Happy Birthday Doctor Who

[elisi]

Via thisbluespirit an awesome tribute vid that I hadn't seen before:

"Doctor Who | The Doctor Tribute | 1963 - 2017 (Hartnell to Whittaker)" (Watch on YouTube)

And also the new trailer, which looks... not bad! *crosses fingers*

"Doctor Who Series 12 Trailer - BBC" (Watch on YouTube)

finally got around to watching that vid & it is lovely :)

[elisi]

It was literally the ONLY part of Children in Need that I saw... But it was worth it. Also - hi! *waves* Christmas eating you alive also?

[juliet]

More the e*e*tion tbh (plus a bunch of Life Stuff) but at least there's only 4 more days of that. (After which I may be able to get my Yuletide fic finished on time...) Hello! *waves*

[elisi]

The e*e*tion is... I don't have words. And I can't even vote. :(

(The worst thing is this tiny glimmer of hope. But living in the wake of Trump & Brexit hope is a luxury that I don't really dare to entertain.)

Anyway, happy writing! Am still trying to work on my GO fic, but time is scarce. Wishing you good luck with your writing.

I've been doing some doorstep-bashing, which doesn't *entirely* help the mental state, gotta be honest, but there we go. And HOO BOY YES I hear you re the ability to entertain hope.

I just realised that Yuletide 1st draft is due on the 18th (having been thinking about it as the 24th), whoops. IT WILL BE FINE.

Oooh go you!! I'm in a safe Labour seat (well it always has been, and being in the heart of Yorkshire I can't see it changing), or I might have been out there too. Anyway, some places the difference in times past has been a mere handful of votes, so here's to hoping.

And HOO BOY YES I hear you re the ability to entertain hope.
When the light at the end of the tunnel keeps being a train, it's hard not to expect to get run over yet again.

OF COURSE IT WILL! (Your writing is awesome, so yes.)

[juliet]

Yeah -- my seat's probably safe Labour (& if not it'll go LD), so I've been out in Kensington which Labour won by 20 votes last time...Thumbs crossed we hold it!

(Your writing is awesome, so yes.)
aww thank you :)

[elisi]

I was thinking about Kensington & the 20 votes! I'm crossing fingers & toes and everything else.

aww thank you :)
Tis only the truth.

ETA: My constituency went Tory for the 1st time since 1931. Imma gonna go with the Get Really Drunk option tonight, I think. Talk about mammals and brains or something.

[juliet]

oh fucking hell.

hope the booze helped. I did the other thing and avoided drinking, until last night when both partners & partner's gf were round and we all had pizza and wine and shouted a lot in an emotionally useful way.

but still fuck fuck fuck.

[elisi]

To be fair, I'm in the middle of Leave Country and our MP was solidly Remain, and since this election turned out to be All About Brexit, I can see how it makes sense.

Still. :(

(I want to watch all the angry leftist Doctor Who. The Sun Makers. The Happiness Patrol. The Beast Below. Oxygen.)

Alcohol is nice, but doesn't solve anything. Am currently burying myself in writing fic.

[juliet]

Writing fic is good. (I need to do that! Yuletide deadline accelerating rapidly towards me...)

[elisi]

*pets Thirteen and Crowley and Aziraphale and Gabriel and Michael and Lucifer and the boys*

ETA: Happy writing to you too!

[juliet]

ooooh yay! more of That One! :D

[elisi]

It's going VERY WELL.

(In between all the Christmas stuff)
