Exchanges! The season begins.

I've signed up for hlh_shortcuts! This was never in doubt, but it's great to have it done. Also, sign-ups went live a little early this year and that makes it even more exciting.

I'm waffling on yuletide_admin, though. Do I have enough eligible fandoms to nominate? Are there enough potential fans out there that I'd match with someone? Dare I throw Raven into the mix and double the Highlander fun? Hmmmm...

Huh. I haven't written for Yuletide in eons. As for Highlander: the Watcher and its sequel, I haven't watched it yet and am a little leery of doing so.

Why's that?

If you scroll back through my DW, I have a review posted. Short version: it's definitely a fan movie. The fan budget is obvious. But it's clearly a fan movie and not a I-want-my-Mary-Sue-to-reign or I-have-a-bone-to-pick movie. It's fun, if not groundbreaking. And it's loads better than The Source.

Eh, more stuff to watch that isn't HL? Also, if I wasn't currently trying to write something that feels like canon, I might be more inclined, but I don't need the distraction right now. :-)

[argentum_ls]

Other stuff to watch is totally valid. You said leery, though, so I thought something about the movie was putting you off.

I've watched about 15 minutes of it, enough to decide, eh, maybe later. :-) Some of the details regarding the production and staging (even allowing for a fanmade film) made me hesitate in watching the rest. I had the same reaction to watching the original series of Star Trek, mind. It has to do with giving me enough staging and/or character development to suspend my disbelief and not pay too much attention to the props and scenery, because if you let me, I will dissect and remember where the knife was on the shelf in scene 1 that you conveniently pretended just magically appeared.

Lol.

Well, if you do watch it, try not to notice the boxed sets of HL DVDs clearly visible in the background of one scene.

Heh, noted, thank you!
