Outpost Gallifrey is such a gigantic timesuck. Where have the last four hours disappeared to? Vanished in a flood of wank, obsessive continuity, people throwing strops over things that happened, didn't happen and may or may not one day happen, and gratuitous Adam Rickett references. I love it and hate it both and it consumes me.

Random DW and Torchwood stuff:
- I rewatched The Christmas Invasion on BBC3 and was reminded that I really loved Ten/Rose in that episode, confirming that Tooth and Claw killed the ship for me, killed it dead, then the bitchiness to Mickey at the end of School Reunion set fire to the remains. But I could so go for Ten/Rose/Mickey fic. Or AUs! I'm in a very AU mood. I'd like to see one where he doesn't come back to make the second offer in Rose and she goes on as Donna did, her outlook on life improved by meeting him, and a few years down the road when she's all but forgotten it Ten turns up with Jack/Lynda/Ida/Martha in tow. And then it all goes Rose/Mickey/[Martha or Lynda or Jack or whoever]. I'd like that.

- of course, I'd also like fic where Donna's honeymoon (she might as well go on it, she's paid for it) is interrupted by aliens. Really rubbish ones. Like an army of Quarks, or the return of the Kandyman. And she and Ten meet again and make with the snark and the shagging

- I've seen that "Top ten canon source moments" meme going round and am trying to do a list of the greatest and most cracktastic Doctor Who stories. Except even limiting it strictly to the TV series, I'm having trouble getting it down to ten. This is the problem when your canon has giant maggots, plasticine dinosaurs, trips to the Land of Fiction, a monster made of liquorice allsorts, and attacks by evil trees/seaweed/giant lobsters/jelly monsters/shop window dummies/troll dolls/rocks.
