#mckinnon hotel

[my-burnt-city]

having an extremely productive afternoon, comparing the headshots of the thirteen punchdrunk performers who were all in the drowned man, sleep no more (shanghai), and the burnt city, for a sort of ultimate 'how it started, how it's going' vibe

my main takeaways are

whoever was wielding the camera in shanghai was best at actually capturing everyone's beauty

we are so extremely blessed to have such experience of such incredible performers

at least three of these people, if not more, are clearly immortal vampires

SNM Shanghai, #1-4, Show Feels Pt. 1

I went to the show without any expectations and I think this is my favourite way to go into things. I hadn't read anything about the Shanghai production, nor had I read anything about the city, but by the end of our 5-day trip, I found myself enamoured with both.

My sister and I bought tickets for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Our first show ended up being utterly bonkers and so we bought Saturday tickets as soon as it was over.

While four shows still proved to be incredibly insufficient to discover the new storylines, new characters, changes to loops, new 1:1s(!), and the beautiful labyrinthian building that is The McKinnon Hotel, we got to see so much, and I felt again the high of setting on a new adventure and having love fill up my heart so that I kept getting a stomachache.

There are lots of big and small moments that have been replaying in my head and these are some of them:

Seeing a serious and out of breath Macbeth run into the ballroom just in time for the banquet, his long hair wet, covering his bloodied face. (Ren Qing Cai Rang is a force. He has an air of gravitas I've not seen in any other Macbeth.)

Going into Macduff's ROLLING apartment and walking through it with my jaw on the floor. (They have their own room with a big bed with the softest-looking, pale pink sheets! A spacious dining room with a huge table on top of which sits A TOWER OF GLASSES some empty some FILLED WITH MILK. At the end of the long hallway, there is another dining room with an avalanche of ashes coming through the wall and this mountain covers half of the chair that sits at the head of the table.) I. cried.

Walking amidst the pine trees with Zhang Xuehao's Banquo. He led us quietly with a flashlight. (I wondered what we were looking for.) I had never seen the ballroom and the trees within them lit this way, and standing behind this person and his coat felt like A Moment. (I found out two days ago that Xuehao checked out of the hotel last week and so it was indeed A Moment.)

Zhang Long's Taxi cradles a teddy bear like it's his baby. He looks at it lovingly and bounces it in his arms as he walks from one corner of his shop to another, as if trying to put it to sleep.

He arranges dried flowers on an open terrarium and, me and other white masks, we are watching him intently, and I thought, Who do I love more? This person who makes minutiae compelling or the people around me who are watching him and finding it compelling? (I think it was the first time I felt such fondness for other white masks.)

Li Haocheng's Macbeth, arms tense, face red, sits atop a sleeping Duncan and presses a silky blue pillow against his face. As Duncan tries to reach for Macbeth's face, Macbeth repeatedly shushes him, like a father wishing his child would go back to sleep.

Li Shixiong's Boy Witch never misses.

Li Shixiong's Taxi never misses.

School Trip

Muggle High School AU for @wolfstarmicrofic 's prompt 23

Prompt: Mistaken for a Couple

Words: 132

“I won’t let any lovebirds be in the same room, not even if they’re same-sex couples!” Professor McGonagall exclaimed as soon as they reached the hotel’s lobby, glancing sideways at Remus and Sirius, whose arms were linked.

“But Professor, we’re not a couple,” the taller one replied light-heartedly, trying to contradict her with as much tact as possible. It was true, though, that they weren’t a couple. Only friends in a very platonic relationship, even if it pained him to admit it.

“I don’t care what young people call themselves at the moment,” she retorted, her patience already thinning dangerously. “Potter and Black, you’ll share a room with Longbottom and Stebbins, while Lupin and Pettigrew will be with Carter and Gudgeon and Evans and McKinnon with MacDonald and Meadows, end of discussion!"

Good Omens Through the Decades

UPDATED!

This is a timeline of all the events that have happened related to Good Omens, from its inception to its publication to its future plans; editions, adaptations, failed adaptations and the like.

I originally wanted to have this post ready for the anniversary in May, that didn't work, it just kept getting larger. Then I wanted to do it for the anniversary of Season 2 in July, that didn't work either, for the same reason. So I am just going to post it now, a random date and hope for the best LOL. And guess what? After a fun and fruitful chat with another fan who prefers to remain anonymous, I added a couple of events a few trivia here and there (thank you!). So, a little bit of warning: it is loooong, lots of things have happened in 34 years. At the beginning I was going to put all the references at the end of the post, but they are a lot, so I put them in a document instead.

*Yes, of course I am aware of the allegations. But this is about the history and the world of Good Omens which is so much bigger than one person, even if that person started the whole thing. It is ours now. It is Terry's and Rob's. It is David and Michael's, Douglas McKinnon's, David Arnold's and the rest of the cast and crew. It is Colleen Doran's, Dirk Maggs's, Terry Gilliam's, Vicki Larnach, Jim Hare and Jay James Moody's. It is Stephen Brigg's and Martin Jarvis's. And so many other people who have brought or will bring its many iterations to life. It is the fans'.

1985-1990 - The Book

1985, Jan - Terry and Neil met for the first time when Neil interviewed Terry for Space Voyager magazine after "The Colour of Magic" was published [1,2] *For years they both wholeheartedly believed it had been at a Chinese Restaurant during February. Some time after Terry passed away Neil found his diary for 1985 where the entry said it had been in January at an Italian Restaurant [3]

1987, summer - Neil wrote the first 5000 words of a story and sent it to a few friends, including Terry; "An exchange in Marlowe’s The Jew of Malta, combined with a late night viewing of The Omen and a love of Richmal Compton’s immortal Just William stories, had put a story into my head, about a demonic baby-swap that goes wrong, in which the Antichrist grows up to be a nice kid, with a dog and a gang" [1,4]

1987, Oct - Sandman began and William the Antichrist went into the back back back burner [1]

1988, spring? summer? - Terry called Neil and offered to either buy the idea or write it together; "About a year later I took it out of the drawer and did see what happened next, even if I couldn’t see how it all ended yet" [5]

1988, summer - They wrote it together (do you really need a reference? 😉)

1988-1989 - First draft took about nine weeks. After Richmal Compton's estate did not reply to the request of using William Brown and his world, William became Adam, Pepper and War became female and the book got a new title (Good Omens by Neil) and subtitle (The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Terry). The second draft took about four months. There were still about five more months of polishing and editing and auctioning and more editing [4,6] *Good Omens was the first Terry book that ever went to auction. It ended up going for £150,000 [7]

1989, Halloween - During the World Fantasy Convention in Seattle, Terry and Neil started plotting what could become the sequel to Good Omens and called it "668 The Neighbor of the Beast" [6,8] *The real-life experience of trying to piece together the plot of a soft porn movie using little free increments from hotels' pay-per-view over time probably made it into the sequel around here [7]

1990, May 10. Book published in the UK - Hardback published in the UK by Victor Gollancz (with whom Terry had already been working) to be followed by paperback by Corgi on May 23, 1991 [8,9] *After the first UK edition was published (Gollancz), several changes were made to the text to make it easier on US readers and to polish it a bit. The new text was used by both the US publishers (Workman) and the UK publishers of the paperback (Corgi). Gollancz was unaware of this alternate text until about 2009. They started using the Workman/Corgi text starting with their next edition in 2014 [9]

1990, Sep. Book published in the US - Hardback published in the US by Workman to be followed by paperback by Berkley on March 1992 [9,10] *UK editions list Terry's name first and US editions list Neil's name first. This was done because Terry was more known in the UK and Neil was more known in the US [7]

1991-2004 - The Movies

1991, Feb - Hollywood Studio Sovereign Pictures hired Terry and Neil to write an adaptation of the book for a movie. The studio had some specific requirements such as Crowley owning a night club, Aziraphale working as a curator for the British Museum, Tadfield with an abandoned pier and a miniature town in it and Satan. They ended up rejecting the script anyway [11] *It was at this point that Terry suggested Buddy Holly's "Every Day" as the theme for Good Omens. In this script some of the angels used for the series got started like Gabriel and Sandalphon and a big sequence had them use their haloes like frisbees inside the British Museum [11,12,13]

1992, Jan. Movie Script - Terry declined to write a second script, but Neil stayed and wrote one. In October the company got taken over and all dreams of a movie died [11,14] *In this script Crowley tries to run away to Alpha Centauri

2001-2002. Terry Gilliam Movie deal - Since about 1999, when he obtained the rights, and throughout the 00's Terry Gilliam tried hard to make a movie. The closest he came to it was in 2001-2002 when he got as far as casting the parts (Johnny Depp as Crowley, Robin Williams as Aziraphale, Mme. Tracey and Hastur, and Kirsten Dunst). But he couldn't get a US studio to invest the last $15M and the movie project collapsed [13,15,16] *Terry had received, back in 1989, a copy of the book asking for a blurb. The letter got lost and he thought the book had been sent as a pitch for a movie [16,17]

2004, Jun 20th - Hill House Publishers created the "Neil Gaiman's Preferred Edition Series" with limited editions of American Gods, Anansi Boys and Neverwhere. As a bonus for the subcribers, Hill House printed the 1992 movie script under the name "A Screenplay." Only 500 numbered and 52 lettered copies were ever made [11,18]

2005-2010 - The Sequel (and the Audiobooks)

2005, Jun - Terry and Neil met at the Audie Awards in New York and plotted a little more of the sequel. This was when the South Downs bit was thought up [19,20]

2005, Dec. Crowley and Aziraphale's New Year's resolutions - The list of resolutions came out sometime between Christmas and New Year's at Harper Collins' website [7] *The well-known idea of Crowley gluing coins to the sidewalk is not in the book at all, it came from this list

2006, Feb 28. New edition - The book was reissued in the US as a hardcover in two different versions. The text is the same but one version has a white cover with Crowley and Neil's name listed first, and a second version has a black cover with Aziraphale and Terry's name listed first [7,21] *This time the explanation for the authors' name order was to make sure the book could be found both under "G" and also under "P"

2006, Jul. Briggs Audiobook - ISIS released in the UK an unabridged audiobook read by Stephen Briggs in CD, MP3CD and cassette (it won the 2008 Audiobook Download of the Year by audible.co.uk) [22,23]

2009, Nov 10. Jarvis Audiobook - HarperAudio released in the US an unabridged audiobook read by Martin Jarvis in CD [24] *Martin Jarvis is the same narrator who recorded the Just William audiobooks, a nice Easter egg related to the origins of the book

2010, Sep 23 - Terry and Neil had dinner at a sushi restaurant in Cardiff and decided that the book should be adapted as a TV series and not a movie anymore (as per Terry Gilliam's advice). And if it goes well, the rest of the story, the unwritten sequel, should be adapted too [8,13,15] *It was around here that the idea of the sushi restaurant cameo with both of them being patrons started

2011-2013 - The Stage (and a failed TV series)

2011, Feb. Terry Jones TV series - Terry and Neil agreed to a deal to adapt the book into a four-part TV series made by Terry Jones and Gavin Scott. At the end they didn't quite like the script though [13,25,26]

2012, Jun - Amy Hoff's The Cult Classic Theatre was granted permission to adapt the book to a stage play [27] *One of the conditions was that no footage would be taken/made available and the script would not be shared/sold

2012, Aug- Narrativia was established as the production company that would handle all of Terry's work adaptations. The production of the TV series and of The Watch were then transferred from Prime Focus [28,29] *Narrativia was first revealed at "The Watch Team Interview" panel during the Discworld 2012 convention on Aug, 26th [28]

2013, Mar. Stage Play - Amy Hoff's play was presented on March 20-23 and 27-30 at the Cottiers Theatre in Glasgow [30]

2013, Apr - BBC drama producer Heather Larmour pitched a radio drama adaptation to the BBC [31]

2013, sometime. The Musical - Vicki Larnarch and Jim Hare, "two hippies from Sydney", had met with Terry and Rob about six months prior. Terry's interest had gotten piqued when they showed him The Chattering Order Nuns song and he asked them to come back with a showstopper and a few more songs. They came back with "All Living Things" and they got the green light to go forward with the adaptation [32]

2013, Dec 11 - In a meeting at The Groucho Club, Terry and Neil enter into talks with the BBC to adapt GO to TV [33]

2014-2015 - The Radio Drama

2014, summer - Dirk Maggs adapted the book into a Radio Drama and gave Terry and Neil a cameo as police officers pursuing Crowley [31,34] *In July, Neil advised Dirk to get Terry's recording asap, before he couldn't do it anymore. They did it in the summer and that day ended up being the last day Neil and Terry saw each other [35]. The rest of the recording happened during autumn [13]

2014, Aug - Terry asked Neil to make the TV adaptation of Good Omens, "I know, Neil, that you are very, very busy, but no one else could ever do it with the passion that we share for the old girl. I wish I could be more involved, and I will help in any way I can" [12] Neil, of course, said yes

2014, Dec. BBC Radio 4 Dramatisation - The six episodes aired between December 22nd and December 27th, 2014 on BBC Radio 4 [36]

2015, Jan 15 - Random House UK released the BBC Radio 4 Dramatisation in CD [37]

2015 - Jay James-Moody joined the team to produce the musical [32]

2016, Aug 1 - First read-through of the series script [38] *The scripts were finalized right before SDCC 2016 which was held July 21st-24th [39]. Both Maggie Service and Tim Downie were present in this read-through [40]

2017, Sep 18 - 2018, Mar 10. Season 1 shooting - Season 1 started shooting at St. James' park (with the 11 years ago scene) and ended in Cape Town, South Africa [13,41,42] *The read-through before shooting occurred on Sept 13, 2017 [43]

2017, Nov 13 - Full development reading of the musical at the York Theatre in Chippendale, Sydney, Australia [32,44]

2019, Feb 8 - The social media campaign to promote Season 1 started with a tour of the Chattering Order of St. Beryl, an acapella choir that traveled to different cities for events and TV shows [45,46]

2019, May 3 and 4 - Workshop production of the musical at IPAC in Wollongong, Australia. About ten days before the series premiere Vicki, Jim and Jay showed Neil and Rob a recording of this show [32,44,48] *Although a full recording of the workshop exists, they are not allowed to share it until it is finished

2019, May 21. Companion Book - A companion book to the TV series with interviews and behind the scenes photographs written by Matt Whyman was published by William Morrow [49]

2019, May 21. The Script Book - Headline Publishing Group released a script book in both hardback and paperback (The US edition by William Morrow followed on Jun 11th). All editions of the script book include an "Other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" deleted scene. An exclusive edition for Waterstones included an additional deleted scene (Aziraphale in the 1800). A hardback edition limited to 1000 copies with white cover included four different deleted scenes (thugs visiting the bookshop, Leonardo DaVinci, the televangelist and Crowley clothes shopping) and a series of sketches made on set by Lorna May Wadsworth. On Jan 15th of 2020, a paperback edition with the white cover was released; it contained all five deleted scenes from the other editions and a sixth one (Aziraphale trying to sell a book); this edition does not include the sketches however. [9,50] *The script book was created so the production could pay for the death of Agnes Nutter, a scene (and a character) originally written by Terry which was too expensive to film [3]

2019, May 23. The Illustrated Edition - The Pratchett Estate and Neil agreed on a revised definitive text. It was published in five versions collectively called the Definitive Edition. Two versions were published by Gollancz which they called the Illustrated Edition; a standard hardback with black cover and a limited edition in a slipcase with white cover signed by Paul Kidby, the illustrator [51,52]

Fun fact: During the tour to promote the book, back in 1989-1990 the song "Shoehorn With Teeth" by They Might Be Giants became the unofficial anthem of the tour since that is what they always ended up singing when things went too crazy [82]

Get A Room

Read on AO3.

For the Jily Gift Exchange 2024 by @jilymicrofics Gift for EllieMarchetti, fic request: "An alternative Universe, rom-com vibe fic where Jily are on a school trip and in order to let Sirius and Marlene sleep together they have to share a room despite the fact they can't stand each other."

Let the record show that Lily Evans was no cock-blocker. But Marlene McKinnon really owed her a big one for this, Lily thought glumly as she glowered at her paperback, pointedly ignoring the man at the opposite side of the small hotel room. How was she supposed to enjoy Carrie Soto absolutely owning it in Wimbledon, when this one pillock kept pacing at the other end of the room like a tireless toddler who’d plundered the sweets drawer? Just watching him was exhausting.   

Not that she was watching him! Nuh-uh! She didn’t want to abuse her poor eyes and brain by taking in his sorry appearance. That thick dark hair he kept mussing up or the glasses that never seemed to sit quite straight on his nose. The way he grinned, much too often and just a little crooked. The graceful way he moved in that baffled her. The forearms that always seemed to be on display because he kept rolling up his sleeves. The jawline that was hard not to stare at.  

Ugh. He was an infuriating man. No wonder Lily had so very little tolerance for him. She’d been meticulously avoiding him, ever since the welcoming party for freshers at the start of the school year. She’d overheard him bragging about his rich parents and football team captaincy and his grandfather being an alumnus of their university. Lily had decided then and there that she wanted nothing to do with rich legacy prick like him.  

Only that wasn’t so easy now that her best friend had decided to date his best friend. And of course, this development had sprung to life shortly before the three-day trip to London.   

She’d really been looking forward to the trip, too. As well as getting to share a hotel room with Marlene. In her mind, it would have been a great time reminiscent of the sleepovers of old. But of course, Marlene had chosen a boy over a grand girls’ pyjama party.   

Lily frowned down at her book and wondered if Marlene was planning to stay in Sirius’ room all night. Lily’s plan had been to read her book and ignore James Potter. But she couldn’t concentrate on Carrie Soto’s comeback. And James Potter was, annoyingly enough, the kind of bloke you couldn’t easily ignore. She was all too aware of his maddening presence in the room. The tension brimming in the gulf of silence between them hardly helped.   

Lily sighed. If she was stuck here with Potter, potentially for hours, she’d crack under the pressure of the awkward silence. She snapped her paperback shut and looked up, meeting his stare with resentful resignation.  

*

James wanted to kill Sirius. Or maybe give him a good long kiss. He was undecided, because his emotions were currently swinging a wild, unhinged pendulum between elation and misery.  

The cause of elation was the fact that he was finally, at long last, alone with Lily Evans. It was the kind of an opportunity he hadn’t dared to even wish for. She’d caught his eye way back in the welcoming party at the start of the school year, but he had never managed to gather up his courage to go chat her up.  

Because, and this was one reason why at the other end of the spectrum misery swirled at the ready: James was pretty sure that Lily Evans hated his guts. Even now, when she wasn’t busy completely ignoring him, the glances she sent his way were sharp and frowny. He wasn’t quite sure what he had done to earn her ire, as they’d never exchanged more than twenty words in the course of their light acquaintance.    

Which was something James was very much hoping to correct now. But how could he find the right words?   

He stopped pacing the small room and stared helplessly at the gorgeous redhead, just as she heaved a heavy sigh. James jumped a little at the thump as Evans suddenly closed her book. She looked up, finally meeting his gaze. James’ heart skipped a beat, even as the look in those green eyes turned his stomach.  

Shame flooded him, drowning out any joy he might have harboured before.  

“I’m sorry,” he said, breaking the heavy silence between them. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. “I can leave, if you’re feeling uncomfortable about sharing a room with me.”  

He could always go out for a walk. Have a sit at a Costa or something. Or stay down at the lobby bar of the hotel.   

Evans’ shoulders slumped and she gave an irritated shake of her head. “No. I don’t want to put you out. There’s no telling how long Sirius and Marlene are going to be at it.”  

James grimaced. “I’m trying very hard not to think about that.”  

“Me too,” Evans said, rolling her eyes. “I’m just glad your room isn’t next to ours because it would get super awkward if we had to listen in on them, too.”  

“Oh, god,” James managed, snorting a surprised laugh. “That would be the worst.”  

Their eyes met and they shared a long, wry stare – one brief moment where they finally were in perfect agreement. James risked flashing a hesitant smile her way. The captivating green eyes softened a fraction.   

James cleared his throat and desperate to make conversation, voiced the very first words that popped up in his head. “What are you reading?”  

Lily’s eyebrows rose in surprise, and she glanced down at her book. “ Carrie Soto is Back , by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It’s about a tennis player making her comeback.”  

James blinked. “You’re reading a book about... tennis?”  

And then, the miraculous thing happened. Lily Evans let out a brief laugh; a bubbling sound that James felt all the way in his heart. “I know, right? I’m just as surprised as you are. But it’s really good. And it’s not just about tennis. It’s about family, and grief, and ambition... It’s about fear of failure. It’s about finding joy again.”  

James was entranced by the softness of her tone, the smile playing on her lips. He was staring, helpless and half-way smitten, even as that smile turned rueful.  

“Sorry. If you get me started on the topic of books, I could probably go on forever.”  

“I don’t mind,” James hastily reassured her. “I always like listening to people talking about their interests. And books are great. I really need to start reading something other than textbooks, but the lessons have been keeping me so busy.”  

“The schedule’s really been insane, hasn’t it? I mean I didn’t think uni would be a breeze, but one of these days my brain is going to call it quits on me, I swear.”  

James laughed in delight. Beautiful, smart and funny. Lily Evans was absolute perfection. “I doubt that. You work too hard and are far too brilliant for that to happen.”  

Lily hummed, her gaze turning assessing. “Thank you. Though I’m a bit surprised you have such a high opinion of me, especially when this is already the longest conversation we’ve ever had.”  

James shrugged, helpless to stop the blush heating up his cheeks. “I pay attention.”  

Lily’s lips quirked and curled. “I see,” she said softly.  

There was a spark in her eyes that James hadn’t seen before. And he was afraid that she actually could see right through him. He moved over to the window, turning to look out so he could avoid her knowing gaze as his face flushed redder.  

“So, what are your interests, then?” Lily asked, her tone casual.  

Relief rolled down James' back, the tension in his body melting away. He was grateful for this olive branch, this opportunity to ignore the feelings he was not ready to admit out loud. He let out a breath and turned away from the window.  

James faced Lily, with a smile on his lips, elation in his heart, butterflies in the pit of his stomach, and an answer ready on his tongue.

Saturday Snippet

My mind is all over the place at the moment, but I started the Professional Sports AU yesterday, courtesy of my Wolfstar Bingo card:

“And that’s the final out of the game to cap off this season of upheaval for the Marauders. With Remus Lupin out due to injury, they will need some new blood in the off season. Manager Marlene Mckinnon will be looking to prove herself and possibly add some big names to the roster. That’s all for now, I’m Lee Jordan and you’re watching SportsCenter on ESPN.”

Remus started awake. He looked around at the nondescript hotel room he was staying in as he tried to breathe deeply and slowly as the adrenaline ebbed from his system. He shook his right arm out. After the injury last season, and the subsequent physical therapy, his pitching arm felt more fit than ever. He’d done well when it was just pitchers and catchers, but the rest of the team was reporting for spring training today and he was more nervous than he’d been in a long time.

If one thing made sense in his life, it was always baseball. Baseball was predictable, with set rules and outcomes. Of course, with more training or with different team members, weather, or hell, even luck, the outcome could change but the rules never changed. His life would change, but the rules of baseball never did.

Tw: mentions of suicide & murder

Actor Regulus Black, 26, was found dead in his hotel this morning. Black was in LA over the weekend for his new movie, ‘Waves’ cast screening. He was staying in the Hilton, with the rest of his cast members, who include Evan Rosier, Frank Longbottom and Marlene Mckinnon.

The famous actor was found dead in his bathtub early Monday morning by housekeeping, and the police were called to the scene. Although the police suspect that it was a suicide, police have not ruled out the possibility of foul play.

Dorcas pressed the button for the lift, watching as the numbers went down and down until it beeped and the metallic doors opened up for them.

They stepped inside, before noticing Marlene, a rival athlete, leaning in one of the corners. The doors shut before Dorcas could step back out.

"Hiya Meadowes."

"Mckinnon", Dorcas gritted their teeth, turning away from her.

The lights buzzed, and the lift came to a sidden halt. Dorcas was quick to press the emergency button.

As they waited in the tiny metal box, Marlene began to hum.

Dorcas huffed, “Of all the people I could’ve gotten stuck in a lift with and it just had to be you.”

Marlene laughed, "It's fate."

"More like bad luck", Dorcas murmured, glancing back at the emergency button and tapping their foot.

Marlene stood up properly and took a step closer, "I know how much you hate idly waiting, so maybe we can do something to make the time pass quicker."

"Like what?"

"... Remember our last competition? You got gold, I got silver and you celebrated your win by taking me back to your hotel room?"

"We're in a public lift, Mckinnon."

Marlene took another step forwards, a grin settling on her face, "We can just snog till we get rescued then."
