Martha ficathon signups continue apace with a healthy 18 people so far, proving that one should never underestimate both the attraction of a laughably small wordcount and Doctor Who fandom's love of making up their own fanon (see: uni!fic, girl_doctor, fic about Shireen and Trisha, both of whom we know less about than Martha, etc).

livii and uktechgirl are giving me an unhealthy love for Harry. Though not enough to make me rewatch The Ark in Space, except for maybe the bits where the alien's made of bubble-wrap.

I got this in my email:

FRAGILE THINGS by NEIL GAIMAN:
http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780060515225/Fragile_Things/index.aspx

The distinctive storytelling genius of Neil Gaiman has been acclaimed
by writers as diverse as Norman Mailer and Stephen King. FRAGILE THINGS,
his second collection of short fiction, contains thirty previously
published pieces of short fiction ¯ stories, verse, and an American Gods
novella¯plus one new piece written especially for this volume. Guaranteed
to dazzle your senses, haunt your imagination, and move you to the
depths of your soul, FRAGILE THINGS is a gift of wonder and delight from
one of the most unique literary artists of our day.

I can't believe I hadn't heard of this. marymac, you're fired. Can't help wishing it was an Anansi Boys novella, though; I listened to the unabridged audiobook while on a temp job not so long ago and remembered why it's one of my favourite books ever. Oh, Fat Charlie, you're made of win and need to meet the Doctor.

::cheers for Harry love!:: Harry is teh shit, yo.

Writing Martha was a blast, since you could go almost anywhere. I've written Shareen too, and it was just as much fun, though especially cos there were a few tiny, tiny tidbits of info available, from the Annual and the like. It's fun filling in the aps.
