Fic writing...

[elisi]

I did a which ao3 tag are you? quiz (basically about which kind of writer you are) and, um, it was entirely too accurate...

crack treated seriously
a certified silly goose, you wish everyone could chill out and find some fucking whimsy!

(I mean, 'crack treated seriously' is probably the best summary of What If God Was One of Us? that I have come across...)

~

Speaking of fic, I posted the penultimate chapter of All Breakages Must Be Paid For:

Chapter 24: The Killer in Me

Only the Epilogue still to go!

And tonight there's new Doctor Who! \o/ I mean, I know it's already out, but I will watch when it is broadcast. So I am basically staying away from the internet until then. :)

(Also, in lieu of watching Eurovision & live posting, I will try to post some Palestinian music.<3)

ETA: Meant to share this delight:

The Doctor's BBC One Ident Interruption

Watch on YouTube

ETA2: Did I share this? It's an interview from Newround with Ncuti and Millie and it's adorable:

Doctor Who cast interview: 'Ncuti and Millie make it a whole new show'

(Also they're both Matt Smith fans, so they clearly have great taste. *g*)

I got:

fix-it

you don't have time for this 'making your barbies kiss' bullshit; the world is fucked, and you're here to do something about it! (the thing you're doing about it is making your barbies kiss)

Ironically I don't think I've ever written literal fix-it, but I won't deny the energy is there.

I maintain that the results are fundamentally flawed though because I was forced to choose between semi-colon, ellipsis, and parentheses as my most abused form of punctuation, and we both know the correct answer there is all of them.

I do not understand you some times.

Yeah, I can see it. Also not all my fic is crack, but the result really is worryingly accurate.

THIS. I chose parentheses, because... me, but I wanted MORE.

Doctor Who is a family show that we watch as a family.

They all kind of have the soul of crack about them. If you can turn it into everybody in the TARDIS, you will.

Me, I am absolutely ready to tell the show it's wrong about itself. ETA: and yet I am canon's bitch. Perhaps why I am so insistent about canon needing to be right.

THIS. I chose parentheses, because... me, but I wanted MORE.
I went ellipses, but it hurt my soul. The only one I'm comfortable leaving behind is the dash. I think I use dashes a pretty normal amount, all things considered.

The answer here is the break out the sugary cereal and watch it Saturday morning cartoons-style.

It's weird being the first one to get Doctor Who /o\ I'm used to having to wait in anguished anticipation while I refresh the torrent sites and everybody else squees on Tumblr.

'The soul of crack'. That's brilliant, I should add that tag to all my fics.

If you can turn it into everybody in the TARDIS, you will.
... yeah.

This made me guffaw out loud.

Same? idk what a normal amount of dashes is.

The answer here is the break out the sugary cereal and watch it Saturday morning cartoons-style.
I can see it, but... FAMILY. I mean, I literally began watching it because it came back when the kids were little and I knew nothing about it, except that it was beloved family tv show that was now back. So we should try it. (I knew TARDIS, Daleks, teeth-and-curls-and scarf.)

Yeah I'm hiding. But also posting fic so... keeping busy.

ETA: Watch the silly little video I posted. It's only 17 seconds, but utterly delightful. It's TERRIBLY Doctor-y.

[sea_thoughts]

Chill out and find some fucking whimsy is not a bad motto.

[elisi]

Yeah, I like it. ^_^

[sea_thoughts]

I got 'alternate universe': you're not a delusional escapist; you're a creative, an innovator! you have been shown a world of possibilities via divine vision

[elisi]

Ooooh, fascinating! This seems like such a good quiz. :D

[sea_thoughts]

I do like an alternate universe but of the variety where just one or two things are different to see how that impacts characters/story. I don't want it to be completely different.

[elisi]

Tbf a huge chunk of my output is AU, so that one could also fit me...

[gillo]

consensual but not safe or sane

you're a little bit feral, but that's okay—you weren't socialised as a puppy. it's not your fault. you mean well!

And I twitch when capital letters and punctuation are missing!

Still processing the Doctor. Some typical RTD moments and some "let's show off all that Disney cash" moments. Jury still out, I think.

[elisi]

It's fascinating to see the different results!

And I twitch when capital letters and punctuation are missing!
It's a stylistic choice, and we have to live and let live.

Bit... manic. But it was perfectly fun, so that's the main thing.

[ragnarok_08]

I got:

slow burn
loyal, organised and patient, you don't need instant gratification... but it is coming eventually, right? ... right???

That sums me up too well.

Oooh. I like it when stupid quizzes are too accurate. ^_^
