“Maria’s not an asset to the abbey!”  Cover of Movie Life magazine, April 1965. 
The massive industrial changes that transformed Hollywood in the 1960s had an equally far-reaching impact on the subsidiary industry of fan magazines. The demise of the studio system signalled the end of the close synergistic relationship that had existed for decades between Hollywood and the popular press. Because studios were no longer in control of stars and their publicity, magazine editors didn’t have to toe the studio line or print the curated Cinderella stories that had previously been provided by the studio PR departments. The playing field was suddenly deregulated and the entertainment press could publish pretty much what they liked.
As Anthony Slide (2010) notes in his comprehensive history of the fan magazine industry:
“Editors and writers were on their own in unearthing stories and unchecked as to the content of such stories....Once, fan magazine writers had been required to get advance and then final approval from the studio with which a star was under contract prior to publication. By the 1960s, it was no longer the producer whose permission was needed but the personal press agent. Even if the story was approved, the fan magazine editors realized that the title could easily be changed to suggest a more scurrilous content” (184-85). 
Meanwhile, the star system itself was also undergoing seismic changes. Gone were the hyper-manufactured gods and goddesses of the classical studio era and in their place was a new breed of smaller celebrity, increasingly sourced from television or popular music, that was rooted in cultural values of authenticity and relatability, and shaped by an aesthetics of naturalism. 
The new-style celebrity didn’t exactly offer rich fodder for the fan magazines that had traditionally traded in stories of larger-than-life icons leading extraordinary lives. As one magazine writer of the era complained:
"[T]oday...readers find most actors and actresses suffocatingly dull... part of their dullness comes from the death of the big studio contract system. The studios would tack some excitement onto a personality whether he wanted it or not...Now we have these people who become actors in 30 minutes and ‘stars’ half an hour later, I don’t think we’ve had a real star since Elvis except for Julie Andrews” (cited in Harmetz: 56).
In the absence of extraordinary studio-generated star charisma, fan magazines tried to create their own sense of promotional allure  – and they knew that nothing sold like moral titillation. Their readership was predominantly conservative, described by one magazine editor as the “ubiquitous woman under the hairdryer” and by another as “a rather square set of readers [who] were never very interested in the Beatles but they just loved The Sound of Music” (cited in Harmetz: 56). 
To appeal to this middle-American readership, the magazines crafted hyperbolic soap opera stories with an accent on star tragedies, heartaches, marriages, affairs, and divorces. If the stars themselves were not quite the larger-than-life icons of yore, they could still be seen to lead private lives that were spectacularly different  – morally, socially, emotionally – to those of the average suburban reader.
Many of these melodramatic storylines blurred the boundaries between truth and fabrication. Typically, they would use a salacious headline hinting at scandal, but then explain it away in the story as a misunderstanding or fanciful rumour. 
In the case of the magazine cover above, readers were enticed with a PR photo of Julie Andrews on the set of The Sound of Music captioned with pearl-clutching delight to suggest that she might be – shock! horror! – an unwed mother. Inside the covers, however, was a thoroughly routine star profile where the only “unconventional” thing about Julie was her commitment to motherhood: 
“[M]ost actress-star-mothers leave their children with a governess when they’re working. Not Julie! If there’s a way, Emma goes along” (“I took...”: 42).
This dubious tactic of implied sensationalism may have helped sell magazines but, not surprisingly, it wasn’t very popular with the stars themselves. James Garner (1967) – one of Julie’s favourite co-stars – complained in a newspaper op-ed of the time: “Practically every fan story is salacious, muckraking drivel aimed to suggest scandal in the life of a favourite actor or to suggest that some part of his psyche is twisted and morbid” (7).
As the decade wore on, the fan magazines become more sensationalist with their stories – and more liberal with the truth. It resulted in a number of legal suits, including a pair of high profile cases filed by Julie Andrews. In 1969, she sued MacFadden-Bartell, publishers of Screenland magazine, for a story suggesting she was having an affair with Sidney Poitier, and the Magazine Management Company for another story in Modern Movies which alleged daughter Emma became ill over Julie’s relationship with Blake Edwards ('Julie Andrews sues...’, II-4). Both suits were eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. 
Far from stemming the trend, the legal actions only served to embolden the fan magazines. They provided widespread media exposure and furnished new material for the ongoing soap opera stories about stars and their tribulations. In Julie’s case, her libel suits spurred the gossip columnists to sharpen their pens, including that of her arch-nemesis, Joyce Haber. But that’s a story for another post...

Julie Andrews pens the history of 'Do Re Mi'
And, musical icon Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton wrote a kid's book, "The First Notes: The Story of Do, Re, Mi," which tells the story of the 11th-century monk who invented a system of musical notation that we use today. The authors join us.         
LISTEN 12:56- 24:41
Centuries ago, a young Italian monk named Guido longed to find a way to write and teach music. Eventually, he created the musical scale, using the words Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do...one syllable for each note. Though the other monks thought it was a waste of time, Guido's music couldn't be silenced. His discovery remains the foundation for learning music today, and inspired the famous song “Do-Re-Mi,” which Julie Andrews sang in the beloved movie The Sound of Music.

You knew this was coming 🤭
This is ABSOLUTELY FLY!BOY JAKE!!!! And my first thought about it, bringing his newborn to Grandma Doris’ ranch for the first Christmas 🥰
And you absolutely steal this sweater from him and he never gets it back 🤪
ABSOLUTELY FLYBOY!JAKE
-
“She’s here,” Jake’s voice rings through the foyer as he steps through the heavy wooden doors of Grandma Doris’s entrance. You glance down nervously at your newborn who is nestled in the baby car seat which Jake has a firm grip on, but thankfully, your well swaddled baby remains fast asleep.
The clamour of footsteps is almost thunderous as the Walton / Seresin brood rushes to the door. The coos are almost instantaneous as they catch a glimpse of the newborn, with even the nieces and nephews wide eyed. Grandma Doris, Grace and Emma had seen her at birth, but this was the first time the rest of the pack were casting eyes on her in the flesh.
“She’s so tiny,” one of Jake’s nieces say in awe as she takes a small step forward to peer into the car seat which Jake is still holding steady in a hand.
“She’s like a little bean,” another nephew supplies as the crowd tiptoes forward while Jake sets the car seat on the ground.
“Don’t crowd her too much,” Grace Seresin’s voice rings out in warning.
“Still can’t believe you produced such a cute kid,” Emma jests cheerily as you watch your newborn yawn and shift.
“What can I say, I picked a great wife,” Jake counters with a smirk while sliding his arm around your shoulders as you both watch the crowd take turns to peer into the car seat under Grace’s watchful eye.
“One of the only good things you did,” you see Emma scrunch her noise at her brother before winking at you. You can’t help but grin and you let your head droop down onto the soft material of Jake’s jumper and he presses a kiss to the side of your head, his arm squeezing your arm gently.

Inside Out Psych Ward Au
And now, the moment that everyone has been waiting for, including myself. Or maybe just me...
🎉🎉🎉
The name for this au is called psych ward! By the title, this takes place in a institution that is located in San Francisco, which is a mental hospital for patients to receive more intense care once they are admitted from the hospital. The emotions work here, with joy as the director and nostalgia as the CEO of the ward. Here are all the names of the emotions.
Characters:
(Joy) Joyce Sterling
(Sadness) Sophia Thompson
(Fear) Ferdinand Matthews
(Disgust) Delilah Hughes
(Anger) Andrew Davis
(Anxiety) Annie Hawthorne
(Envy) Evie Carson
(Embarrassment) Eugene Fitzgerald
(Ennui) Emma Beaumont
(Nostalgia) Nancy Walton
...
And now everybody, them!
Everyone works in a different department.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And here are the rest!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
God, the light! And I couldn't fit Riley here! No!
Maybe in the next post because one design bothers me and that is Ennui's. Her coat is the one I was being indecisive on what color I should choose the most. Maybe white or a lighter shade of blue would've fit her better. Who knows, maybe I might keep it or redo the whole design later. What do y'all think?
...
This is my first time doing an au out of anything. This whole movie made me feel emotional and it's very special to me, so I wanted to share this one with you. Have a great afternoon!😊
...
(and no, this is not a April fools joke, okay? Don't worry!👍)

The Holmes Family Tree
Tumblr media
At the top are the parents. Sherlock's father; Sieger, Sherlock's Mother, Violet Rutherford; and Sherlock's Stepmother Eudoria
First lets start with Violet and Sieger's children:
Sherlock, Sherringford, Mycroft, Shirley, and Rutherford
Then there are Eudoria and Sieger's Children:
Enola, Sigrina, and Siegerson.
Let's start with the branch that descends directly from Sherlock.
Tumblr media
I have placed Sherlock's Children as five in Number. Raffles is the son of Majorie Raffles (the sister of A.J Raffles). Henry Holmes and his wife Elizabeth are the creations of the Charlotte Holmes series.
Keep Sherlock Holmes Jr in mind as we'll focus on him later. We'll go down Henry and Elizabeth's line.
Tumblr media
Pascal, Valentina, Agatha, Perpetua and Johnathan Holmes are the children of Elizabeth and Henry
Tumblr media
Crispin and Morland are Pascal and Elizabeth's sons. Crispin marries Celine, and Morland marries May. Keep Morland in mind.
Tumblr media
Crispin and Elizabeth have the following children: Alistair, Agatha, Julian, Leander.
Morland is a complicated old bastard with two sons: Sherlock and Mycroft. Note that i've written Elementary beneath them.
Alistair and Emma have: Milo and Charlotte
Julian and Kim Min-Ji: Margarate Holmes, Carmilla Holmes, and Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock & Co.)
Now let's move to the side along the chart and go back to one of Sherlock's children.
Tumblr media
Sherlock Jr is a problem, I've decided. He is the start of a parallel branch. He had some unknown son. then that son would in time go on to sire the lineage that produced the following
Euris, Mycroft, and Sherlock (BBC's Sherlock). Euris would then later bear a child with a descendent of Moriarty. Resulting in Ron Kamonohashi.
Tumblr media
Mycroft has a smaller branch. Three children:
Andrew Holmes, Violet Holmes, and Isabella Holmes.
Violet Holmes would then have a child later with James Bond, resulting in Clive Reston.
Tumblr media
Shirly Holmes would marry Charles Jones. Resulting in the birth of Fetlock Jones and Laura Jones.
Laura Jones and her husband Lord Hamish Croft establish the lineage that would come to result in Laura Croft.
Fetlock's is Jupiter, and his daughter Charlotte marries Peerless Jones.
Tumblr media
The following children of Peerless and Charlotte are: Barnaby, Darwin, and David.
David Marries Judith Walton and has three children: Fred Jones Sr, Martin "Merlin" Jones, and Ellie. Fred Jones Sr later illegally adopts a son, naming him "Fred Jones Jr".
Barnaby has a son named Harold and a grandson named Jebediah Romano Jones.
Tumblr media
Sherringford Holmes, the older brother of both Mycroft and Sherlock, would have three children. Richard, an unknown country squire, and Sebastian.
Richard would change his surname to Queen in the United States to establish himself as an independent detective. He has two sons, Dan and Ellery Queen.
Ellery has two sons: Ellery Junior and Gullivar.
The Squire has one son: Stuart. Stuart has two kids, Jenny and David.
Sebastian marries a woman named Peg: Through them they have a son named Robert who becomes an ambassador for the United Kingdom.
Robert and his wife Joanna then later have a daughter named Shirley Holmes (many of her name).

Rutherford is Sherlock's twin brother and a vampire (making him a genetic dead end).
Sigerson Holmes (son of Eudoria) marries Jenny Hill, a descendent of Fanny Hill. Their daughter then marries a Weston and have a son named Geoffrey Weston.
I wasn't sure how to fit Enola Holme because, as far as I know,w she doesn't go on to have anyone I can identify as being a possible descendent. (good for her.)
Tumblr media
Lastly, Charlotte Holmes. I also believe that Charlotte was having an affair with Mary Watson, but that is neither here nor there. She marries some fuck-off prince named Rupert of Kravonia and they have a son: Alexander (i accidentally named him Rupert as well in the image).
Sirgrina and John Vanstattart Smith have three Children:
Dennis Nayland Smith, Violet Smith, and John Smith.
Dennis Nayland fathers: George, Harold, and John "Hannibal" Smith.
Violet marries a man named Sneed and has a son named Lancaster "Shockwave" Sneed. A supervillain from Marvel Comics who used to beat the fuck out of Shang-Chi.
Thus concludes the family tree of The Holmes. Please reblog or message me if you have questions or comments.

Novel Syllabus 2024
This coming year I think I'm going to be on here more often than I am on twitter or elsewhere, and as part of that, I'm going to start documenting the process of writing my novel more actively. I want to return to/resurrect the momentum and energy I had while writing the first draft and be more intentional about setting aside time to work, even when it's difficult. Below are my writing goals for the coming year as well as my reading list of texts for inspiration, genre/background research, comps, etc. Would welcome any suggestions of texts (any genre/discipline) pertaining to Antigone, death & resurrection, Welsh and Cornish myth and folklore, ecology & environmental crisis, and the Gothic.
Writing Goals
Reach 50k words in draft 2 overall
Finish a draft of Anna's timeline
Finish a draft of Jo's timeline
Polish & submit an excerpt for the Center for Fiction Prize
