I promised myself I wouldn't make any more websites. I really did. But somehow here we are again.
Hi! I'm Riona. Every so often I absolutely lose my mind about something and make a website about it. On this occasion, the thing in question is the Goes Wrong productions by Mischief Theatre: The Play That Goes Wrong, The Goes Wrong Show and other plays featuring the fictitious Cornley Drama Society.
If you haven't seen any Goes Wrong productions, I recommend checking them out; they're a lot of fun! Seeing stage plays in person can be financially and/or geographically tricky, of course, but The Goes Wrong Show is widely accessible; you can find it on BBC iPlayer or DVD if you're in the UK, and outside the UK I believe it's officially available on the Lionsgate YouTube channel.
This website is a little scattered and chaotic, as are the plays it's based on, but wander around and see what you find! Some of the links lead off-site, to the Goes Wrong fanfiction I've posted on AO3 (I have written a lot of Goes Wrong fanfiction); these links will open in a new tab.
As a heads-up: Robert Grove is my favourite Goes Wrong character - he's one of my favourite characters of all time, in fact - and is also wildly attractive to me in his Henry Lewis incarnation, so you'll probably be hearing a disproportionate amount about Robert as you navigate this website.
In the unlikely event that Henry Lewis stumbles across this website: h-hi? Hi. I love your work, and I'm very sorry for being so weird about the character you play.
This is my fifth fan website in this 'exploring an imaginary location' style. Please don't let me create any more. I can't keep doing this. If you're interested, though, my other websites are:
If you'd like to link to this website, a) thank you very much, and b) here's a button!
This website is part of the Web in the Round theatre webring! Take a look, if you'd like to find more theatre-themed personal webpages. (And, if you came here via the webring, here's the homepage of this site.)
If you're somehow not tired of hearing me talk after looking through my websites, I have a blog on Dreamwidth at rionaleonhart, where you can find my thoughts on whatever I happen to be watching or playing at the moment. A lot of the pages on this website were adapted from posts I originally made on this blog.
If you're interested in my fanfiction, both for the Goes Wrong series and for other canons, I have an AO3 account under the name Riona.
If you're more of a Tumblr person, I'm on there under the username rixareth.
Actually, while we're talking about Tumblr, here's what all the members of the Cornley Drama Society would be like on Tumblr:
- Chris created a Tumblr in the hope of promoting the drama society, but he gave up on it very quickly. It contains four posts: a photograph of the set for one of their plays, a photograph of the poster for one of their plays, and two photographs of birds he reblogged.
- Robert is not really an Internet person and does not have a Tumblr. However, if he did have one, it would be entirely filled with black-and-white photographs of himself in dramatic poses, each captioned with a quotation from a play.
- Sandra's Tumblr is all selfies, all the time. She never reblogs anything or communicates with anyone else on the platform. (Chris and Robert might communicate with other Tumblr users, but a) rarely, and b) only to get into arguments.)
- Max posts photographs multiple times per day. Pictures of rehearsals, friends, family, animals, landscapes, plants, food. Sometimes he'll post a photograph that leaves people going 'why did you even take this?': a paving slab, the corner of a desk, a blurry close-up of his own sleeve. He follows all the others and likes everything they post, but he never reblogs.
- Annie actually uses Tumblr properly! She reblogs pictures she likes and text posts that make her laugh, she keeps up with her mutuals, and she posts a lot of ask memes to encourage people to talk to her. She's definitely at least peripherally aware of fandom and may well be actively in fandom.
- Dennis originally just used his Tumblr for liking animal pictures and videos, but then he saw a post scolding people for not reblogging and panicked. He now reblogs everything he sees out of a confused sense of obligation.
- Vanessa created a Tumblr at Annie's insistence, spent a long time carefully setting it up and finding the perfect layout, and then got too intimidated to actually use it and left it untouched. If she did use it, she would exclusively reblog, rather than making any posts of her own, and would tag everything meticulously; she and Annie are the only members of the drama society who actually use tags.
- Jonathan exclusively makes short text posts about his everyday life like he thinks he's on Twitter.
- Trevor's Tumblr has never been used; it has a default icon and no posts. The blog name is 'trevor' and the blog description is 'stop telling me to make one of these annie'.
