Dear (most likely international/not US) friends,

Have you ever heard of Fireman Sam (a cartoon character who is, as the name suggests, a fireman) or have you ever seen his magazine sold in a shop near you? If so, would you be interested in helping out a grateful Auntie? We can find his toys but not the magazine.

Thank you!

Auntie Lar

Fireman Sam is still popular in the UK I believe. I found this link, but I don't know if they deliver to the States:

Yeah, my sister found it on YouTube while looking for something fireman related for Nic to watch. He fell in love with it and now it's what he watches ALL THE TIME. We're trying to find a way of getting him some of the toys and magazines without resorting to getting on the plane! Thanks for the link!

Yep, heard of that, but I don't know if the magazines are around my way - I don't check magazine stands - but I come with links:

Here delivers to countries other than the UK

Here's the facebook page

And this place ships internationally

Good luck!

OH EM GEE! I don't think the magazine is worth $102 for the year. Will have to fall back on the books!

Don't know if books would help but have added link anyway. Hope it helps

I know nothing about Fireman Sam, but I wanted to let you know that I BLAME YOU FOR THE CRYING I'M DOING RIGHT NOW because you are to blame for this fic I'm writing, gosh darn it. *shakes fist*

NICE! Which one? I always like to know what I should be handing out kleenex for! Not that I will apologize. Never gonna apologize!

Would you like to beta read it? It's fairly short, and could probably use your eye, given that you'd get the references.

Sure! Send it over! I should be on tonight ( working today and was stuck gluing paper together last night) and can look it over.

OMG!!! I have a Fireman Sam icon!!!! Wheeee!! I know that is no help whatsoever. Oops. Adore the guy. Totally. (Shamefully so.)
I don't know how much it would be to ship a magazine or two, but surely it can't be that much? I'll take a look in the shops and see if there are any kicking around!

How in the world do I know someone with a Fireman Sam icon???? *grins* That is great! I really want to make one that says "Oh, Norman!" because that's what I say all the time when we watch together and that's one of the things that Nic has picked up, too. I really need to learn all the words to the theme song so I'm not just singing "He's here to save the day, He's Fireman Sam" over and over and over again.

My main question is... is there Fireman Sam fanfic anywhere? I wrote a Handy Manny story once (and it still gets occasional hits on AO3, surprisingly enough) and have thought about coming up with stories for Nic and Will.

If you see any magazines, I would be ETERNALLY GRATEFUL if you could send them my way. We will make sure you are lavished with love and gratitude and compensated accordingly!

Heee! Well, I am now the proud owner of one issue of the Fireman Sam magazine, complete with cheap useless binoculars on the front, LOL! I also got you a Fireman Sam birthday card so you can use it sometime :) Just let me know where to send them! Mail me at fifi @ fififolle.co.uk and I'll get back to you from my gmail. Your biggest local post office probably does Poste Restante if you dont' want to give me your address *g* Always handy. And don't worry about costs, consider it fandom love :D

You wrote Handy Manny? Awesome! I don't know him, but, LOVE <3. There's a few fics at the pit - http://www.fanfiction.net/cartoon/Fireman-Sam/ Goodness knows if they are any good. I once wrote some rather poignant Sam/Penny UST that ended up being Penny/Elvis (poor Sam!) but I don't think I ever posted it anywhere, it's languishing in a notebook somewhere. I was rather fond of it, I must find it and type it up! Especially if there is someone crazy enough that might read it... :p I have also written 2 drabbles, where I kind of, um, slashed Sam with Captain Ryan from Primeval. They are so fluffy they don't deserve a rating, but they are locked down as 18 anyway *g* Though really, in my heart, I ship Sam and Tom the helicopter pilot now. Ahem. And those whole sad universes are best kept in my head :p

ANYWAY. That theme tune is in my head now. Thanks! #Sam is the hero next door!#

Do you make icons? That Norman one sounds awesome, LOL! I might have to make it if you don't *g*

There is MUCH REJOICING! I'll email you tonight with my address. Thank you so much!

I haven't yet gone looking for images to make an icon. The question still needs to be asked: which do I like better, the claymation or the CGI? I simply don't know.

Now *there's* a question!! I rather prefer the appearance of the claymation myself, but then the new series has Tom the helicopter pilot, so. *torn*

Not sure if you tried to mail me, but I haven't seen it yet :)
