Prompt: "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"

Notes: A brief but lovely look inside this wonderful character. I am such a sucker for Wilf stories, and this is so beautifully done. The last line makes me tear up.

Prompt: Auld Lang Syne

Notes: I did mention I'm a sucker for Wilf stories? This is beautiful, with just the right family tension between Sylvia and Wilf, and a lovely look into Wilf's mind.

Prompt: "Time is not a line, but a series of now-points."- Taisen Deshimaru

Notes: I'm a Romana/Doctor fan by trade, but I'm a Romana/Duggan fan at heart. I love the way this is constructed, and the way Romana feels about the entire situation is so wonderfully IC.

Prompt: What were you doing ten years ago?
Link: http://eleventh-doctor.livejournal.com/76052.html
Notes: I don't want to like a female Doctor, but this character is so verymuch fun. That, and I love the idea of Lani Tupu as the Master. The post-regeneration scene in this is fantastic, and something I could absolutely see for the Doctor. Wonderful!

Prompt: Five times you cried.

Notes: Harry could easily be a one-note character, but this author proves time and time again that with some love, even characters who only last one season can be fleshed out and made into whole, fascinating characters. I love it!

Notes: I'm used to reading her prompts as Jeanne-Marie, so it took me a moment to realize another personality was writing this. It's brief, but the threat beneath it feels like a knife flat against skin. Cold and dangerous. Brilliant!

Prompt: Ten things that remind you of a special person or place.

Notes: This is lovely, each object its own story. I could genuinely believe not only that each of these things existed, but also that Claire kept them. Bravo!

Prompt: "Most people would rather be certain they're miserable than risk being happy." - Robert Anthony

Notes: I love the jumbled-up style used in this. The repetition, the leaping from topic to topic. It give the sense of a shattered piece of glass that you're trying to put together. Very like the muse at the moment, I think!
