I would appreciate your plot twists more if they weren't sexist as fuck.

This is honestly one of the best DW vids I've ever seen--creative, interesting, touching, and absolutely hilarious.

The life of Ten and his companions, as watched by Nine, narrated by music: Tenth Doctor: The Musical

Yes, somewhere on the internet, this happened.

And it is amazing.

Have a snippet:

"Doctor--"

"Be nice, Pond."

"But Doctor, they're--"

"Angel babies. Yes, I see that."

"And that--"

"Telepathic dolphin, yes."

"Okay," Amy said, and looked at him sidelong. "I'm not mad, just tell me the truth; you drugged me."

P.S. It's also songfic.

So apparently I do not update except to give television show reactions. Sorry about that.

That said, "The End of Time: Part One" was pretty much awesome. Some dodgy writing, yeah, but I loved it. (And think Jack would have had far too much fun during that final scene... if, you know, he were still on Earth and not off feeling sorry for himself on Sigma N'Chok Seven or wherever.)

Now I should get back to packing and trying to figure out what I'm doing in Paris for 3 days, as I'm off tomorrow morning.

Wish me luck!

I think that says it all, really.

(NOTE: I think I made these small enough, but if they mess up your friend's pages, just tell me and I'll resize or cut them. :) )

Title: And Deaths Redone (1/?)
Author: salienne
Characters: Doctor (Ten), Jack. Eventually Jack/Ianto, Gwen, Rhys, Alice, and really the whole Torchwood crew and then some
Spoiler Warning: Through Children of Earth
Rating: R
Summary: ( Here there be spoilers )
Disclaimer: Torchwood belongs to the BBC and the associated writers, directors, actors, etc. I just like to borrow the toys now and again, but I give them back.

A/N: Yes this is a fix-it, but hopefully a plausible one. I’ve really tried to balance the drama here, with a mix of gain and sacrifice, bunnies and firestorms, and I hope what I’ve done works. As always, I’d love feedback, and I hope you guys enjoy!

Also, I’m desperately seeking a Brit-picker for this story, so if any of you are interested, just drop me a comment. You would have my eternal gratitude.

(She is sitting behind the counter...)

So, I'm trying to figure out how to fix River Song's ending. I'm thinking Bad Wolf, or future!Ten, or weird time paradoxes, or Rose hopping through universes and somehow ending up in digi!land, or...

You know, I really don't know. But now that we have her, I just want to make it better.

2008 Fic Round-Up

Bananas and India (Ten/Rose) - The Doctor and Rose visit a banana grove.

The Coward’s Way Out (Ten, Jack, Master) - After a particularly gruesome torture session, the Master leaves the Doctor and Jack alone in a cell together.

Learning Curve (Nine/Rose) - Rose learns that somehow, the Doctor has managed to go 900 years without ever riding a bike, and just what sort of person would she be if she didn't set out to remedy that situation?

Fools to Truth [1-4/?] (Ten/Rose, Master, Jack, Martha) - AU where Rose didn’t get trapped in Pete’s World. She (and Martha) were there throughout S3. Also, at the end of LotT, the Master isn’t shot.

Post-LotT. With the Master aboard the TARDIS, Rose and the Doctor must learn to coexist with the Time Lord who, for a year, destroyed their lives and the lives of all those on the planet below. A story about change and choices, about the growth of relationships and the unforeseen consequences our decisions can bring.

Pieces (Ten II/Rose) - There are several very fine lines between loving and settling and accepting. To Rose, they’re all just a big blur. A late-night conversation between Rose and the Doctor who is just not her Doctor.

Story Time and Things That Go Boom (Rose, Martha, Donna) - The adventures of three girls and a TARDIS.


To be honest, guys, I’m rather disappointed. Granted, this doesn’t count original fiction, but I still wish I’d done more. I guess this is what happens when you take organic chemistry over the summer and then 21 credits during Fall semester?

1. HPOAYHOPYAOEYOPIUARE SO GOOD GUYS SO FREAKING GOOD! Seriously, that was very very well done, it wasn't nearly as repetitive or depressing as last year's, and Rosita and Morrison's "Doctor" and our Doctor just have great chemistry. The plot is fun and Miss Hartigan is great. I love it.

( Spoilery 2 and 3 )

ETA: So I'm trying to figure out if the sexism was intentionally placed to go with the time-period or just RTD not realizing what he's writing and how it comes off. I'm leaning towards the former, because it wasn't the awkward almost-subtext of Moffat but more obvious "You are a woman and thus I make decisions" stuff, and because Miss Hartigan goes on about it so much.

Thoughts?

Yup, Exit Wounds still makes no sense. (Well, either that or Jack has the most well-adjusted form of Dissociative Identity Disorder ever and it took over for some 2000 years.)

Regardless, Gray and the Master would be a very amusing team until the Master got bored and killed the poor guy.

'Cos 2000 years of constant suffocation and death? C'mon, you know the Master wishes he thought of that. And I'm sure Gray would love to have seen the Year That Never Was. And Voltaire's "When You're Evil" could be playing in the background! Or the Teletubbies. You know, whichever.

...I think Physics and Bio have melted my brain, but I totally want to write this now.

ETA: Whoever wrote the dialogue for Gray? Fail. Epic fail. The actor's skills weren't good enough to pull off the archaic and whiny-ness of it all, so while John Barrowman is acting his heart out and doing a pretty damn good job, I just want to smack this kid.

Also, why does Jack carry chloroform napkins in his coat pocket...?
