will be going up throughout the weekend.

For a lot of us, Due South was one of our first fannish loves, at least in terms of having an online community to share that love and creative passion with. Some of us have a great deal of history together, and others are brand new to this little corner of fandom, so if you can, please take a little time to answer the meme below & get acquainted!

Rules:
The only real rule is for everyone to please respect ALL characters, pairings, & moresomes. We want to create a safe space here for ALL CHARACTER LOVE.




Okay! So now it's time for the ( Fandom Introductions Meme! )


YAY!!! More posts, coming up soon! Also! Happy Ada Lovelace Day! Kudos to all women in tech, many of whom have made fandom as we know it possible. <3

YAY the viewing party & fandom-wide chat is starting now!

We're using Skype for this because it's the most stable platform we've found across diverse operating systems. You'll need to download Skype if you don't have it already (it's free). (Feel free to ignore all the webcam and Facebook stuff -- we're just using it for IM.)

My skype username is "thesageness". Hazelwho, my fantastic partner in crime for this party, is "hazelwho". Poke either of us (or anyone else who's already there) to be added to the room.

As far as how to watch media together, basically we're going on the assumption that most of us own a lot of the same C6D films and TV eps, so we can coordinate what to watch, cue them all up together, say GO!, and watch them while in chat. \o/

Thing of boo: I'd wanted to host a double feature of Trigger with Hard Core Logo. Alas, I couldn't get access to a full screener copy of Trigger; its release date is in late November, so we'll just have to set something up for then. In the meantime, we can STILL watch HCL -- and everything else, including an early Gordon Pinsent movie called The Rowdyman, which was based on a novel he wrote.

EDIT: The Rowdyman will be seen Saturday, late morning, Chicago time!! And Trigger has just shown up in the place at which these things are kept (ask one of us privately if you need help there), so maybe we CAN manage a Trigger/HCL screening!

So, come watch stuff in good company, stress over making your (shhh, secret!) mini-exchange snippets & icons, brainstorm Due South Seekrit Santa signups, come and go at will, and spend some or all of tonight and tomorrow -- and however long people stick around -- and hang out with us!

Note: if you can't find us on Skype for whatever reason, plz comment to THIS post, or else find us via other instant messengers, and we'll do our best to get you into the right place. Technology experts, we are not, but we WILL try! *g*

Okay! Here we go!! <3
