First Thing:

I'm proud to pimp a new community: tardis_view. Evil genius eponymous_rose described it perfectly in our userinfo, so think I'll quote her here rather than force y'all to suffer my ramblings:

Do you ever get that itch to travel, to see all the little, everyday things that happen half a world away? Want a chance to get a guided tour of Paris from someone who's lived there forever? How about a small town out in the middle of nowhere, USA? Want to visit the countries your flist inhabits, without having to wait in neverending queues or pay a fortune? This is your chance.

Doctor Who fans live all over the planet - why not set up our own TARDIS?

It is truly a brilliant idea, and I'm very happy to be one of the mods. Above all Doctor Who celebrates a love of adventure, of the amazing things we can see in the world outside our front door. And we may not have a timeship, but we have this -- a global fandom who appreciates the incredible things we can find in the most unexpected places. I hope you guys will head over there and check it out.

(Ha. I said I wasn't going to ramble and then I did. I am so unpredictable.)

Second Thing:

I have a fic up for auction over at livelongnmarry. It goes something like this: you bid, you win, you donate the amount you bid to a charity of your choice that promotes marriage equality (Equality for All, Marriage Equality USA, etc.), and you tell me what sort of fic you want. Then a fic you shall have! It's a terribly worthy cause, so take a look at all the wonderful things up for auction.

(I'm pretty much up for anything as far as the prompts are concerned, but please, if you love me -- no Doctor/Jack. Doctor/Jack makes me twitch. All other pairings are okie dokie.

Well. Mostly.)

Title: Of Monsters

Rating: Teen

Spoilers: Through series three.

Notes: I wanted to do something festive in honor of today's excitement, so here's a tiny snippet of the next story in the Amor Mundi series - the follow up to Do I Twist, Do I Fold and Good Night. I'll start posting the story in earnest when it's complete, but here's how it begins:

Title: Humans

Characters: The cast of Midnight - excepting, that is, the Doctor and Donna.

Rating: All Ages.

Spoilers: Absolutely SHOCKING spoilers for ep 4.10, Midnight.

Summary: Six people, six stories, six seconds. Six voices, and the evil that men do.

Title: A Little Healthy Competition

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith.

Rating: Teen-ish.

Spoilers: Series two, baby.

Summary: "A little healthy competition never hurt anyone." The Doctor and Mickey have a disagreement. Rose is unamused. Set between The Girl in the Fireplace and The Rise of the Cybermen.

Title: The Boy Who Killed Time (The Last Love Song Remix)

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Martha Jones, others.

Rating: All Ages.

Spoilers: Through Series Three episode The Lazarus Experiment. Includes Classic Series.

Summary: There are ghosts in the TARDIS, and music in the corridors.

Beta: The phenomenally talented eponymous_rose, who has been my Classic Who Zen Master these many months. She rocks it old school and new.

A/N: My submission to remixredux08. This is a remix of netgirl_y2k's chillingly beautiful The Boy Who Killed Time.

For my convenience and yours, here there be a masterlist of fic old and new. Isn't it shiny?

remixredux08 has been unveiled, and Days and Hours was my remixer's fic of choice! So head on over, if the spirit should so move you, and check out "Days and Hours" (Years and Seconds Remix) and take a look through the plethora of fics (in Doctor Who and many, many other fandoms) and see all the yummy ficness that there is to see!

(And if you should guess which one is mine, I shall give you a hypothetical cookie.)

ETA: The Years and Seconds Remix does include some S4 casting spoilers. Sorry!

Title: The Doctor Complex

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler

Rating: This fic is rated S, for Sacrilege. (Secularly speaking, it's All Ages.)

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Spoilers: That series four casting spoiler. Also, Testaments both Old and Slightly Less Old.

Summary: "Maybe the question you should be asking yourself is this: Is he a doctor with a god complex, or a god with a doctor complex?" A loving, rather farcical take on certain pervasive New Who themes.

A/N: I'm easily amused. That is my only excuse. (And yes, that is a free will/predestination gag at the end. I crack myself up, I do.)

Title: Landing

Characters: Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, Pete and Jackie Tyler

Rating: Teen

Disclaimer: Strictly speaking, they don't not not belong to me.

Spoilers: Doomsday

Summary: "The funny thing about beginnings, you see, is that they're practically indistinguishable from endings." Rose Tyler, after the fall. A companion to the pre-series fic Sitting.

Author's Notes: You know what I'd never tried before? A mega-angsty Doomsday fic. I think this just about got it out of my system.

Title: Possibilities, or : How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bananas

Characters: Rose Tyler, Mickey Smith, Jake Simmonds, Pete Tyler, Jackie Tyler, Original Character Tyler, and a large number of bananas.

Rating: Teen

Disclaimer: None of these good people belong to me.

Beta: The unparalleled jlrpuck, who is entirely to blame. For everything.

Spoilers: Doomsday and naught else.

Summary: Rose Tyler lives the life fantastic, her feet on the ground and her head in the stars. A Pete's World fic. With bananas.

Author's Note: As jlrpuck reminded me this morning, it's been eight months since we entered into a small wager, the terms of which were as follows: A Moonstruck mocha--or a ficlet--says you can't write a fic of moderate length, centered around a banana, that is completely innuendo free. Eight months or no, the second half of the fic is still not quite complete. Yet I have decided - against my better judgment, oh yes - to post this first chapter as a public declaration of my commitment to its speedy completion.

Also, I can't think of a more appropriate day than April Fool's to share this bit of strangeness.

In fiction, self-insertion is generally considered something of a no-no, and deservedly so. (Though some bastards seem to get away with it without any complaints. Yeah, I'm lookin' at you, Dante.) But are we missing exciting opportunities of genuine self-discovery and satirical silliness by conforming to the dictums of the fandom establishment? I say we are. I say we rebel, brothers and sisters! I say that everyone inspired to do so should write a ficlet (or a blog entry) detailing their very own encounters with the alien, man-type mysterioso we call the Doctor.

What sort of companion would you be? Indeed, would you become a companion at all? And if you did find yourself traveling with him, whether by choice or necessity or accident, how would you leave him in the end?

Call it the How I Met the Doctor Meme. Any Doctor, any era. If in fic format, it can be from your point of view, or the Doctor's, or that of a canon companion along for the ride. The companions often serve as our ambassadors to the universe the Doctor travels, our stand-ins in his adventures, and the companions we relate to most strongly are often very telling of our own personalities. But let's get rid of the middleman - if you were offered the temptations of a life at large in the universe, of the dangers and beauties and responsibilities you'd find behind the doors of that blue box, what would you choose?

Title: Mirrors

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Rose

Rating: All Ages

Disclaimer: They belong to someone who is certainly not me.

Spoilers: Series Two

Summary: "Who would I be, do you think, if I hadn't met you?"  Reflections, makeup, and mirrors.

Title: Stuck on You

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler

Rating: All Ages

Warnings: For immature humor and other grossness.

Disclaimer: Nothing you see belongs to me.

Spoilers: None

Summary: "I'm gonna stick like glue - stick, because I'm stuck on you." -- Elvis Presley, Stuck on You. The Doctor and Rose have an adventure in adhesives.

A/N: This past week's doctor_rose_las entry, now with an all-new ending! Oh, the suspense...

A recent conversation with the_sandwalker got me thinking about some of my favorite character moments from the new series. Unfortunately, this picspam was the result.

Title: Tall Tales

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Mickey Smith, Rose Tyler

Rating: All Ages

Disclaimer: Nothing you see belongs to me.

Spoilers: Series Two.

Summary: A bit of friendly conversation just before The Rise of the Cybermen.

Title: Heights

Characters: Tenth Doctor, Rose

Rating: PG

Disclaimer: Mine, they are not.

Spoilers: None to speak of.

Summary: "Ooh, that's high. That's very...blimey, that's high." -- The Doctor, Evolution of the Daleks.

Notes: My entry for last week's round of fics at doctor_rose_las. The prompt was 'phobia'.

 

Sorry for deluging your flist - this thing is just really flippin' long.
