#FanstRA: It's the final countdown!

-

In less than six hours, this year's Richard Armitage FanstRAvaganza kicks off! Welcome blog readers and Richard Armitage fans, old and new! :)

The Squeee has been participating since the beginning, and is one of the "core blogs" in F3: this year, we've got a team of core bloggers and a few different tag teams, where several blogs are a chain posting about one topic, but only one person does so per day. All my F3 posts will include links to the tag teamers, and the core bloggers can be found in the sidebar on the right, over there somewhere. ----->

For those of you who don't particularly care (gasp!) about Richard Armitage, every weekday will still contain a review, as normal, posted around the normal time - between 8 and 9 in the morning GMT/UK time. All five productions do include Richard Armitage in the cast list though ... :P

For those of you who follow F3, a new post is scheduled for one minute past midnight (GMT still) every day next week, and will be inspired by the review that will be posted later. Or not so much the review, more about the production itself. To kick things off, the review for Monday is the pilot episode of George Gently, and the post you'll see in six hours' time is what I pondered after having seen that particular episode.

(Admittedly, yes, it would make more sense to post the review first and then the pondering, but never mind.)

Remember to stop by the rest of the core team and see what they're up to:

  1. An RA Viewer’s Perspective from 33° 0′ South of the Equator (mulubinba)
  2. bccmee’s Richard Armitage Fan Vids & Graphics (bccmee)
  3. Confessions of a Watcher (judiang)
  4. DistRActed musings of one ReAlity (Fanny)
  5. Jonia's Cut (Jonia)
  6. me + richard armitage (Servetus)
  7. RAFrenzy (RAFrenzy)
  8. Richard Armitage & History & Spooks (CDoart)
  9. Richard Armitage Fan Blog (Nat)
  10. The Squeee (Traxy) - o hai, that's me & you're already here! :)

A week's worth of Richard Armitage is about to be unleashed on the unsuspecting blogosphere. Have fun! :D

    Now I have that Europe song "Final Countdown" in my head, so thanks ;)
    Can't wait for FanstRA! I'm taking my laptop to bed with me, will set my alarm clock for 00:01 GMT and let the RA madness begin!

    The rest of the F3 posts this week are also named after songs, so maybe I can replace it. ;) Hope you'll enjoy the little RA festival!

    Hi Traxy,

    This is my first FanstRA and I'll admit, I'm a little confused, but also excited. Less than 2 hours. Hopefully, I won't be writing in too many times to say, 'Um, I'm lost'. :)

    Hi there! It's the biggest one so far ... Have no idea how on earth to keep up with it myself, but luckily, the posts will still be there even when the week is over, so plenty of time to go through it all, even if it's not this week. :)

I thought there should be a list like this. Maybe there already is, I've just not seen it yet. It's not a massive list by the time of posting this (25 points), but I'm hoping you'll help me come up with more so that one day it will be. :) Last updated: 14 June 2012, the list so far: You know you're a Richard Armitage fan when ...

Richard Armitage will never be himself on TV

One of the interesting comments Richard Armitage was when an interviewer asked him, because he's a great dancer, is if we'd ever see him on something like Strictly Come Dancing . His response was that we'd never get to see Richard Armitage as Richard Armitage on TV. Basically, he's not the kind of celebrity to show up as soon as someone waves an invite to a reality TV show. Richard Armitage as himself. On telly. But not in a reality show. Things that make me love and respect the man: +1! Before I read that interview, I was thinking about him on Strictly , and then started to think of a host of other reality TV shows and whether or not he would be a suitable candidate. This is what I came up with ... Top Gear What it is: This is a car show, or ... a comedy show with cars in, depending on how you look at it. Rupert Penry-Jones and Peter Firth came on it to promote series 7 (?) of Spooks , so why not Richard Armitage? He does drive a car, after all ... Why ...

And you call yourself a Richard Armitage fan?

It's been just about a year since I wrote that post about IF Richard Armitage was gay, what's it got to do with us ? This has since become the most read and the most commented post on this blog, for better or for worse. Hotly debated issue, apparently. The thing that strikes me is how people look upon the subject. A lot of comments were very supportive, saying if he was gay, it might spoil the illusion somewhat, but all in all, if that's who he is, then that's who he is. Others claimed to have evidence of him being a homosexual, but from what I gather, it's really only based on hearsay, rumourmongering and/or "gut feelings". Personally, I'd be interested to hear a gay man's views on this. Why? Because everyone in the debate is female, and the vast majority, if not all, are straight. Ever heard the term "gaydar"? Whose gaydar is more likely to be accurate - a straight female's or a homosexual male's? I know who I'd vote for...
