FK Recently: What You Guys Have Been Up To (02/20/10-03/14/10)

Recently on my LJ Friends List and DW Reading Page:

DVDs and Airings

• On 03/06, pj1228 announced that the Region 2 DVDs are out at last!  First season, anyway.  European fans, I'm so happy for you!  She shared photos of the packaging, and let us know the all-important fact that the missing clips are in there, but are in German only, although the DVDs have English and German audio tracks.  I'll gladly take them in any language!  But this makes me suspect that the uncut masters no longer exist in English, unfortunately.
• On 03/16 and also on 03/01, someone posted behind a lock about Chiller's continuing FK marathons.  Go Chiller!

Cast and Crew

• On 03/12, abby82 let us know that The Border has been canceled.  This is the drama series on which both Catherine Disher and Nigel Bennett had recurring roles, Gary Farmer once guest-starred, and some FK crew alumni were regular contributors, too.  Hopefully, there will be great new shows for everyone next season.


• On 02/23, hearts_blood described purchasing GWD's two audiobooks.

Essays/Meta

• On 03/13, gnosticdiva reviewed "For I Have Sinned."

• We've also had generous mentions from Havocthecat and Amilyn on their own journals, Abby82 on FK-Fanfiction and on FK-Freaks, and I received the mods' kind permission to plug us in Oldschoolfic and Femme-Fic.

Fanfiction and Other Ficathons
