1) Deb Salisbury posted photos of Paul Gross that she took in 1997, while in the studio audience of Dini Petty's talk show, to the Due South! Facebook group.

Apparently the photos are private to the FB group, so I screenshot and uploaded them here with a screenshot of the original post/attribution. The quality you see is the original quality as posted - as she explains, flash photos weren't allowed, so the only lighting was studio lighting. That said, they're pretty good for being no flash.

B. Paul Gross-Addict posted a 1994 CBS bumper featuring Fraser and Vecchio wishing viewers Happy Holidays and New Year's on the due South By South East FB group.

The vid clip, which is in SD VHS quality, originally came from a YouTube channel.

Enjoy!

Hi all, there appears to be a comment bot working its way through due South fics in reverse chronological order. It starts off with a lengthy, praise-focused comment that uses words and phrases like "chaotic", "my heart", and "screaming" a lot - from the comments I've seen, it honestly sounds a lot like an attempt to mimic fangirl speak circa 2010 - and if the creator responds tries to get their email address or Discord handle. 

Although there was some initial uncertainty over whether this is a bot, as it is commenting with an AO3 account and appears to draw on specific details in the work, the account it was using as of yesterday (Rosie79) appears to be brand new, comments on a stretch of works one after the other within a short time span, doesn't leave kudos, and consistently refers to everything as a "chapter" even if it's a one-shot. It currently appears as if the bot can only process text.*

While I don't want to encourage anyone to go on a comments section witch hunt and end up reporting legitimate users who just happen to sound a little bit like a praise bot, I do want to remind everyone that you can report suspected bots via the Policy Questions & Abuse Reports link at the bottom of every AO3 page. If an account is otherwise blank, newly-created, and appears to be trying to get you to move to the internet equivalent of a secondary location, it may be worth considering reporting it.

*I did not do any of the digging or conferring that discovered this bot or its characteristics, but I've asked the folks who did to comment on the [community profile] ds_c6d_bigbang version of this post with any information I may have missed.

Regina Keim sent the Facebook Due South Trading Post group a link to this fabulous "Super Mountie" art on the German Etsy site.

I thought people might like to see it. Not sure if it's available outside Europe - haven't checked yet.

ETA: I fixed the Etsy-Germany link!

So I was doing some dS research and though I haven't seen it recently, the question of "how many seasons of due South were there?" often comes up (or its variation, "were there 3 or 4 seasons of due South" - to which the answer is, "Yes" because both are true, depending which country you're talking about).

Explaining requires the Wayback Machine, but here you go for the definitive answer: it was 3 in the US and 4 in Canada (and other countries), as evidenced by this old page from William and Elyse's due South Page.

Specifically, this section here answers that question: 3 in the US, and 4 elsewhere (like the UK and Australia, in addition to Canada).

That is why the dS episode transcripts that were cribbed from the (very) old (and long defunct) Victoria's (Not So) Secret Site has the collection of transcripts bundled into one big file per season (with only three seasons). Scroll all the way to the bottom of the dS transcripts site, and you'll see the three big S1, S2, and S3 transcripts of all episode of the three individual seasons).

Gratitude to the Wayback Machine and Internet Archive for preserving fandom history. 💜

Regina Keim created and posted a new due South word search over in the private Fraser/Kowalski Facebook group. As usual, there's an optional "guess the episode" question at the bottom, too.

You can access it here, if you can't see the group's posts because you're not a member.

Hey all!

A Discord-fan named Mal has come up with a due South/C6D fanwork challenge (though they extend it to every fandom, if someone prefers!). They have a bunch of song titles from a Canadian punk band, and you're invited to create fanworks for it!

It's an open-ended challenge--just let them know you've created something and give them a link to AO3 or wherever you've housed your work, and they'll link it on their page.

SNFU Fanwork Challenge

Have fun fanworking!

ETA 10/5: Mal has an email address we can use, posted below! Let me know if you can't read their comment.

Summary: On Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 11:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time nearly everyone in the world lost consciousness for two minutes and seventeen seconds during which time most saw a vision – a “flash forward” – of their lives six months into the future: April 29, 2010 at 10:00 PM PDT. Some people, however, merely lost consciousness without experiencing a vision…people who were then presumed to be fated to die by April 29, 2010.
