Off-switch

Right, so my attempts at posting this on lj and the teaspoon both led to utterly borked formatting. AO3 sort of borked it, but it didn't make it utterly unreadable so -

Title: A New Being
Word Count: 8337
Characters: Eleven, Clara, Clara's father, the Maitland family
Summary: Christmas! With the Doctor and Clara and Clara's family, and the Maitland family, and isn't it a happy joyous occasion? Except for the freak weather, the mysterious power bumps, and the suspicious Christmas presents. Oh... and the Doctor is acting weird...

--

I wanted to have a go at the Christmas episode before it actually aired, so I challenged myself to write a script up for it. Since it started coming together remarkably fast once the outline was down, I challenged myself further to see if I could finish it in a week. Because I am insane.

It's about 43 pages in Word when properly formatted, so I reckon it would run episode length (and oh, but I am peeved about the formatting getting borked after working so hard on making it all professional like, but apparently HTML and white space hate each other, so). I've got no illusions that it would actually be a good episode (it's got loads of gratuitous flashbacks and angst and references to past stories), but I'm fairly certain it makes more sense than... The End of Time, say? so, there's that.

This is also fulfilling the family square on my hc_bingo card.

Standard Disclaimer: Doctor Who and its characters belong to the BBC and associated copy-right holders. I am making no profit and am just doing this as a writing exercise and for a bit of fun

Disclaimer Two: I actually really like The End of Time. It's a crazy rollicking romp of random. It just doesn't make much sense.

I got an excellent fic rec from ladymercury_10  the other day, and it made me think that it's been awhile since I last updated my Eleven fic list. Now, this isn't an exhaustive collection since I'm doing this off the cuff of my memory and I'm probably forgetting loads, but here's 7 Eleven recs and a link to one of my favourite fic comms for your reading pleasure. The original Eleven rec list is here.

If there's anything that you don't see on either list which you think deserves a shout out please do let me know in the comments. I loves a good Eleven fic and I haven't really had much time to keep on top of them this past year.


( Lots of fic )

Here's my contribution to the eleven_romana  ficathon.
It will probably be up on the teaspoon at some point as well, but for now it's here.
