So. This weekend I spent mostly in Aarhus, hanging out with the some of the ever lovely ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
dkfen people, watching tv series (including Vikings ep03 :-) ) and Zodiac and more fanvids than you can shake a stick at (our lovely host, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
calvinahobbes, has a pretty comprehensive list in her write-up post about it - it's like one long rec list of good vids. I promise.)
Monday was work and in the evening I met up withblnchflr to go watch Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing - which is a perfectly good and funny movie. The biggest problem with it is that MAAN has been done - and done well - before, so it's up against some pretty steep competition.
Afterwards, I went home and traumatized myself by watching Vikings. I have yet to recover.
So, how was your weekend?
Oh, and let's do this, shall we - seeing as it is going around again.

The other side of the story:

2. Love, Love All Around - and Not A Drop to Drink (PotC, 44 hits)
1. Apocalypse in Red and Black (original, 34 hits, 1 kudos)
Comparing with last year, it's pretty similar - the ladybug apocalypse is still lowest, which is unsurprising, really - mind you, Surfing the River Lethe has escaped the list entirely (not gone far, but still), which probably has to do with The Almighty Johnsons having been "discovered" by a somewhat wider audience (still too small and far too focused on Dean O'Gorman, but what are you supposed to do?)

I am very happy about the amount of kudos my Vikings fic are getting - and in no time at all, really :-)
