Writer's Block: The final frontier

The good ol' DbyA - home of cake!fic, of silly hats, of The Thread We Shall Not Speak About, of polite fan rants, late night c-box parties, Doctor vs Doctor and quite a bit of other random stuff.

But even if it had none of that, it would still be home.

Having heard a lot about this I shall go and poke my nose in.

Oh, do! We'd love to have you!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks. I did take a brief look this morning but I hadn't a lot of time. Shall wander over again for a lengthier look.

[clocketpatch]

You know you want to. :D :D :D

I dunno. I went and looked in the companions section - saw four pages on Martha - and found three were about Tom Baker playing Rasputin! Which, okay, you lot go off topic, I can deal with that. But I noticed someone had left a comment something along the lines of "Isn't this supposed to be about Martha?", and the response they got read, to me personally, like a bit of a slap.

That thread's from 2007. O.o You can't judge us from that. The site is four or so years old and had a few, ahem, changes of management style in its early days (actually, from what I understand, it didn't even start as a Who site but as the meeting point for a high school Age of Sail club somewhere in California) it has... evolved since then, and some of the older threads can be a bit... strange...

Anyway, the site as we know and love it started forming more in early 2008. Most of the current mods and members joined after that date and the place is quite different now. To get a better idea of how the site is run currently I'd recommend reading the 50 most recent or some newer threads.

Yes but the fact that no one's even *talked* about Martha for four years - given the many things her character's gone through - makes me think that I wouldn't fit in. I mean, yes, I do love loads of the other companions besides Martha. But she's my absolute favourite - and it seems no one else is that interested, so I'm not sure I'm interested in going there.

Yaaaay for DbyA - pass the cake and let's add some sprinkles. ^_^

[clocketpatch]

Mmmm... sprinkles

[thisbluespirit]

Only ONE website!!! *faints in horror*

DbyA is wonderful, but what about Teaspoon? What about randomisers? What about Google? What about rail tickets and book sites? What about Ancestry?

Clearly, if this were being put into force, I would need severe counselling in order to cope.

*cough* Just when I was beginning to think I might be sane.

There has not been enough cake fic lately, has there?

[clocketpatch]

What about WIKIPEDIA?!?! *faints in horror*

I thought about google, but it would be rather useless without other website to glom onto, and I don't really count my email as part of the Internet (though I probably should).

Definitely not enough cake!fic. Which reminds me of the fact that I still haven't written proper cake!fic. I must remedy this immediately! *starts brainstorming*

[thisbluespirit]

An accident with nekked!Ten, Six and Evelyn cooking her trademark chocolate cake? :-D

Yes, good point about Google. Wikipedia - 8-o What about fanfic research? (I read all their entries on time travel for my Nat and Tilly AU. I couldn't find anything anywhere to hand in rl, book-wise.)

Yes, let's keep the internet. I feel the point of it might be defeated if there were only one website. It might attract a lot of traffic.

:-)

ICON TWINS!

[clocketpatch]

Now there is a though... there's not enough Evelyn fic either... but I'm not sure how Six would take it, seeing his nekkid future!self bursting out of a good friend's cake.

O_o

...I can't even imagine what it would look like if all of the stupid on the Internet was forced to condense onto one website.

Exactly. The world needs to know! :lol:

Yeah. I think implosion would be the result.

Awww... :)

But yes, lostspook raises a good point - only one site?? Forever??? Wha???? O.o

[clocketpatch]

If it could only be one, I'm picking the one with the most interesting people on it!

And I say again: Awwwww.... :)
