Martin: this better be good

Johnny: you know the black bits in bananas, are they tarantula's eggs?

I’ve also added the pilot episode of Adam Buxton’s Big Mixtape, which features a half hour’s interview with Julian (from 42:13 - 1:12:58). It was recorded in 2010 and they talk about (amongst other things) the film Noel and Julian are writing. (sob)

Julian arrives just one song after Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights plays, which (a year pre-dance) is a bit of a funny coincidence. (sob) 

Here’s what the archived BBC 6 Music site says about the episode: 

Welcome to the first of Adam Buxton's Big Mixtape shows. The multi-talented Julian Barratt helped Adam kick things off with a show dedicated to weird and wonderfully flavoured music in the shape of Øddens.

HEY, BOOSHLRS!! Please, help!

The gif came from the end of this video. 

Pretty please.

We each are into our own things, right? Well...I love to read whump fics and I’m having trouble finding any new whump. Specifically, any whumping of Noel’s characters. Mental or physical whump (or, be still my whumper heart and gimme fics with both!;) ) Does anyone have any recs? 

I’ve pretty much gone through things that were tagged on Ao3 (and did a few keyword searches...) and pretty much all of Blue Boosh and The Boosh Slash Haven. But I may have missed things, so don’t hesitate to rec a fic that is on there. I’ve got no squicks/triggers...though I really prefer my hurt to have comfort, and no character death (permanent character death anyway), I’m not exactly picky.

In this same vein, I’ve been working on a quite whumpy post series 3 Mighty Boosh fic, and could really use a beta reader/person to bounce my writing woes off of. Please be warned, though, that this does contain non-con (or will when I get that far) as part of the plot. 

I’m a bit of a shit beta, my learning disability (dysgraphia for the win!) gets in the way of great copy editing/grammar stuff - my brain works differently enough that I am terrible at seeing wrongness in terms of grammar and my spelling is atrocious at the best of times, I’m never going to catch all the things, but I can read for:

a) content and continuity *within the story* (’cause we all know within the show itself continuity is kinda...fluid) 

b) whatever series continuity you may what to follow as I can probably recite the radio show and the tv show episodes by now (and for the others like Barley or Sweet, I’m more than willing to find sections for a rewatch or rewatch the whole thing, as tough as that is - it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make!)  

c) general story flow

and 

d) pretty much anything *not* spelling and grammar related. including the abuse of parenthetical comments, which only has gotten worse as I’ve grown older and more 

I am also American so I can’t really Brit-Pick things, but I love research (it’s my day job in a nutshell, after all) so I don’t mind helping other writers look for answers to what things should be called.
