I am off to the remote wilderness of beautiful British Columbia for the next five days. It is going to be Most Excellent.

I leave you with ~400 words of Doctor/Master creepiness.

Notes: A great many thanks are due to the fabulous elynross, for helping create some sort of order out of the chaos.

Any and all comments/concrit would be greatly appreciated.

Done! Done meetings, done school, done reports. I have no responsibilities for the next week and a half. Except for work, of course. And looking for a summer job. And I some how managed to get myself put on a task force and another committee, but those don't kick in until after next term starts.

I was doing my year-end fic roundup, and I realized that I haven't done or said anything fannish since August. Um, oops? It certain explains the mass defriendings. I will try my best to less boring from now on.

Year-end fic roundup: Alphabetically by fandom, with bonus (brief) commentary.

There are always casualties.

This weekend, there was a little thing called con.txt. For those DS fen not there, there was also out_of_con_txt, a lovely little ficlet and icon exchange. I wrote two short pieces for it:

Trav'ler in the Dark for sprat. It's not that complicated. F/K, PG.

Delusions of Adequacy for lozenger8. Dief gen.


Hi, DS people! I'm not always talking about Who these days, I swear.

So, does anyone remember those ficlets I promised to write back before I hit that nasty snag of exams? No? Well, you're getting them anyway, so I hope those that remember are still interested. *G*

For kiarasayre, who wanted Captain Jack.

Title: Day Jobs

Spoilers: The Parting of the Ways

This is my much belated entry for picfor1000. Many thanks to gurrier and _bounce_, for beta. Image is behind the cut. Het/Slash.




( Next Year )

I was giving my site a bit of a face lift the other day -- just adding a few more sections and changing the banners, as it only had sections for Due South, X-Men, and Alias. Everything else was just shoved into Misc.

So, while I was doing this, I got to wondering about my story stats. I have been at this something like five years, after all. (Which, in and of itself, OMFG. I left newbie land behind a long time ago.)

It turns out I've written 59* stories in 20 fandoms. But that's not the meat of the matter. What's important is that ( I made venn diagrams and a pie chart. )



* That is kind of a depressingly small number of stories when considered over a five year time span, but in my own defense, one was thirteen chapters. Also, I was 15. (Yeah. I'm getting on towards being a random fandom dinosaur.)
** Hey, "I'm an engineering student" is an excuse that gets you forgiven for all sorts of personality quirks and social disorders. Might as well get my mileage out of it.

Bring Out Your Dead

Jack Harkness in the aftermath of the Game Station. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Doctor Who. Spoilers through "The Parting of the Ways." Thanks to _bounce_ for beta. 14A.
