Mari’s comments from the Segue Magic group.

I made my video all about the Christmas episodes from so old favorite TV shows. :)

Got it! Thank you for participating and I'm so glad you have a Lifetime movie on there... <3

Hey friends!

After discussing what has worked for this link-up and what could improve, we've decided to make some changes to Segue Magic.

I've made a video with all of the details here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/...

HIGHLIGHTS:

- We're going to have monthly themes that Kirsti and I will be discussing on the Snark Squad channel.

- Each month will also have a related topic, which will be the official link-up portion of Segue Magic. You can answer that topic any time you want during the month. Share the link below.

- Kirsti and I will also answer the topic question (if we can) on our personal channels.

- If there is every anything Kirsti and I are talking about during the month that you want to jump in on, PLEASE DO SO! Any videos you make under the theme can be shared below, even though there is just the one official topic.

DECEMBER THEME: Christmas! (or holidays in general)
DECEMBER TOPIC: Favorite Christmas movies

Let me know if you have any questions! Can't wait to hear about your faves.

Absolutely! Bloggers and vloggers welcome. :)

Hello friends!

WE'VE MISSED YOU GUYS. We've got the November topics a wee bit early, but extra time to plan is never a bad thing! Here's what we've got:

Nov. 7 - Pop-culture that terrified you as a child
Nov. 14 - Favorite fictional creatures or animals
Nov. 21 - Two universes you wish you could crossover (character or storywise)
Nov. 28 - Media you are thankful for or that had a big impact on your life at a certain stage

Let me know if you have any questions! Can't wait to see all of your faces soon.

Hello friends!

So, we've got no topics for the month of October. We're taking a little bit of a break from Segue Magic for the month because of a special project: #31DaysofTwilight.

We'll have the November topics posted in the next week or so.

Hopefully, you will all enjoy the vlogs we have planned as part of #31DaysofTwilight!

See you in November!

<3

Sorry for the lateness again but CRAZY SCHEDULE IS CRAZY.

Here are our topics for September:

9/5: What would your Patronus be?
9/12: Something awful that you love anyway.
9/19: Favorite fictional friendships (or moments between friends if you've already talked about this.)
9/26: Autumn Read/Watch/Play List


Can't wait to see your videos!

Thank you! I hadn't seen the T5W stuff yet. We decided not to change the topic, but we did move it to the same week T5W is doing it. So, you can either double up on the topic, or do it Wednesday or Saturday, or do you favorites with T5W and least favorites with us, or pick one or the other. We figured that would be the easiest way to do it! :)

Sorry this is a little late but life is crazy, etc, etc.

Here are the topics for this month:

August 1st: Computer and videos games from our childhood.

August 8th: Build your dream apocalypse team.

August 15th: Favorite/Least Favorite books you read in school.

August 22nd: Life Lessons from Fictional High Schools

August 29th: TV/Movie Watching Habits

I love, love, love this. We're using it for June. And it's timely because I feel like poo and could use all of the pop-culture chicken soup. THANK YOU <3

Trina (Between Chapters) wrote: "Most cringeworthy moments.
Your earliest fandoms."

Earliest fandoms is this week's topic and I'm using cringeworthy moments for June! THANK YOU <3

Williesun wrote: "How about your favourite 90s/early 2000s songs that are terrible and you still cannot not sing and/or dance along when you hear them."

DO WE ALL GET TO DO SING ALONGS IN THE VIDEOS?? :)

(Thank you! Jotting it down for the future.)

Katie wrote: "I have a few ideas!

-For May, favorite fictional mothers. For June, favorite fictional fathers. (Okay, not a terribly original idea.)

-Unpopular opinions (fictional couple you hate everyone else..."

Excellent! We had the moms and dads things already proposed, because you know. Has to be done.

We're using things that don't stand the test of time in May! :)

We've come up with our own tag based on the actual tags we use most frequently on our website. The Snark Ladies will answer these questions throughout the week and then we are in essence tagging YOU. Once you answer the questions, feel free to tag your friends and keep it going!

Here are the tags and associated questions:

1. “Contrivance brings people together” – Name a work that relied too heavily on contrivance for your taste.

2. “Taking the parent out of parenting” – Name your least favorite fictional parents.

3. “Sandy Cohen Eyebrow Scale of Non-Negligent Parenting” – Favorite fictional parents

4. “Detecting the shit out of things” – Name your favorite fictional detective or favorite story that features investigation.

5. “1430 on my SAT” – Name your favorite intelligent character.

6. “I hate this fictional character so hard” – A fictional character you hate. Hard.

7. “Dazzling you with my brooding” – Favorite emotional or broody character.

8. “Beware: actual trauma ahead” – Work that legitimately traumatized you as a child (or child at heart.)

9. “Team Feels” – Fictional work that gives you all of the feels

10. “Team Heartless Cow” – Fictional work that gives you none of the feels, especially if it made other people very emotional.

That's it! :)

Hello friends! Here are the topics for May:

It's perfect here! We said either her, on Twitter or Tumblr (just 'cause we have followers/readers/friends scattered about) so all of those are A+.

Excellent video, as always. No such thing as "wrong" around here. ;)

Here's our playlist for Favorite Fictional Siblings! Everyone's videos is AWESOME, of course:

Hope to see you all this week when we invite fictional characters to a party. :)
