I have needs.

1. I wrote my [livejournal.com profile] picsfor1000 fic! Go team me! It's Chuck/Bryce I'm Just a Soul Whose Intentions Are Good and I am v pleased by it.

2. Regarding last night's Gossip Girl, I would just like to request my own Dan. Again. Stat. I make this request every week.

3. After much reticence on my part, I have finally seen some of Life on Mars and my entire response has been: So, how the fuck do I get the rest? Seriously. This shit is hysterical. Are the DVDs out or what?

And while I'm trying to shake down my flist for shit, somebody please tell me how the hell I can get my hands on S1 of Skins. I have loved Nicholas Hoult since they tried to kill him with Smarties in About a Boy, and I said he was going to be hot, but nobody believed me, but I WAS FUCKING RIGHT, and now he's on some series that I can't watch and I have NEEDS. I needs some DVDs!

4. For the love of Armani, would someone please make us some Tim Gunn icons that say "Rally!" Rally, dammit, rally! Hell, man, after Tim's motivational speech to Christian, my ass was about to rally too. Dunno to where or to do what, but still. I need a Tim to match my Ari.

Life on Mars is a cracker, isn't it? I'm waiting for season 2 to turn up free on my on-demand cable. I just love the interaction between the two leads.

OMG I can not believe you're into Skins. First, you can watch most of the series on youtube from this person's (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Kr1st1ano) youtube videos and I can upload the fourth (missing) episode so that you can download it if you so desire. If you find a place for the DVDs though, I would totally be all over that. Second, I am currently writing a fic for skins to fulfill a NYR request. Third, what, it's totally hilarious and awesome with all the wacky shenanigans.

ps I am going to read your Chuck fic and the previous one and like fawn all over you like white on rice.

Where are you at in Life On Mars? I could possibly hook you up.

Well, if you're into mindfuckery, Skins is definitely the place to be in :) As for getting the DVDs, I don't think they're available outside the UK, but I could be wrong. I can upload the eps for you, though. It would take a few hours, but it's always worth it :) Especially with this show.

You can find some eps on youtube.

The first episode is the worst, by the way, but don't let that put you off (I started watching from 5 onwards, then worked back, which worked well for me). It's funny, it's got some great characters and nice bonus bits, like video diaries on you tube (Maxxie's video diary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ULLb0DJM0A&feature=related) is funny, Sid's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ULLb0DJM0A&feature=related) tells you everything about him in 2.35 minutes).

http://skinsis.com/ has bonus stuff on it as well.

Life On Mars is awesome!

It doesn't seem to be out on DVD in the US yet, but in the UK both seasons (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Mars-Complete-BBC-Disc/dp/B000LPQDBO/) are available, if your DVD player can handle multiregion.
