Thank you so much to the person who bought me paid time!!! *hugshugshugs* More icon spaces... Watch me flail!
And I bring you fic! This has been eating my head for weeks and weeks, and I have been tinkering with it in odd moments - not easy with working & trying to keep on top of housework & family too... Hope you like (and have the time to read...) - and it is sort of Christmas fic.
Title: Time Crash Mark II (The Shippy Version)
Summary: “[The Doctor is] a serial falling-in-lover. He loves them all.” Steven Moffat
Setting: Pre-S2 finale/post-S6 finale
Character/Pairings: Doctor/River, Doctor/Rose
Beta: The lovely![[personal profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kathyh (all mistakes mine!)
Spoilers: Minor ones for S5-6.
Word count: 2500 approx.
Genre: Schmoop, humour, romance, angst, hurt/comfort.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Everything here is borrowed or stolen.
Dedication: Forhumansrsuperior, because she is awesome. This fic is basically tailor-made to hit all her kinks, which means that it is shameless. No really. No really. (I’m talking Dido’s ‘White Flag’ crazy committed. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

20 Dec 2011 10:16 pmSomeone should make a River (or rather, a River/Doctor) vid to Adam Lambert's 'For Your Entertainment'.
Lyrics under cut. ( Read more... )
Long day. Very long day. But I might have fic for you tomorrow...

Dammit LJ!
19 Dec 2011 07:21 pmYou might have heard there's a new release tomorrow. (Release 88.) Well guess what - they're smuggling in STUPID STUPID STUPID changes. Most notably the removal of subject-lines from comments, which... WHAT? It is one of the single most useful things on the whole site! Also they'll get rid of the drop down menu for icons, and as someone addicted to them... well. I am NOT HAPPY.

wendymr has a good post here detailing everything, including what you can do.
Mostly - just damn. I don't want to move to Dreamwidth, but if LJ decides to be unusable I won't have a choice...

Awesome Rammstein vid the second!
17 Dec 2011 06:26 pmThis time it's
Ich Will by10littlebullets.
Summary: Peoples of the earth, please attend carefully: the Master is a performance artist for audiences both great and small, and the cameras are always rolling. Beware audience participation.
It is a truly excellent Master vid (w/subtitles), and does the wonderfully clever thing of showing how the Doctor is a mirror for the Master, rather than the other way around! I am all a-flail. (Totally a word!)

Rammstein + Doctor Who = Pure Awesomeness.
Lyrics here, and many thanks tohoneynoir who posted it first.
ETA: A few more thoughts on the vid under the cut. Although I just want to say that if anyone wants to know why Seven is BAMFness incarnate, all they need to do is watch the first 30 seconds of this vid. ( The man who can turn an army around at the mention of his name... )

Mmmmm OTP.
13 Dec 2011 08:59 pmFirst of all, look at this gorgeous icon kathyh made for me! ♥ (Very sharable, just credit Kathy.)
Also, did you know that there's going to be a GAME? Like so:
Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will immerse gamers in the universe of Doctor Who, allowing them to take on the role of the Doctor and River Song as they travel across time and space to save the Earth. Gamers must learn to master the complexities of time travel with exceptional time based game play, changes made in one time will impact another creating multiple possibilities and challenging players to solve puzzles across the centuries.
My OTP has a GAME! I can't even. *hands*
Anyway, I started this post with the intention of pimping the River/Doctor Fan Awards:
LOTS of good stuff. LOTS AND LOTS. Voting is going to be difficult. (And I notice, with amusement, that my stories are up against each other. In the hurt/comfort category. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME? *laughs*)
Oh and 'No One Knows' is like the PERFECT song for LKH. (Seriously, look at these lyrics: Oh, what you do to me/No one knows/And I realize you're mine/Indeed a fool am I [...] Heaven smiles above me/What a gift here below/But no one knows)

Teatime. Miss M is extolling the greatness of icanhascheezburger...
Miss M: And that's why I made a person ages ago, in case Spike-the-cat ever does something funny.
Me (gently admonishing): Not 'person'. 'Profile'.
Miss M: Mum! Why do you always have to correct me?
Me: Well... terminology is important.
Miss M (disappointed): Awww. *I* wanted to say 'terminology'.
Sometimes she's such a mini-me I almost feel worried. ;)
ETA: Oh, and The Cherub read all of Green Eggs and Ham all by herself!

“Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back...”
11 Dec 2011 07:02 pmTRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN! :)
Doctor Who: two long-lost episodes uncovered.
Galaxy 4 part three and The Underwater Menace part two found by collectors. (Apparently Galaxy is kinda rubbish, but at least it is now rubbish we can WATCH and not just wonder about. Plus, ONE! And The Underwater Menace, I'm being reliably informed, is pretty great, plus it's actually now the earliest surviving episode to feature the second Doctor!)
And here is a picture gallery!

Finally found the time to 'decorate' my LJ. And I've had this icon since... January? I found it, and liked it so much that I decided to upload it immediately so I wouldn't forget it once Christmas came round again. (Yes, I'm weird. But isn't it magical?)
The Cherub hasn't really got the hang of jokes yet. Especially not 'Knock, knock' ones, which she keeps making up... Here's an example from last night:
Cherub: Knock, knock!
Other family member (sighing): Who's there?
Cherub: The pizza man!
Other family member (giving in to the inevitable): The pizza man who?
Cherub: The pizza man who knows what's on your list!
[beat, as everyone looks around at each other trying to work out what on EARTH she's thinking]
Miss M: Well she is factually correct...
~~~
Also, the girls spent a good long time watching Young Dracula on CBBC yesterday (new TV series) and this morning (there was a marathon thing). And despite everything, I must give Joss credit where credit's due: Slayers are girls, these days. It's deeply embedded in our culture now, and for that I will always be grateful.

10 Dec 2011 11:11 pmBBC News: Doctor Who's Russell T Davies quits to care for partner, after partner's diagnosis with brain cancer.
Also, an interview from PinkNews.
I hope and pray that his partner gets better. (One of the things running through The Writer's Tale is how much Russel cares about his boyfriend, and this must be absolutely devastating for them.)

I think I do this about once a year? Or maybe every other year. Anyway, I've uploaded the only Spike/Buffy/Angel vid I've ever found:
Ours by Jr Miss Tough Chick (wmv format, 25.2 MB)
I still love it to pieces, and the parallels are just gorgeous - it truly is a fitting tribute to this most delightful of OT3s. Basically, if you love any pairing within this, do yourself a favour and watch! (Yes, I am absolutely trying to convert everyone!) ♥

Moar fun politics.
10 Dec 2011 11:27 amI want to shake Herman Cain's speech writer's hand.
This one's not quite safe for work... But it IS funny!

8 Dec 2011 08:43 pmBrilliant and delightful Master vid:
Written in the Stars byheretherebefic
Yes, that is the Tinie Tempah song. And yes it is beyond perfect. Plus it's got lots of clips from Old!Who... Just go watch it, OK? ♥

Good busy.
3 Dec 2011 10:21 pm'Twas Darcy's birthday today. Have been out most of the day, but had a very good time. Went to see Hugo (in 3D - I'm beginning to see the point, it was definitely worth it), which was very lovely indeed. And very Doctor Who in its message, which was basically about the importance of dreams and magic. Oh and the ending was TOTALLY “Nothing is ever forgotten, not completely. And if something can be remembered, it can come back...” <3
We also [bought and] played Rapidough, which I can wholeheartedly recommend. If you're stuck for a Christmas gift the whole family can enjoy, this is the thing for you - so much fun!
