4. The Vampire Lovers (1970): This Hammer Horror classic stars Ingrid Pitt as the alluring vampire Carmilla, who preys on young women in a secluded 19th-century village. it’s a captivating blend of horror and sensuality.

With so many amazing fanworks on offer this year, you might be struggling a little to keep up with all of them: spending a lot of time refreshing bidding spreadsheets, or maybe even scrambling to keep track of all of the auctions you're interested in.
Now, thanks to a fantastic tool built by @cathalinaheart, it's easy to track a bunch of auctions all in one place!
You can find the watchlist template here. It's currently filled in with a couple of the mods' own offers just to demonstrate what it looks like when it's filled out, but here's how to set it up for yourself:
Make a copy for yourself
Delete the auctions you don't care about
Open up the auctions you do care about, and put in links to the bidding sheets, bidding forms, and auction posts in the appropriate columns
label each row with the name of the creator, and fill in the "what?" and "notes" columns in ways that will help you remember why you're interested
Once you've done that, the sheet will then populate the colored columns with the current high bid amount, and the name of the high bidder.
Now you have a tool that keeps track of the current high bid on all of your auctions, and also makes it easy to jump over and place another bid whenever you want to.
While we your mods do a lot of work behind the scenes, a lot of what makes the auction amazing comes from you all. We're so grateful to @cathalinaheart for building and sharing this tool!
Was completely baffled by the opening of Daredevil 3x01 so I looked it up and found out that The Defenders connected Seasons 2 and 3.
While not as great as Daredevil, it has its moments and is overall an enjoyable series.

Love that I get to watch characters I used to read in comic books come to life in such a spectacular way. (Read a lot of them at my uncle's house but my cousin didn't own any Jessica Jones so she's a 'new' character to me.)
