Aunts and werewolves in Wodehouse:

"The aunt to whom I alluded was my good and deserving Aunt Dahlia, not to be confused with my Aunt Agatha who eats broken bottles and is strongly suspected of turning into a werewolf at the time of the full moon. Aunt Dahlia is as good a sort as ever said "tally ho" to a fox, which she frequently did in her younger days when out with the Quorn or Pytchley. If she ever turned into a werewolf, it would be one of those jolly, breezy werewolves whom it is a pleasure to know."

*dies a thousand deaths* Bertie's aunts are werewolves! Canon! *needs crossover fic now*

I'm adding entries to the Drabblethon masterlist as they come in. My own two: Fred/Tara (floating) and Two Things That Never Happened to Cordelia Chase.

I have in my greedy paws three shiny Doctor Who DVDs.

...I think it's safe to say at this point that I definitely have a new fandom, isn't it? (Not that my heart doesn't still belong first and foremost to the Buffyverse.) Coming into a fandom with, what, about 160 stories - not episodes, full arcs - and a bazillion books and short stories is a wee bit intimidating, though I am remembering that I caught up on six seasons of Buffy and three of Angel in two months.

I got Spearhead from Space (because it has the Autons and UNIT), Ghost Light (because I haven't seen any 7th Doctor yet and I like the cover - lo, I am predictable in my shallowness), and The Three Doctors (it has a Blue Peter featurette and I'm hoping to find out how to make a Tardis cake for my Dalek cakes to exterminate).

For some reason, even though the First Doctor's my least favourite of them so far, those are the episodes I really want to see more of; I think it's because I love seeing the stuff that was done back in the 60s, presumably on a micro-budget. I love the naffness, but there are bits that make me go 'oooh' - there's a particular shot in Dalek Invasion of Earth that I need to screencap because it's gorgeous. I've read a synopsis of one where they're on a planet of giants and I'm dying to see how that was done.

Also, Ian and Barbara were shagging like weasels in the back of the Tardis.
