Off-switch

The sudden explosion of B7 fic on Ao3 is making me very, very happy. There's been something like 20 stories posted in the past week! It's more new works than I've seen in my entire time in this fandom all at once! *claps hands in glee*

Merry Christmas all!

I've just spent the eve of it making penguin nails, cleaning the house, writing fic, and watching old British SciFi. Since I know at least one person of the flist who will probably get quite a bit of glee out of there being a reaction post to this... here you are lost_spook. You are a dangerous dealer of vintage fandom, you know that, right?

Before proceeding, I should mention that I usually spend half of lunchtime reading with the balance being spent in a nap when reading becomes too tiresome. Half the time I end up dreaming about what I was reading and it all gets jumbled strangely...

( Things related to B7 and Doctor Who )

I just thought of it, and checked, and IT'S FANDOM STOCKING TIME!

*is giddy*

I've been looking forward to being able to do this - with proper internet - all year.

It should be well evidenced by now that Blake's 7 has eaten my brain a bit, but now it's official because I've made fic, and me writing non-Whoniverse fic is a rare thing indeed. It's also filling the cursed prompt on my H/C bingo card.




Title: Information
Word Count: 1717
Characters: Zen, Kerr Avon
Warnings: N/A
Summary:
Set after Redemption, Avon interrogates Zen to find out who is really in control of the Liberator and what happened to its former crew.

I... what did I just watch?!?!
( This could not be more crack if it tried. )

Since I'm getting near the end of the season I feel like the next two episode are probably going to be really depressing and full of people randomly dying and awful cliff-hangers and all of that... which I will watch with anticipation and enjoyment, but I really enjoyed this crack. It was just so much crack. :D

ETA: I just watched the finale, and yup. Check. Check. Double check on the cliff-hanger. But I loved this bit of dialogue:

Vila: "Avon, this is stupid!"
Avon: "And since when has that ever stopped us?"

Ahhh!! Time to mainline series 3 me thinks.

All has been revealed, the fest is now, for most intents and purposes, finished, and I'm left wondering where I'm going to get my daily dose of Eleventy now that it's all over...

Because that was A LOT of fun. The format, with dispensing of only a few fics a day and the anonymous creators, made for such an atmosphere of suspense and mystery, and the end result was so many lovely things.

I was the proud recipient of:

20 Eleven icons by coffeesuperhero.

And gah, aren't they pretty? Lookit his face! And the colours! Coffeesuperhero does such a wonderful job with the green and brown palette, making them Bright and Cheerful colours. I don't know if she/he knew those were my favourites, but I'm so happy and impressed. I've stopped requesting those colours because the results are usually a bit... mixed... but these are brilliant! And, so long as Coffeesuperhero is okay with it, anyone who wants can grab and use. I know that's always a bit of an odd point with icons made for another person. Hmmm... I should probably put that on the post itself to. Such pretties should not be squandered and I've got only so many icon spots to show them off in!

The Humpday Party Mix by eve11.

Summary: Shuffle. Record. Rewind. Play.
Word count: 3997
Characters: Eleven, Clara, Surprise Guest

OMG, THIS! THIS! eve11 snuck this in right under the line at the point where I wasn't expecting anything else to be posted to the fest - let alone something else for me. It perfectly fulfilled my longing for some plot-based gen fic about Eleven and Clara just... having an adventure together without angst, or plot arcs, or mad timey-wimey circumstances to detract from the adorableness of their sass and bicker. There's a bit of timey-wimey (because with those two, it's inevitable), but it's more of a bonus epilogue to the actual plot (and it's so well done and moving). Plus, there are judgmental plants, amazing world building, and that Surprise Gust who had me making most undignified sounds of squee when he showed up.

Myself, I had a more than a little bit too much fun creating things. My two assignments (I signed up to pinch hit) were:

Doubt is a pain too lonely, for nancybrown who requested a fic where Rita survived after The God Complex.
Word count: 1893
Characters: Eleven. Rita
Warnings: Brief discussion of suicide, brief mentions of what happened to Donna, lots of stuff about faith and religion
Links: HERE at Eleventy_Fest and HERE on the Teaspoon

and

Story About a Girl, for kaydeefalls who requested Clara encounters any past companion of the Doctor as the Impossible Girl and Clara's mum died on the day the Autons attacked in Rose
Word count: 3752
Characters: Clara, Nina, Nine, Rose
Summary: The most precious moments come between waking up and falling asleep
Warnings: Character death, but that should be obvious from the characters and the prompts
Links: HERE at Ao3 and HERE on the Teaspoon

We were also allowed to make anonymous gifts as we felt for for any prompts that we found inspiring.

I did a cake!fic for nonelvis (which she guessed was me right away... it was pretty obvious, what with the cake and all). Don't Pretend This Wasn't Intentional is 323 words and is posted HERE at Ao3 and HERE on the Teaspoon. (Lost_spook, you can move it into the collection if you'd like).

I also did a bit of fanart for NancyBrown's other prompts. One was on Jenny and Vastra adopting a homicidal potato, the other was on how River's sex life didn't stop after being downloaded into the Library. Both (completely pg) attempts are HERE. I'll get them uploaded to DeviantArt at some later date.

And finally, for hearyoume I learned how to make .gifs out of video clips, a skill which I am certain will come in handy in the future. Hearyoume wanted an animated Friends Only banner based on Vincent and the Doctor's starry night scene. Over HERE.

There is also a TON of other stuff over at the com. I'd make recs, but I'd end up reccing all of it I think (though, lucky me, my Calufrax posting is coming up so I'll be able to do some on there maybe). I recommend that anyone on my flist who wasn't involved check out the MASTER POST there are so many amazing fics, and vids, and graphics, artworks, podfics... it''s just astonishing. The vids especially. I've had You're No God stuck in my head ALL MONTH because of them.

Big shout out of thanks to the mods. And also to eve11 for beta'ing for me.
