Thanks to everyone for participating in the RayV squee party (DW) - and you're welcome to continue chatting as long as you like! Apologies for not being around more; I'm having houseguests this week and then I'm going out of town, so I have been in do-all-the-things mode the last few days. Anyway, I really appreciate the enthusiasm, discussion, and recs, and while I didn't manage to get around to rewatching anything this weekend, I am going to reclaim my DVDs from my mom and then hopefully watch some episodes this winter. :)

I went ahead and added some more threads to the Squee Party masterpost, so it should be up to date now.

Also, there was a fandomwide Ray Vecchio fest yesterday (which my post incidentally coincided with; I didn't know about it beforehand) and the master post for all the offerings is here.

Thanks again for participating, and don't feel like you need to go home 'til you're ready! It was fun to dip a toe back into a new-old fandom -- my fondness for the show goes back a very long ways, but it's been ages since I thought about it, and I've never really done "fannish" type things for it (reading or writing fic, talking about it with people, and so forth). And as noted above, I'm hoping to rewatch some episodes this winter, so I may be talking about it some more then!

From now through the weekend (or 'til all the guests go home) I'm hosting a RayV squee party, for Ray Vecchio from Due South! Come on in!

( General rules )

( Masterlist of discussion and fic prompt threads )

( Episode rewatch )

Looks like there is DEFINITELY interest, so I'll put up the post on Thursday! \o/ What I'll do, I think, is have a master post with comment threads for pictures, fic prompts, episode discussion, and so forth; people can also start threads for whatever they like.

There was also interest in doing a rewatch. This would be completely optional since it's short notice and people may not have time, "people" possibly including me (I've also just discovered that my mom has my DVDs, so I'll have to watch them online - woops!). But as far as which episodes, these are the ones that come to mind:

- The pilot (especially for purposes of introducing new people who would like to try out the show)
- "Victoria's Secret 1 & 2" and "Letting Go" (3-parter)
- "North"

... which is really MORE than enough episodes for one weekend, oh lord. Actually, if we narrowed it to just 2, I'd say the pilot and "North" are probably the ones to pick.

Thoughts? Any other episodes you'd like to suggest as must-watch Vecchio episodes?

It came up in the comments to a recent (locked) post that there are at least three people on my flist, aside from me, who are RayV or Fraser/RayV fans (in Due South). And I said "We should have a party!" And so we should. :D

All Due South fans are welcome, of course -- there would be no RayK bashing -- in the understanding that it would be RayV focused, because that is the point!

(Explanation for anyone who is now confused: the '90s show Due South switched its secondary lead halfway through. Both versions of the character are named Ray. A lot of people have a very strong preference one way or the other. I've never actually been in the fandom for the show; I just watched it, and didn't even know there was a pretty strong schism in the fandom until a long time later. But I still have a preference. XD)

Okay! Questions! For those of you who might be interested:

- Does it sound okay to do something informal where I put up a main post with subthreads for discussion/squee, commentfic prompts, etc, and then just have a cheerful free-for-all in the comments? I think that'd be my preference; I don't really have the ability to run something right now that's going to involve a lot of planning or modding.

- Would it be too soon to put put up the post around the middle of this week and "party" over the weekend? (I'd really like to jump on this while I'm enthusiastic about the idea, and the following couple of weeks, I will be out of town. On the other hand, if everyone ELSE is going to be gone this week and/or is much too busy, then that won't work, of course. And I know this is a very busy time of year for a lot of people, with school starting and so forth. If not this weekend, it will need to be mid-October.)

- Should episode rewatches be part of it? It looks like it's not streaming on Netflix or Hulu (sigh), but Youtube has a bunch of episodes. Obviously there's no time for anything organized if we do it soon, but we could maybe pick an episode (like "North") to watch and discuss, or we could just have a general episode discussion thread and rewatch an episode or two over the weekend if we feel like it.

- Any other suggestions? Anything else I'm not taking into account?
