Apparently Spielberg asked Tom Stoppard to write the screenplay for Jaws, but Tom said he couldn’t as he was writing a play for the BBC.

"I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate with me on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?"

"No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."

I'm so sad. One of the best fan fiction writers the world has ever known -- the great Sir Tom Stoppard, who rose to fame thanks to his "Hamlet" fic "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" -- has passed away.

"Your cab is definitely here."
"Wow. Genetic."
And a dozen iterations of "You're such an asshole."

So many great lines that don't at all mean what the words in them literally mean....

Connor Storrie is a cute guy but ISTG he becomes something like 317% sexier the *instant* he turns on that accent.

He makes me feel like Jamie Lee Curtis in "A Fish Called Wanda" when John Cleese starts speaking Russian and suddenly she's writhing on the floor.....

Speaking of things that make me happy: Last chapter of Jaffa's Office Hollanov fic is up and it's a thing of beauty

Check out the updated art for it too.....

Desperately hoping one of the fan artists I adore -- @artofobsession.bsky.social? @lieselsart.bsky.social? @maddiee96art.bsky.social ? -- becomes as obsessed as I am with the Vegas lights reflecting on Ilya's face as he watches Shane and sips vodka bc jfc. I need it. I need it, like, poster-sized.

I "met" Lien for the first time through AWY -- and learned a ridiculous amount about native Texan flowers in her adorable fic, Build Me Up Buttercup.

I will never see a black-eyed susan again without thinking: "Wannabe sunflowers!"

I think literally everyone I know has read this already? Because how can you say "no" to Merman!Alex?! 😆

But gosh, if you haven't -- dive in, the water's amazing.....

Miha -- fellow FP/Hollanov obsessive, RUC's one-woman geek squad, one of my very favorite people -- just /gets/ the overwhelmed-with-love/absolutely-fucking-drained dichotomy of baby's first year.

Parts of her AWY story made me melt. Parts of it triggered my parenting PTSD.

All of it's lovely.

If you need a pick-me-up, may I suggest my fellow Jersey girl @anyroomsrio.rwrb.social's AWY fic, What Kind of Magic is This?

It's sweet and silly and sexy, and there's a line in there that's so funny it still makes me laugh just thinking about it....

One of the best parts of AWY for me was meeting new folks in the fandom, like the lovely @marzelgrimm.bsky.social.

If you haven't yet, please read their wonderful fic Eleven Eleven, in which a dozen Conan Gray songfics become one big heartbreaking story.

Find tissues first; you'll need 'em.

I love when Dr. Alex writes soulmates

I love when Dr. A writes soulmates but also sneakily asks why we love the /idea/ of soulmates, asks if love can be love if you never chose it? If it's not on purpose?

I love when Dr. A writes pure, high-test FirstPrince joy

I love when Dr. A writes. Full stop
