This journal is semi-friends only, as fandom-related posts are unlocked, but I couldn't resist using this wonderful banner made by queenpeladon.

Please comment here if you'd like to be added.

(My penchant for alliteration may one day land me a job writing tabloid headlines.)

I'm offering four fics, of at least one hundred words, over at help_haiti. If anyone does bid, they'll probably end up longer; I said one hundred in case of approaching deadlines at that time.

The starting bid is £1, $1.62. I'm over here.

( Moments, Arbitrarily Gifted )

"Is that all you do, then?" said Apollo. "Lie in bed?"
"And watch television."
"I'm on television," said Apollo.
"You are?" said Zeus. "Have you ever been on Doctor Who?"
"No."
"Oh," said Zeus. "I like Doctor Who. He's a god too."
"I don't think he is," said Apollo.
A split second later, Apollo found himself bouncing like a tennis ball off the opposite wall of the room.
"Yes he is," said Zeus. "He's a god."
"Sorry," said Apollo from the floor. "Of course he is. I was confusing him with someone else."

Title: Indomitable (The Homo Narrans Remix)
Characters/Pairings: Della (OC), Vira, Noah - Noah/Vira implied.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1530
Summary: The Earth will burn, but the story must survive.
Notes: This is a remix of The Waiting Room World by stunt_muppet. This story contains 30th-century vocabulary, as seen in The Ark in Space. Vira claimed to have "hypoied in Classicals": I have taken this to mean 'majored' and used the word in that sense. I have also substituted 'thesis' for 'college'. Hopefully, the rest should be fairly self-explanatory. Many, many thanks to elliptic_eye, purple_bug and rodlox for beta-ing.

What's up with Google? Apparently the entire Internet has now been declared unsafe by them.

( See? )

I may or may not fail at fic. I watched The Invasion instead and was reminded to post the caps I made of the animated episode 1. I capped any shot I liked. There are 323 (I liked it lots).

( *Very* serious and in-depth review using the medium of picspam )

Finished watching The Chase with Anjilah yesterday. (Today, she declared that she missed Ian and Barbara, despite not having started The Time Meddler yet.) This is where the watching Who in order should get very interesting. I absolutely love the first two seasons, of course, but I'd seen all the stories, I was familiar with the characters, I knew their arcs. Now, unknown territory! Yay!

( Also, I would like to note that I kinda loved The Web Planet. )

So, in conclusion, there has been a re-evaluation, an about-face; I now really like The Web Planet and that is great. I am glad to own the DVD, even if I did idiotically buy it just a day or so before VAT decreased from 17.5% to 15%.

I have 13 emails marked as unread in my inbox to remind me to reply to comments. I have nothing tomorrow, whoops, today so should do that later.
