Catching up
It has been a while since I've written. I looked at my icons, trying to choose one to go with this posting, and realized they're all of characters (mostly Doctor/Rose) I'll not see again except frozen in time on shows already seen...and in fanfiction. I hope good fanfic continues to appear with 9, 10, Human!10, Rose, Martha, Donna and families ( Read more... ) -
Don't Expect Happy
MOVIE: So I finally saw Jude, with Christopher Eccleston and Kate Winslet. Don't expect happy. Excellent. Intense.
FANVIDS: The Dance , The Journey
FANFICS: divine, terrible, incomprehensible , In Human Hands (again), But Broken Lights (still)
And maybe it goes without saying, Water of Mars. ( Spoilers... ) -
My Latest Dr. Who Fic Recs
I've been splurging on fanfic - finally taking a much-needed break from work.
Walk Out With Me to the Unknown Region www.whofic.com/viewstory.php by Rutsky. It is the story of Jack and the others who were brought back to life by Rose on the Game Station at "Parting of the Ways". Fabulous stuff. Take a look! While you're at Rutsky's page, check ( Read more... ) -
Rude and Not Ginger
I recently was completely rude to a brilliant author whose fan fiction I really admire. It is pretty easy to miss the mark when you're aiming at the wrong target. I was aiming to share myself, my feelings and my passion about Rose and the Doctor, but I talked to this author about her characters and story in particular, and what my wishes for them ( Read more... ) -
Folk Music and Fan Fiction
Lisa, you've got me thinking about fanfiction. Lisa posted an entry in her journal wondering about fanfiction and gender. A little earlier she shared a great reply she made to a Fantasy Magazine article on fanfiction.
So this morning I was thinking that fanficiton is like folk music, to an extent. There are people who just write, like you describe ( Read more... ) -
The Wider World
Weeellll, not much wider, actually. Still within this world of Doctor Who fandom, but branching out a bit from just the new series, and just Rose and Doctor.
I spent some time on FaceBook, which is a bit of a scary place for someone like me who likes to only have posted what I want posted and keep other things out of the eyes of everyone. Anyway, I ( Read more... ) -
Tension
Well, I just read the next installment of Rallalon's In Human Hands, and I was trying to figure out why I like is so well. I've actually never given much thought before to what makes a piece of fiction enjoyable for me. Breaking new ground here *smirks, rolls eyes at self, wants to hide face behind hand...my very own 3 Faces of Eve*
So this is me, ( Read more... ) -
Children of Time Awards for Christmas
Wow, what a Christmas present. I found the Children of Time awards, just in the nick of time to vote, although I think they switch their day sooner than mine, so I have to get on it. I won't be able to read all the fictions nominated, and a certain fiction that I adore is noticeably missing (I didn't know until too late to nominate, alas), but I ( Read more... ) -
A Doctor By Any Other Name
OK, I am still stumped as to what to call the post-Journey's End part-human doctor.
I like 10.5 for clarity's sake. Although I think its easier to say "ten-five" instead of "ten point five" , and I want to point out that the .5 doesn't mean he is 1/2 human. He is part human. There's a difference.
I stay away from ten2 because it has overtones of " ( Read more... )
