Off-switch

It's been a bit of a weird day, cleaning house and prepping for my nerd-out weekend (we're drinking sonic screwdrivers and watching Hamlet boo-yah). Is it sad that I've been looking forward to this for months? Then I got it into my head that my credit card had vanished and undid most of my cleaning frantically looking for it (when it was where it was supposed to be the entire time). Head!desk

By request, I bring you a great whacking list of Eleven-era fic which I enjoy and find reasonably well written. This isn't complete. I couldn't for the life of me find the one where he asks Sarah-Jane if seven year olds make appropriate companions again... which is a shame because it was good, and that one where Wee!Amy meets all of the other Doctors out of order during the 12 years.... And I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I know I'm missing a whole whack of good River ones (in fact, I don't think I have any River ones on this list, for shame). Probably I'll add to it as time goes on. But, for the moment, and in no particular order....

( A really long list of fic )

So, I finally scanned and uploaded my giraffes to the One Million Giraffe project: http://olahelland.net/giraffes/?id=45436

If you don't know what that is check out the link. It is further proof that the internet's great potential for awesome can, in fact, be harnessed for good.

And, while we're on the subject of the internet being made of win, I've really got to finish my help_haiti story. I've got about 3,000 words written. Yay! It keeps trying to turn into a multi-chapter giant, but I want a timely delivery not another never-ending-WIP.

Anddd... for something completely different.

I did a bit of icon rearranging last night. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted one of my favourites. The "Doctor! Time Lord! Yeah!" / "Donna! Human! No!" animated one. It doesn't appear to be saved to my computer. If anyone knows where I could get it back, or else has a suggestion for a good Donna replacement icon, I'd love them forever.

Chapters 1-4 are now up: http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=34654

First things first I want to wish a happy birthday to garpu  tomorrow. Hope you have a good day.

Secondly, I've finally finished that epic Seven, Ace, and Hex story I've been talking about for ages. So, as soon as I manage to send it off to my beta I'll be able to start posting. Yay!

However, there's one other thing that's still lacking... and that's a title! Any good ideas? Anyone? Because my creativity cells are well and truly drained.

A bit of random fic from when I really REALLY ought to be working on other things. As with almost all my lj fic this carries the Not Complete, May Never Be Completed, and the Not Beta'd warnings. This is set directly after The Lazarus Experiment, which I haven't seen for a bit, so excuse any flubs in the carry-on scene.

I do not own Doctor Who. This is probably for the best.




Title: Resting Place
Word count: Approx 2000
Characters: Ten, Martha, the TARDIS because she's awesome

( Here be uncompleted fic-bunnies. Read at peril. )

Right, so, it's not finished, it's not beta'd, and it's not particularly good, and it doesn't have a title, but have approx. 2,500 words of Ten and Donna madness. I can't quite grasp Donna's voice and I'm apparently in the mood to whack Ten with a mallet repeatedly, but never mind that.

Enjoy random fic.

(and I was trying so very, very hard to avoid the 'vengeful religious type' stereotype, but then it just sort of happened anyways. Sorry.)

(and yes, I know there are other things that I ought to be working on. Again, I'm sorry. I'm SO sorry.)

So, I've been digging through the archives, AKA my forgotten fic folder, and I've rediscovered several dead-end fics. Half of these, I don't even know where I was going with them. I came across some rather nice icons as well *points at icon*. Anyways, there is a point to all of this, and tht is *dum diddy dum* crack!bunny Torchwood fic! Written by yours truly prior to Children of Time (which I still haven't seen, for the record, though I've been told that I ought to remedy that).

As I remember, I wrote this on request for abbyromana , and I'm posting it now because I think it's slightly funny even if it does give off an air of trying too hard:

 

( CRACK WARNING! )

Writen for the crossover meme and gm_andy  who requested Frodo and Nine. Watch out for the angst (I swear, I will fulfil one of these meme requests without diving into angst land)


( Lands of Fiction )

For abbyromana  and greatbriton  who both requested Ian and Giles for the multifandom conversation meme. I'll get around to doing the others eventually I suppose. Fic writing is being greatly curtailled by life at the moment, and I'm wondering if I'm going to have to drop some things *prods at finishathon commitment* After spending the whole day at work copy-pasting spread sheets my enthusiasm for doing anything else likes to crawl into a corner and die. However, I've been wanting to write this fic for a long time. It's set circa 1966 and, alas, I haven't watched any One lately so my Ian characterization is mostly in name only, but I hope you enjoy anyways and forgive me the angst.

 

( Here be fic! )

So, I've finally contributed money to that great and noble company which we call Big Finish. I got two audios: Night Thoughts (which I didn't like much over-all, but had some great character moments) and Arrangements for War (which I liked quite a bit, except for the ending which made me scratch my head a bit; I couldn't figure out why the Doctor was willing to allow all of the collateral damage that the love story brought about; and why he seemed relatively unconcerned by said collateral, but meh. Was a good story and good character moments). I highly recommend.

Anyway, I'm back at work on my Seven-Ace-Hex jungle thriller thing, though I should really, really, REALLY be working on my WIPs (I did plug in a new 2000 words for Forever Tomorrow though, I'm just trying to get the conclusion sorted... I knew where I was going with that story, and then it all just sort of got away from me).

What I want to know is, do any of you think there'd be an audience for a story which contains: a spot-light stealing OC who swears a lot, a Big Finish character (Hex), an-absent-for-most-of-the-fic Doctor (Seven), a-half-dead-for-quite-a-bit companion (Ace),  and a combination of near-future politics (and by near I mean, fifty years hence, and in the DW universe), random historical stuff, archaeology, and aliens? And timey-wimey, lots of timey-wimey... It's also looking to be quite long, if I ever get it done that is. I've got around 6000 words and I'm just finishing up the second chapter. So, probably a doosey.

Also, is anyone familiar enough with Seven, Ace, and Hex to be willing to beta for them? I'm thinking this will be a relatively early on adventure to make up for the fact that I haven't heard most of their audios, but I'm afraid I'm getting the dialogue wrong and maybe contradicting established characterisation?

Mostly I'm just concerned people aren't going to stand for reading half a chapter of my OC stamping around swearing.
