Because I'm bored while my other is sitting an exam and, on the lovely wendymr's prompting...

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

DW Masterlist

I'd have to find my L&C masterlist if anyone were interested in that...

It's finally happened. I'm watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (at my mother's request) and I'm sitting here thinking 'But that's not how it goes!'

You win.

Stop! Don't call the police! Put down the gun, please, surely you remember me...

Heh. Been a while, eh? *g* How is everyone? I'm doing well... Nothing really to report, just wanted to say hello. *g*

Because I was tagged...

2009-09-30T08:24:40Z

1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth? Lemonade. *g*

2. Where was your profile picture taken? Erm... I'm guessing, somewhere in Cardiff. ;)

3. Can you play Guitar Hero? Yes. No, not very well...

4. Name someone who made you laugh today? L, one of the girls I work with. She laughed at one of my jokes, which made me nervous - because nobody laughs at my jokes - so I laughed too.

5. How late did you stay up last night and why? Shut up! Who've you been talking to? I demand a refund! You can't handle the truth! 9.16pm. Yes, I'm embarrassed. I fell asleep on the keyboard.

6. If you could move somewhere else, would you? Yes. No. I don't know. I love Sydney, but... it'd be an experience. Suppose I would if I knew I could come home again.

7. Ever been kissed under fireworks? Nope.

8. Which of your friends lives closest to you? In terms of location, or state of mind? *g*

9. Do you believe ex's can be friends? No.

10. How do you feel about Dr Pepper? Tastes like cola with a a generous helping of cough medicine. Blegh.

13. Who was the last person you took a picture of? My sister - she turned 21 yesterday.

14. Was yesterday better than today? Oh hell no... I actually had work to do today.

18. Are you a bad influence? ... I'd like to say yes, but... no. I'm the one who's back 20 minutes before my break's over, who stays sober at parties... I'm a 50 year old trapped in a 25 year old's body.

19. Night out or night in? Night out.

20. What item could you not go without during the day? My... phone. Who am I kidding? We both knew my answer would be the same.

21. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital? I work in a hospital.

22. What does the last text message in your inbox say? Oh god, I am craving chocolate. I shouldn't be, but... mmm. And yes, it was rather. It's true, though. :)

28. What song is stuck in your head? 'You Are The Music in Me'

29. Someone knocks on your window at 2:00 a.m., who do you want it to be? Someone fast - because, try as I might, I don't actually want to kill anybody, even if they do wake me up...

30. Wanna have grand kids by the time you're 50? No.

31. Name something you have to do tomorrow? Shave.

32. Do you think too much or too little? Thinking is for the weak, dawg!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is that.

Fic Request

2009-05-11T11:30:15Z

Okay... I know there are Trekkies on my flist. So... um... where can I find the fic? Heh.

I just saw the movie, and... more? Please?

Just... new stuff only? I like the alternate universe the movie just established. If I decide to go back and watch the older stuff, which I might, if I'm honest, then I'm sure I'll ask for more. *g* Oh, and, you know, no slash. *g* In fact, if you can point me towards gen!fic, you'll get bonus points. *g*

Abortion laws allowed devil to destroy: pastor - basically, the Victorian bushfires? With an official death toll of over 180 people, with over 5000 people left homeless? That's God smiting us for killing babies.

Children of Time Awards.

So... apparently, I have too many nominations for the Children of Time awards in three separate categories.(Huh?) And that's breaking the rules. (Eh?? Now I just feel bad for breaking rules! I didn't even know there were rules!!) They've asked me to tell them which ones to keep and which ones to boot. (Oi.) Honestly, I can't decide. (I can't! ...except for Pulse. That one? Gone! *g*)

First thought that pops in to my mind? What happens if I don't reply? Will they disqualify me? Honestly, I kind of hope so. First I had to accept nominations (under the threat of disembowelment!) and now they want me to decide which ~~children~~ to keep.

Fear not, I won't not reply - I'll have to sleep on it, though - but I should point out now that, while I really appreciate being thought of, I won't be accepting any nominations for future rounds. (Yes, Wendy, I'm talking to you! *g*) I know it takes a great deal of effort on the behalf of the organisers and, I'm sure, those who do the nominating and I'm grateful, really, but I'm not a great fan of awards to begin with and I'm not entirely comfortable with the process. At least you had the option of opting out of the Kerths. (I know, I know, I make *no* sense. Who doesn't like accolades?)

I could have sworn I've done this, but I can't find it, so...

Tagged by imaginary_iby...

01. What are your nicknames?

Well, some people call me the Space Cowboy...

02. How does your hair look currently?

Wet. And curly. *g* I just had a shower and I haven't checked... I could, of course, check, but that'd involve looking for a mirror and that's far too much effort.

03. What's new in your life right now?

Is three weeks still new? I've had my puppies for three weeks. They're definitely the nicest new thing right now. Otherwise I'm... still unemployed, still waiting for applications, still cooking and cleaning like a good wife. *g*

04. How many colours are you wearing now?

Two, I suppose. It's kind of warm, so I'm not wearing an awful lot... Yep, I've even forgone the socks. *g*

05. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

I'm an extroverted introvert. When I want to be. *g*

06. What was the last book you read?

I'm currently reading Running With Scissors. Before that was Wolf At The Door which, yes, is technically the wrong way around. Man that guy had a messed up childhood.

07. Do you nap a lot?

Not really. Well... not at all, actually. Probably why I tend to fall asleep on the keyboard some nights. :(

08. Who is your favourite super hero?

*g*

09. Is there anything that has made you happy lately?

My cousin rang me - video call - completely out of the blue this afternoon and put the wee lad on the phone. I think I grinned for hours. *g*

10. What's your current obsession?

My 360. Not that I've a lot of time to play... I have to fight to get on *my* tv!

11. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

Can we count into the minus digits? Most of the time I leave the house still asleep!

12. What websites do you visit daily?

Gmail... LJ... Blackle. My homepages. Lately, the nswhealth website, facebook and http://www.realestate.com.au *g*

13. Do you write fic? What was the last fic you wrote?

Um... heh. Yes, technically. The last fic I wrote was... something for Wendy? Ah! Fairytales. Yes, I had to check...

14. What's the last thing you laughed about?

The puppies. They're pretty hilarious to watch. It was hot today so I was spraying them with water... Leo, my pup, would come up to me and wait while I sprayed him and then whinge until I'd pat him. He'd tolerate the water if, and only if, he got his ears scratched, thank you very much! My brother's pup, Jack, would run up, wait until I turned the hose on him, yelp and dash off (rinse, repeat) and Theon, the other puppy, would howl (with puppy laughter, obviously) from her perch behind the tyre while the other two got wet.

... I'm easily amused. *g*

15. What's the last song that got stuck in your head?

Give me land, lots of land, and the starry sky above! Don't fence me in!

No, seriously.

16. What's the last movie you saw?

Double Jeopardy. :P Last movie at the cinema was The Day The Earth Stood Still. Crap. *g*

17. Do you buy or download the movies you watch?

Both? I generally buy eventually. Or, if a certain someone keeps nagging me...

18. What is your least favourite thing to do that you did today?

Vacuum. Blegh, yuck.

I tag... nobody! Ha! I don't believe in tags today. So much so, that I won't even tag this post. Double ha!

Nicked from... oh, just over half my flist. *g*

1. When did you start watching?
I haven't a clue what the date was, actually, but it was sometime after The Christmas Invasion had aired and before Season two.

1a. Why?
wendymr. Wonder how many people have answered that? *g* I think she converted about half of my last fandom...

2. What was your first episode?
Rose, naturally.

3. Which episodes have you seen?
All the new stuff. One or two episodes of the original series. I wanted to watch some, but there's so much I don't know where to start.

3a. Favourite?
Rose. Or... no, Rose. :)

4. Are your friends/family interested in the show?
They are now. *g* The only person who resisted was my dad. I'm so good, I even converted my uncle who, unfortunately, pestered me until I gave in and watched the Christmas Special with him.

5. Which Doctor is your favourite?
Nine.

6. Which Doctor is your least favourite?
The abomination? Nah, I did love him too... Um... I quite liked Ten. Really liked Three, so I'd have to say... Five?

7. Which TV companion is your favourite?
Rose. She was my first and... you always remember your first.

8. Which TV companion is your least favourite?
That's... a difficult question. I'm going to say Martha. I quite liked her at first, but it quickly went down hill. She got really annoying, really fast.

9. Do you listen to the Big Finish audios?
Nope.

9a. If so, which is your favourite?
La-la-la...

9b. Also: which Big Finish companion is your favourite?
The second one.

10. Have you listened to any non-Big Finish audios?
Nope.

11. Have you read any of the novels or short stories?
I read one, once, but... it was rather forgettable.

11a. Have you written any of the novels or short stories?
Heh, no.

11b. Which is your favourite?
That one with the thing that happened in that place that one time... You know what I'm talking about, right?

12. Have you read any of the comics?
All of them... Okay, none of them.

13. Do you watch any of the spinoffs (e.g. Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures)?
Yep.

13a. Which is your favourite?
Torchwood. Surprisingly enough. SJA has such rubbish special effects and way too many kids...

14. Is there any particular episode/book/audio/comic you desperately want to watch/listen to/read?
I've had a hankering for Doomsday, lately... But, you know, I can't rewatch it. I just can't.

Fandom

1. Do you write fanfic for Doctor Who?
I did. I hope to once more...

1a. If so, post a snippet of a work-in-progress (or several)!

For a little while you try a brolly. It’s sleek and black with an engraved handle and it’s a fair bit more stylish than your last, if you do say so yourself. Expensive, too, you’d guess, having nicked it from Pete and Jackie’s after one of their terribly terrible posh parties. It’s the right height - just perfect for the casual lean - and it looks fairly good with your new, charcoal suit, but it rains just as much in this London as it did in the last, and everyone has a brolly.

It makes you blend in when you want to stand out. You’ve blended quite enough, as far as you’re concerned.

You try a scarf too, of course. It isn’t nearly as long as the last one and the ends keep getting nattered, but it’s colourful and it swishes a little bit when you walk. You rather like the scarf, you must admit, and you think you’ve struck gold, but the scarf, like the brolly, is just that little bit... ordinary.

You persist all through your first winter anyway, wasting all that valuable time you could have spent on the hunt, thinking you’ve found the one, only to find yourself sorely disappointed come summer when the scarf is, quite suddenly, all but excruciating to wear. As it turns out, your silly half-human, entirely-too-blended body is much more sensitive to the heat.

--

There's a reason this one's not finished. *g*

2. Do you create Doctor Who icons?
I do, when the fancy strikes.

2a. Let's see a sample!
Um...

3. Recommend a fanfic/icon/fanvid/fancomic/fancreation!
Okay, now I realise how out of touch I've become...

4. Have you been to any Doctor Who conventions?
Nope. I'm not the convention-type.

5. Have you ever dressed up as a Doctor Who character?
Heh... um... Last costume party? I went as the TARDIS. Yes, you heard me.

6. Do you own any Doctor Who merchandise?
*innocent whistle*

I have... Season 1 - 4 on DVD, an inflatable TARDIS, a remote controlled Dalek, a money box, two sonic screwdrivers, a laser screwdriver, a collectors edition model Dalek, five action figures, a Doomsday set, three key rings, a build your own TARDIS model kit, another TARDIS that has some sort of sound thing... oh, and one of those wash cloth flannel things, a deck of cards and... that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

7. Are you a fan of Russell T Davies?
Yep.

7a. Steven Moffat?
Yes.

7b. Paul Cornell?
Eh? I don't know most of the writers...

8. What say you to Season 6b?
Um...

9. The UNIT dating controversy?
I think it was outrageous. If the UN wanted to date IT who are we to judge?

10. The Blinovitch Limitation effect?
*yawn*

11. Multi-Doctor episodes?
Amusing. *g*

12. What's your favourite Doctor Who technobabble?
Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow! It's so wrong it's gorgeous. *g*

13. Have you watched other TV shows exclusively because of the presence of Doctor Who actors?
Pfft, who does that? *whistles*

14. Have you met any of the actors?
Nope.

14a. Travelled to any filming locations?
Heh, no. I don't think my poor old car would make the trip.

15. What do you think of The Curse of Fatal Death?
Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. What is it?

16. Do you have any fannish opinions that you think are fairly unpopular?
I like Rose/the abomination. And I like calling him that, despite the fact that I like him. And... Donna? Not that great. Too perfect.

17. What's your favourite pairing?
Doctor/Rose.

18. What pairing(s) won't you touch with a really long pole?
Doctor/Rose/Jack.
