Near-pointless jumbled thoughts post on the latest Who ep:

( Spoilers for the ep, and discussion of rumoury spoilers/spec I've heard for pt2 and S5; also spoils book things that Rusty seems to be 'influenced by' )

I got Culture fic for Yuletide. I got AWESOME Culture fic for Yuletide.

I definitely put that prompt in the mix very much as a long shot ('cos I know I deliberately didn't offer Banks out of the particularly intimidating nature of matching the source material in that case), but my author came through in spades: The Deceivers is an absolutely ( Read more... )

I'm disappointed; none of you asked anything really wanky, though I'd have been happy to tell the truth. I did consider cheating and adding the questions that would prompt the rants I really want to write, but that wouldn't really be in the spirit of it.
