elisi: Edwin holding a tiny snowman (Coffe Ianto by imaginary_lives)

I need a holiday.

Just feeling lethargic and fed up at the moment. *sigh* So I decided that a change was needed - initially I wanted to make my layout Christmassy, but obviously the Who-fandom hides all their seasonal banners somewhere secret that I can't discover. Does anyone know of a good place? (NOT Ten/Rose. I think they're lovely, but...) Oh, and something TW would be very welcome too - I just want to make everything all red and green and rich and festive.

Actually I already have the perfect picture/banner, except it's a rather spoilery promo picture for the Christmas episodes. Well, it's only *that* casting spoiler.


What do you think? Will angry spoiler-phobes be asking for my head on a platter if I put it up? It is very, very lovely.

So to satisfy my need for change I changed my mood theme (something I've been meaning to do for ages). Not that I didn't love my late-season BtVS one, but I'd had it for *years*. And I needed some more Ianto in my life. (I might write about my feelings on knowing that there'll be a S4 of TW once I've worked out what they are...)

Anyway, in positive news, the BBC have put up an old interview (Feb. 2008), where Catherine Tate talks to David Tennant, so I shall put that on to cheer me as I sort out all the washing (deep sigh). And then it's back to the Christmas cards. Meh. As I said, I need a holiday...

ETA: Omg, that interview is one of the most fabulous things *ever*! ZERO spoilers for DW, and lots and lots of chat about anything and everything that DT has done! *is smiling now*

I saw go for it. If they don't wanna see it, they can use the view in my style feature. Your journal is for you!

If they're a DW fan, I don't know how they couldn't know.. avoid the preview at the end of Waters of Mars? I mean, I went over that preview about 10 times going... OMG, I want it to be Christmas NAO!

Stupid people over spoilers. I don't think it's a spoiler when it's in the BBC preview.

Yes! Hello! Possibly not. I found you through tthfanfic. I heart your Immortal series so much I stalked you to LJ - though I tend to do that with authors I like. Usually I'm a lurker, but... I thought I'd stick my big nose in on this one :) I friended you umm, last week I think. (totally not a big deal you didn't see. I'm used to just following authors like they're communities hehe.)


Glad you like my random thought processes. I figure if the BBC gives it away.. they want people to know. I didn't really think about the fact that there are fans not like me who'd avoid previews..

Ah rl... it is a horrible horrible phenomenon. I could get so much more done in my netlife if rl wasn't in the way. But I needs the moneys and so the rl has to exist. I know what you mean.

I may lurk, I may not lurk. To be honest... it depends on what rl throws at me :) I'll probably pop up here and there to give my two cents. I like making new friends too.

You are a very good writer. It's made me jealous. Yay sequel. Get to it nao nao nao. J/k. I know they just don't get written overnight. If overnight stories were true, my fanfics would be done.. instead of languishing in an almost abandoned state. Hell, I'd have more work done for my rl creative writing class if that were true...

Randomness is wonderful. I find life is boring if it's all normal and predictable. I like that word too. It's up there with confuzzle for me now. Randomosity!

"Just feeling lethargic and fed up at the moment. *sigh* " There must be something "catchy" in the air beside the flu, because this mood seems to be largely spread (And I'm not immune). :-)

I can't really help you with your banner but the one you've targeted is certainmy Chrismassy enough! Nice.

Lends you out a flask with some "courage" in it to help with your cards.

Pretty picture. Not really a spoiler for anyone who's kept even half an eye open.

Weird, though - for just a second I thought JM looked oddly Spiky. So to speak...

Yes, I meant the gorgeous Mr Simm, not the gorgeous Mr Marsters. THough teh blond hair does provoke a certain déja vu!

I know where to find Rose/Ten banners too, but I'm not sure otherwise. Sorry!

I love the pic. It's a leeetle spoilery, but nothing anyone who's watched the trailers (and is there anyone who would care who hasn't?) hasn't already figured out. At least that's my thought for the day, which I'm not sure you should count until the coffee finished brewing and I caffienate my brain!

I'm gonna miss DT. He showed up (to my surprise!) doing the intro on Masterpiece Theater. I've never minded before that the intros were so short!

I watched that clip back in the day. What a fun interview!

I like your Christmas banner idea. It's very festive in an OMGWTF!Apocalypse kind of way. Although I have to agree with the other commenter that for a moment I looked at it and went 'Spike? Huh?'

Also, thanks for the link the other day. The previews filled me with dorky glee, and made me long for cable. Oh well, I squee vicariously.

I do like your idea for a Christmas banner! I feel a bit silly being so careful, but I have yet to mention the Master outside a cut yet. How about a notice that anyone who is pure of casting spoilers might want to bypass your lj for a couple of weeks? Or at least use style=mine.
