Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: Open Thread!

Welcome to the Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Open Thread!

Miss Fisher stands with arms extended, hands resting on a large rope in front of her (a boxing ring). Text reads Open Thread.


(Thanks to [personal profile] cyborganize for the graphic!)

So many friends are watching Miss Fisher, [personal profile] tellitslant and I thought it might be nice to start a new (public) open thread.

Because --

* twitter is too short.

* tumblr is difficult (for some) to archive/track.

* it'd be fun to have my friends talk with each other about MFMM.

* I want to meet your MFMM fandom friends too.


Couple quick notes:

* don't be shy about using comment subject lines. If past is precedent, MFMM conversations can be sprawling and subject lines will help everyone.

* please tag S3 spoilers in your comment subject line.

* please post anything you find on S3! that one video is great but not enough. :D

* it probably doesn't need to be said? but, no character-bashing or ship-bashing. Be respectful of different fanons.


Post away!

IKR, research?!? Being in a period fandom is like the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I'm nerdy enough to care about historical accuracy but too lazy to actually look things up (except lingerie). What happened to my beautiful robots?? The whole writing experience has been extremely uncomfortable. I should make a links thread - I do have some good resources on euphemisms for sex/genitals. All thanks to counterfog, whose little finger knows more about 1929 than my whole body ever will, dammit.

ALICE B TOKLAS. DJUNA BARNES. Yes, everything about Phryne in Montparnasse circa 1920! I'm totally down with Mac being a few years older, and I think your headcanon is smashing!

I was just reading your twitter conversation about Mac's hair! I love it too - the original version. I love that she doesn't affect that fanciness for others or for society – the suits are certainly enough to ensure that nobody takes her for femme. But her gendering is dandyish and touched with the feminine in a way that you rarely see on today's butches (I assume that's part of your obsession with her sartorial choices). It's coming back into style, maybe?
