You know, if anyone had pitched Fraser/Kowalski to me as "imagine a hilarious Eight/Fitz AU with MOUNTIES!" I would've watched the last two seasons of due South a lot sooner.

( Spoilers for the series finale - not that I've watched the whole thing yet, I started off out of order )

I like this meme.

Ask me anything: all types of fannish opinions, good, bad, and ugly. I'm screening all comments so ask me anything fannish-related and I'll answer (in a separate post) with complete honesty. Any TV show/book/movie that you're pretty sure I've mentioned in the past is fair game, as are thoughts on general themes and trends in fandom/fiction, lists of loved/hated characters, thoughts on ships, whatever. Comments are screened so you can ask whatever you want without being "revealed." If you don't care about being revealed you can let me know.

Current fandoms/things I'm watching are Doctor Who, Merlin, Big Bang Theory, 30 Rock, IT Crowd, Buffyverse (I'm half-following season 8), Discworld, trashy regency romances, anything else you think I've seen.

Am hosting a women of Doctor Who celebration post on the brilliant halfamoon comm. \o/

whoadventures, for fic and discussion about adventures in the Doctor Who universe. Because I don't think it's possible to have too many stories with robots and space pirates. All eras, characters, pairings welcome.

Also, I got an awesome haul at fandom_stocking, you guys. Check it out - my icon's from an amazing Uther/Morgana artwork vandonovan did.

To my Yuletide Santa:

First off, a double apology: sorry for the lateness of this letter (I completely changed my sign up at the very last minute and until I got my hands on the computer with my sign-up email I wasn't 100% sure what my requests were) and sorry for any general incoherence in the requests themselves. As I say, last minute change, very late at night...

Anyway, thanks so much for volunteering to write in my fandoms! I'm hugely excited about the prospect for fic in any of these and I know I'll be delighted with whatever you come up with. My general likes and dislikes: I love humour, fics expanding on bits of canon, zany schemes, comedic misunderstandings, ensembles, dialogue, characters sounding like themselves, AUs where the canon branches off in a different direction, happy or at least hopeful endings; I love gen, het, slash, femslash, threesomes; I'm not all that fond of PWPs, and I really dislike non-con and character or ship bashing, even of characters I personally dislike.

I'd always assumed tales of the incredibly short notice given to PhD students in my department was apocryphal, but I've just been told that my confirmation viva (the meeting that decides whether I get to stay on as a PhD) requires me to submit a literature review and a journal paper within the next week. I've written a literature review but it needs significantly overhauled; the journal paper doesn't exist at all, as I've never written one. My supervisor's not in the country. Fuck. (Comments off as I need to get off the internet...)

Many moons ago I ran buffyverse1000, a slightly mad project to get people to write 1000 different pairings in the Buffyverse. Now settiai's running a Doctor Who/Torchwood/SJA version: whoniverse1000. This makes me squee delightedly, so if you share my desire to pair everyone ever up in the Doctor Who universe (including the super-obscure one-off characters from the books and audios and comics), go and check it out.

Two fics from me, both short comedy stuff (I WAS SHOCKED TOO):

Title: Domestic Goddess
Characters: Gwen/Rhys, Ianto, Tosh (briefly)
Rating: PG
Notes: For prettyquotable for the Gwen ficathon: request was ‘Gwen/Rhys post-wedding. Gwen tries to cook lasagna for Rhys but fails miserably.’
Summary: Cooking, in theory, sounds simpler than crazed shapeshifting vampire aliens. In theory.

Title: Beware the Jabberwock
Characters: Fitz, Eight, Compassion
Rating: PG-13
Notes: For kseda who wanted an exciting, cracky adventure with lizards. She didn't specify silly or plotless, but I took it as read...
Summary: Fitz and the Doctor ponder elephants, alien megafauna and whether Wuthering Heights might be improved by some enormous lizard action.

I set this up ages ago but only remembered today I never finished and unlocked it - Classic Doctor Who episodes love meme. Go. Squee.

*scurries back to thesis*

Authors are live on remixredux08: my probably entirely obvious entry is below. I was really lucky in who I was assigned; there were loads of booster17's fics I loved and I spent ages going back on forth on which one to write, finally rejecting the Rose/Jake/Mickey pr0n and the Jack/Gwen shag or die because I couldn't think of any sort of twist on them, and the Sarah one because I wasn't sure if the original writer had seen Sarah Jane Adventures, and I thought making a fic into a different fandom might be a bit off. So, I picked the one with Dawn and Jack, because I really really like the thought of Dawn meeting Nine, Rose and Jack.

Title: The Great Bikini Incident (The Key to Time Remix)
Author: doyle_sb4
Summary: Dawn’s suspicious of the three electricity inspectors outside her sister’s Rome apartment.
Fandom: Buffy/Doctor Who
Characters: Dawn, Nine, Rose, Jack
Rating: G
