Got one more,

During times of boredom, you jot down the alphabet and write a word for each one relating to Captain Scarlet, and then you check to see if the words have cropped up on the game on here.

..you start taking ideas for fanfics from a completely different fandom and see if you can adapt them to Captain Scarlet

You then go on to use those ideas to convert your friends from the other fandom into this one

I can think of a link to yours Shades,

You drive your mates crazy talking about Captain Scarlet.

Or if Scarlet is unavailable/'unavoidably detained' :wink:

someone else from Spectrum?
(Excluding Black..... you wouldn't want him to turn up and possibly mysteronise you on your birthday! :oops:

You delight in telling people which colour coded Captain was in charge of their area of the country, especially if it is Captain Pink.

Quite personally, I wouldn't mind a visit from The Angels.

Guess what one of my mates got me for my birthday on the 19th of this month? A Captain Scarlet birthday card!!

Alright

You feel like ripping your hair out when you don't get any Captain Scarlet related presents.

You discover that there's a variety of clematis named 'Rhapsody' and will not rest until you've found a nursery that stocks it.

So that means you already have the Captain Scarlet variety of rose?

Or kill two birds with one stone at that nursery... :grin:

Oh, Mary - how could you do that to me! Absolutely no rest for me now :wink:

. I shall simply have to check out that nursery as well. Thank you for the tip :grin:

I can just picture it - 'Captain Scarlet', with 'Rhapsody' entwined around him, both in full bloom... :wink:

You know you are addicted to Captain scarlet when:

You watch the episodes multiple times a week, and spend three months and nearly £250 making an OCS custom action figure set:

You reword a song so its about a Spectrum officer! I won't post the lyrics because it is a naughty song that I've used.

Or, you've ever listened to 'you can leave your hat on' (from 'the full monty') and your imagination just went right there without any words. :wink:

They really missed an oppotunity with CGI, and making NCS Ochre a girl, lol.
(Yeah trust me to come in and lower the tone. And to think I've been really good lately writing gen.)

Anyway umm yeah...
You do actually listen to songs and they remind you of particular characters/pairings, so that it sort of ends up being 'their song'. It does help get you in the mood with writing tricky scenes.
And to that end you have an entire playlist which no one else could understand the significance thereof.
