prof_pangaeaso i've been meaning to make this post for about a week or so, but life kept intruding. and frankly i wanted my mind on it properly, so i could express the depth of my gratitude. sadly, i have realised that i probably don't have the vocabulary for that, but here is me giving it a go.
so![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cesario called me up a couple weeks ago and told me about her and lizbee's fundraiser plan for me. and then, as predicted, i cried like a wee baby. she only laughed at me a little. but really, this gesture came at a time when life has been hard, financially and personally, and to have so many people come together and offer me a helping hand really just... it means more to me than i can say. some of you know about some of the personal stuff that's been going on these past few months. past year or so, really. being poor and tendonitis and losing my job, and the general difficulty and expensiveness of transitioning and losing the guy that i loved because of it. anyway, the non-detailed story is i've really needed friends, and i feel so privileged to have you all.
so this money you all donated is going to rent, and food, and much-needed health-related things like bloodtests and medication. thank you all so much, especially since i know a lot of you aren't exactly flush at the moment either.
i blurred the names for internet purposes but you can probably deduce where you are on the list given the length of your name and the amount given. also there are a few of you on there who i don't know, and i want to thank you too, for hearing i was in need and throwing in a few dollars. fandom is a pretty great thing.
you've got my everlasting love.

Date: 2008-10-31 08:55 pm (UTC)meanwhile, i have been working this past month for a non-profit, trying to get obama elected, and that's been rewarding and excellent, although it ruined my knee again with all the walking. i'll be driving people around for the last four days before the election, though, so hopefully that'll give it time to heal up again. WHY ARE MY TENDONS SUCH DELICATE FLOWERS, EH?

Date: 2008-11-03 03:24 pm (UTC)by the way, i haven't forgotten about the beta for the nate story -- i've just been quite busy, and haven't got a chance to sit down and really focus on it. i'll have some free time after the election, though!

Date: 2008-11-10 04:02 pm (UTC)No, problem! I figured you were busy. :)
I'm actually thinking of cannibalizing it for another fic I'm writing since I used some of the ideas in it already in the 'Ardor in Binary' fic I wrote recently. I've been reading the

Date: 2008-11-11 07:36 pm (UTC)one thing i was going to say about your fic was that i think it would make much more sense for nate to go in search of donna, if he was going to look for anyone -- and to maybe find martha during that search. still the person he needed without ever knowing beforehand, but nate is ready to acknowledge that, as opposed to the doctor. i have more thoughts, should i just do my full beta, or have you already started writing your new AU?
maybe also sometime we could have nate collaboration? i have been wanting to do something like that for ages, since i read

Date: 2008-11-13 12:47 pm (UTC)It is so addictive, isn't it?
i would love an AU where nate ended up in this universe instead of the alt and ended up travelling with the doctor, or working for UNIT with martha!
Oh, me too! Definitely. :)
i am less keen on the ten and rose travelling while dropping nate off somewhere else because they can't be bothered with him part, just because it seems like backsliding that makes both characters look like immature gits (and JE doesn't exactly do much to not support this possible take on the characters, but what the heck, i don't want to go around writing fanfiction that annoys me).
I agree, though I do think it is an interesting direction nonetheless. I like when fanfic plays around with canon, myself (even if I am not personally pleased at the result), because I think fanfic is a great forum for trying out what-if situations.

You mean in the "Second Best" fic set in the alt!verse? Yes, I could definitely see him searching for Donna as well. I think the one reason I didn't follow that thread was that I always feel a bit uncomfortable writing Donna. It is like I can't always hear her voice. I know I am not perfect with Martha either, but at least with her she is sort of a security blanket. I'll have to see, I might be able to make it work with Donna though.
i have more thoughts, should i just do my full beta, or have you already started writing your new AU?
I've only written a few words of the AU story, so I am definitely open to you beta-ing the above story if you are interested. I haven't written much recently, unfortunately, as I seem to be in a bit of a creative lull of writer's block at the moment, but I am hoping that will pass very soon.

I've never done a collaborative work, but I would certainly be up for giving it a go. :)
i have the sad feeling that embarassingly high percentage of the nate content on the anonmeme is me and you anyway.
Yeah, probably. *chuckle* Though I have to admit I was quite surprised, yet happy to see someone had restarted the Handy recs (was that you?).
I have been slowly trying to convert my friend's list to loving Handy, so I like that more and more stories are being rec'ed (now I just have to get around to updating the masterlist over at

Date: 2008-11-16 07:02 pm (UTC)i love that! but what i don't love is characters never, ever learning from their mistakes, and that's the only way i can seem to interpret the doctor and rose putting each other over everyone else. plus nate is the only other person in the entire universe who knows anything about gallifrey, about the doctor. i can see the doctor being a coward and leaving him in another universe, so he never has to deal with that. but if he's in the same universe as the doctor... i don't think the doctor wouldn't actually care about him. he would just be crap at it.
Though I have to admit I was quite surprised, yet happy to see someone had restarted the Handy recs (was that you?).
i may have restarted it on the previous page, but the most recent iteration was someone else. A MYSTERY. i possibly contributed a few of the recs, though. ¬___¬
