saw the rifftrax "the five doctors" live show last night with a couple friends. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS EXPERIENCE. :D
one more random thought: there was so much interesting potential in this past series of doctor who to compare the two orphans who wanted to go to school, didn't think they'd be able to, but made it despite the odds (and then end up running away to go be gay married in space to their own spaceships) so WHERE IS ALL MY META AND FIC HUH??
thankfully i have some ideas for at least one story but fandom, you're really letting me down here.

so psyched for bill. so psyched for queerness in doctor who. so psyched for black excellence in doctor who. so psyched for twelve’s incredibly sexy hair.
so psyched. :D
so psyched. :D
drive-by fandom thoughts
Oct. 30th, 2016 02:29 pmhave not seen the most recent episode of "class" but have seen the first two. day drinker twelve was amazing. the show itself seems fine - well-done YA genre that I would have loved as a teen and that i am currently liking well-enough but without the doctor who element it would probably be one of those shows i'd keep meaning to get to while it spent years on my netflix queue. however, i would like to thank the producers for the frequent shots of topless ram.
back to pcap: he is very gorgeous and twelve and bill look amazing together??? i am SO looking forward to their episodes, and also looking forward to some more interesting people maybe getting involved with fandom again once there's some space for people who aren't interested in ignoring every character who isn't white. despite the fact that i did ship it (until it was ruined for me, first by fandom, then kind of by the show) whouffaldi fandom VERY quickly turned into an unwelcoming, unfun place. i don't derive pleasure from aggressively calling out shittiness, racism, and general badfic (SO MCUH BADFIC OMGGGGG) so i basically just withdrew from fandom aside from old friends and a couple of new ones even though i was actually enjoying doctor who more than i have in a long time.
I LOVE TWELVE. i love him. that is all for now.

Feb. 16th, 2016 01:46 pmback from gally. feelin' the urge to do a con write up like i used to, but i've fallen from the habit of taking notes every panel (and also of... going to every panel). but i'll get something up. ^__^
oh, and i know i've been terrible at posting despite my best intentions -- job has been keeping me sooo busy (it's fucking 6:20 am and i've been hearing emails buzzing from my phone for the past half an hour, whyyyyy), but since i haven't mentioned it here, i would just like to say that this past series of doctor who was really and truly incredible, is possibly the best since the show came back, and is by far my favourite since series 3 (and is probably my fav of all).
i've got all sorts of ideas for meta and for fic, it's just finding the time to write with everything else going on. i have been posting a bit on tumblr (and twitter!), but even with the insta-reblog features and whatnot i don't post nearly as much as i mean to. will continue trying to change that, though.
also: help i think i'm accidentally falling into the thick of it fandom how did this happen D:
<3s, y'all!

nonelvis about how AWESOMELY PAINFUL it would be if the doctor took the TARDIS back to before he and clara had their fight and split up, and for completely sensible and plot-related reasons they ended up having to share a bed, and all the while he is thinking, "WHAT AM I DOING WHY DO I ALWAYS MAKE THE WORST DECISIONS" (this is before we realised, no, it is clara who always makes the worst decisions, but i digress). this led to "wouldn't it be great if ten and mickey had to share a bed?" "what about leela and romana?" "WHAT ABOUT THREE AND THE BRIG?" (this is obviously canon).and then we were both like, WHAT IF THERE WAS A FIC FEST AND WE GOT ALL THE FICS WE EVER WANTED ABOUT DOCTOR WHO CHARACTERS HAVING TO SHARE A BED?
so we made a fic fest. :D
check it out! it's called

onlyonebed. prompting opened on monday, prompt claiming begins on dec. 15, and posting begins on february 1 and will go throughout the month, giving us all twenty-eight days of sharing a bed. how romantical!i already have like three different fic ideas, and given the speed with which i write i doubt i'll have them all done by february first... but i am totally going to try. (and yah, i have been writing fic, got a new one to post very soon, but as usual, it's going under the pseud). please help me make awesome fics happen by leaving amazing prompts and by spreading the word!
oh yah and we are all over the place, so please participate wherever you feel most comfy:
Livejournal
Dreamwidth
Tumblr
please somebody write ten/mickey sharing a bed, and also twelve/EVERYONE.
that awkward moment when you're reading a lulsy story about brian blessed accidentally punching peter capaldi in the face hard enough to send him to the hospital, and then get to the part where the medics wouldn't treat him at first because they thought he was "dressed in drag" cos he was still in foppish costume from filming.

i have lots more to say about deep breath and into the dalek, but no tiem for that at the moment. so instead, have some random quotes and whatnot i just found in my "restore from draft" when i opened this page up:
( random thoughts from deep breath under here )
btw capaldi is AMAZING and i have been SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED by clara having a personality, and an awesome one to boot. also, am already stockpiling supplies in preparation of becoming the only doctor/danny shipper in existence.

Mar. 14th, 2013 01:55 pmoh hell yeah, i found a piece of paper i scribbled a bit of dialogue onto when i was listening to the new fourth doctor adventures from big finish. it's from episode two, "the renaissance man":
Doctor: *mumbles some technobabble at the TARDIS console*
Leela: "You say these things to make me ask questions."
Doctor: "Well, it's the best way to learn -- I'm trying to teach you, Leela! You can't go through life never knowing what a gravitic drift compensator is for, can you? I mean, you might get stuck in a gravitic drift, and then where would you be? Apart from, in a pickle."
Leela: "So, what is a gravitic drift?"
Doctor: I don't know, but then I've never been stuck in one. I take precautions."
i would also like to point out that in another episode, leela and the master ride a horse bareback together through a time tunnel thing to try and save the doctor. IN OTHER WORDS YOU ALL SHOULD BE LISTENING TO THESE THINGS OKAY

Nov. 14th, 2011 09:00 ami had a dream last night that moffat wrote the most rubbishy, godawful script for the sherlock s2 premiere - like, it started off as a okay pastiche of SCAN with bits of SIGN thrown in, and then it degenerated into this bizarre story about symbols of femininity throughout history and all of the characters became idiots and then they found all these metaphors in a warehouse and then randomly burned it down in some kind of incredibly stupid and heavy-handed attempt at putting the history of women's oppression behind them and Moving On and oh god it was terrible.
then i woke up and i was so glad that was a dream and not the real show. instead i watched the fall premiere of doctor who and i was like WTF THIS IS ACTUALLY WORSE THAN THE FAKE SHERLOCK FROM MY BRAIN even thought it wasn't worse, because it didn't have the world's most heavy-handed symbolism in it. but it was indeed terrible. i mean, the direction was godawful. it was cheap and amateurish, and i kept thinking, "moff, what is wrong with hiring back graeme harper, he at least knows what he's doing!" but mostly it was that moff's writing was SO DULL i could barely pay attention to what was happening, and seriously, if you're going to have an episode bringing back the master AND bringing in peter davison PLAYING THE FIFTH DOCTOR along with matt smith playing eleven, and it's still shit, then you've really failed as a writer and potentially as a human being. i got into a huge debate with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
violetisblue, who was defending it, and i was like, "HOW CAN YOU LIKE THIS EPISODE?! THIS IS WORSE THAN CURSE OF THE BLACK SPOT - THAT IS HOW SHIT IT IS!!"
and then i woke up again.
i also had a dream about a polar bear trying to eat a stray cat behind my house (note: i don't live in a house or have a backyard). you'll be happy to know the cat fought off the polar bear, and that neither of them ended up in an uncharacteristically poorly written steven moffat script.

beer, fuchsia, river, cat
Oct. 2nd, 2011 09:33 pmlast night i went to a beer-tasting party held by my sister's boyfriend and his roommate. i had a lot of delicious beer, so that part was definitely a success. in fact, RIGHT AS I TYPE i'm drinking a rescued beer, "old guardian", from stone brewery. it's apparently a "barley wine style ale", which seems to mean it's delicious and has a fantastic 12% alcohol content. i approve.
i keep forgetting what normal people of approximately my age are like. i was rockin' a tweed waistcoat, a bowtie, fuchsia chucks, and a sweet pompadour, and everyone else was wearing t-shirts. well it's obviously good i was there. they needed someone to gay it up a bit.
anyway, this is all obviously a longwinded way of saying i haven't seen the doctor who finale yet. i'm planning on wtching it in a li'l while, though. this will be the first one i haven't watched with somebody since eccleston! well, i suppose i do have a kitty to watch it with. he is currently sitting on my shoulders, so he should have a good view.
<3s, everyone

FIC: A Visit to the Garden
Dec. 27th, 2010 05:18 pmTitle: A Visit to the Garden
Author: professor pangaea
Fandom: Doctor Who
Characters/Pairings: Duplicate Tenth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, TARDIS
Rating: All Ages
Spoilers: Only the obvious ones for Journey's End (and vague mention of events from Waters of Mars)
Summary: Mortality, mistakes, loneliness, loss and love. Twenty-nine years seems like a long time for all of that, and like hardly any time at all.
Notes: Thanks to my excellent as always betanonelvis, and to lizbee for looking over a draft and telling me it wasn't completely awful.
~For GR
( John stared at his dark ceiling. He had a fading impression of green light bathing him, surrounding him; of panels and crystals and plugs beneath his hands, of the TARDIS singing to him, warm and reassuring. )
as always, feedback and criticism is appreciated and cherished.

awww, she even saved you half the bag of fritos, doctor! SHE IS THE BEST GIRLFRIEND IN THE UNIVERSE.
fandom, why so many doctor/master fanvids set to mediocre muse songs when tool is out there providing music like this?
you are wasting precious, perfectly crafted materials, fandom!

journey's end in lover's meetings
Jul. 15th, 2010 09:17 pm"The Doctor and Rose, in the TARDIS, just as it should be. Except not, or I'd obviously take you with me instead of stranding you in an alternate universe against your will. Sorry, I'm a bit busy with my actual best friend Donna. Don't worry, though, we rarely have sex. Although I wish it was more often. She's quite good. Also apparently I'm married in the future? Possibly several times. I dont know, all I can say is I'm obviously going to have lots of sex with atractive redheads of varying levels of aristocracy while you're stuck here with my half-clone. He will be mouthy like Donna yet prone to straying romantically like me! Oh and also he's a genocidal maniac who must be cured with your vag. Have fun with that."
