A friend just sent me the link to this. I jumped straight to the third series and have been laughing myself silly at Steven Pacey making jokes about being cast based on his curls. And then he starts actively shipping Avon and Vila at one point. It's hilarious.

I decided to go super literal for the mind games prompt and created this: http://games.usvsth3m.com/2048/blakes7-edition/

Spoilers abound. Also, I think that using .gifs has made it significantly harder than the original. Because I'm evil.

Yoinked from lost_spook and bearing in mind that I am very tired and some of these became actual drabbles as a result

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.

Blake's 7
Doctor Who
Kamin Rider OOOs
Magic School Bus
Sapphire and Steel

2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and - you guessed it - list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)

3: I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble - it's just inspiration.

4: Bravo! Have a cookie.

lost_spook has created the wonderful prompts communitity dw_allsorts, and in a fit of madness I've grabbed one of the mid-sized tables with the claim to write nine Doctor/TARDIS theme fics.

#01 – A red light or a star	#02 – It will be a long trip	#03 – The heart in reverse
#04 – A ribband of red	#05 – The world has many seas	#06 – A silver city
#07 – According to rumour	#08 – Day of mist	#09 – Fun, Foam and Freedom

First half is HERE

( Continuing from where I left off last time... )



Tonight is apparently a night for watching old scifi, so upon finishing Assignment One I tried watching Lexx, which is a Canadian-German scifi show from the 90s which I'd never heard of before yesterday but looked intriguing... I could not get through a single episode.

The only entertaining characters were the dragonfly bomb (who died), and the love sick robot head on a skateboard. I also enjoyed the space pirate in a sparkly pink sequined kilt. These are awesome things, but they were not enough to redeem the confusing muddle of a plot and the Ben Steed levels of fail.

... has anyone else on the flist watched this show? It got good reviews on IMDB. Is it just the first episode that's terrible? Should I persevere? Or should I ditch it and watch more S&S instead?

The reply from Dayna


Fandom, I love you so much.

I'm not much into fabric, but I've just learned of a give away of 8x8 squares of custom printed fabric at: http://www.spoonflower.com/silky_faille

Between noon EST on Thursday, Jan. 23rd, and noon ESt on Friday, Jan. 24th, get a free, custom-printed swatch of our Silky Faille fabric, along with free shipping. One free swatch per household.

The swatch is an 8 inch square- that's big enough for an eyeglass case, one side of a potholder or a pocket patch on an apron or...just to see how they print.

You can choose any for sale design at Spoonflower (or make your own).

I learned this from feng_shui_house on DW (one day I WILL learn the coding to link DW people) who has a shop full of designs here: http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/eclectic_house (lots of nice cat patterns. I'm actually thinking of getting the owl cats just to put up on my fridge)
