Bored. Too hot to sleep. Meme gacked from nonelvis.

I currently have 73 works archived at the AO3 (84 if you count my kinky alter ego, but I don't know how to link to all pseuds so let's stick with kscribbles). Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 73* (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.*Because ( Read more... )

41!

Number 41 is Dance. An old school (written in 2007, after all), Ten/Rose reunion fic. Things I like about it ( ... )

I think your #1 really nails it: there was *so much* post-"Doomsday" fic out there (and even I wrote one!), and quite a lot of it was happy and hopeful. I had only a vague memory of reading this story, and it was nice to read it again; it's very of its time, but I think that's a good thing.

OMG you replied so I can't fix the horrible typo in 1. THERE WERE still infinite possibilities. I was sleepy and sleep-deprived.

The flurry of post-Doomsday reunion fic was a bit like the flurry of Post-JE very confused shipper fic. And while both still exist, it's just not the same. If you ignore S4 now (as many youngins still do), I think you do both Rose's development and Handy's whole character a disservice. Back in the day, there was no wrong. Sky's the limit. Angst away or just have a fucking awesome hug for thousands of words. It was kind of a magical time. Strange how fic can be a sort of... fandom artifact that way. :)

without going to even glance at them to see what I might get.... #52

Number 52 is Transition, a Fright Night fic, a missing scene, told from the pov of Amy. Things I like about it ( ... )
