House(s) used for Britin exterior and interior?
Hey, everyone! It was great seeing so many familiar names on the Members list. As a lot of you know, I'm brand-new to IJ and the QAF fandom.

I'm thrilled to see this community, because I'm rabidly obsessed with ~~Justin's ass~~behind-the-scenes elements of TV shows and films.

I found the George Shickle estate here: http://www.parkwoodestate.com/html/auto.html?page_id=2&schild_id=32

Does anyone know where the exterior and interior of Britin was shot?

	Very cool! I never knew that. Thank you so much for the link. I wish I knew the answer about Britin for you. Perhaps someone else here does. And thanks so much for posting! I was hoping someone besides me would start posting here and help get this comm going. Welcome! (Reply to this) (Thread)

George's estate IS cool! You are most welcome for the link.

I had a visceral reaction to your icon. It's lovely and full of sorrow. I can hear the whisper of snow falling on an empty palace--no one lives there.

I'm so new myself that I didn't realize your comm was new, also. Anything I can do to keep it going?

I haven't even touched on the innovative camera work that originated with QAF.

Hmm. While I agree it's lovely, I don't see it as sorrowful at all. Who's to say no one lives there? Peaceful, absolutely. Sorrowful? not to me.

As for the comm, yeah, it's pretty new. I started it because there was just nowhere appropriate here on IJ to discuss this kind of stuff.

As far as keeping it going, the best things you can do are read the profile and the earlier posts so you know the scope of the comm, then contribute posts, comment on others' posts, and encourage others to do so too.

I look forward to seeing/reading you around, both here and elsewhere!

"Who's to say no one lives there?"

Anyone and everyone! All Art is subject to individual interpretation. One person experiences peace and another person experiences sorrow. That's The Awesomesauce of Humanity.

I read the profile and the earlier posts and know the scope of the comm. I have contributed a post and commented on another's post.

Beyond that, I have no idea how to encourage others to participate.

Of course it's open to interpretation; you're absolutely right. I certainly didn't mean to imply that your reaction to it was any less valid than mine, but since yours seemed to sadden you, I was simply pointing that one of mine (and there are several) is very different and might make you feel better.

That is one of my favorite icons, because as you said, it is lovely. And I have a thing for both tudor houses and snow. Also, there are several others by the same icon maker -- one with B & J walking toward it in the snow, one with snow that's falling in smaller flakes, etc.

As for the comm, that's great and I couldn't ask for more, thanks! You're doing all the right stuff. So, welcome! Feel free to post again any time something in this realm crosses your mind that you'd like to ask about, make a poll about, point out, or discuss. And if you run into others wondering where to talk about such stuff, steer them over here. It's great to have you.

OK, this is really personal and off-topic. I'm trying to let myself feel and express instead of shutting down and closing off. I don't want to feel better right now. Your icon was comforting to me in my sadness.

Me, too!
