Link Me!

I'm back, I've had a fabulous time, and I'm going to be spamming y'all with posts and pictures for a bit. There are going to be three main posts about Italy (unless I run afoul of the size limits), and then tonight or tomorrow I'll be typing up the fannish stuff I was working on during the plane ride - the next fic in the Torchwood/SJA crossovers (Computer Security in the "A Question of Jurisdiction" cycle) and a defense of Sarah Jane titled "You were my life": Neither Retcon nor Romance.

*This* post is to ask you to catch me up with everything online. Anything major happening to you I should know about? Interesting articles or links? Any good fan essays, fanfic, (even wank)? Are there new installments on the Ten Doctors or Torchwood Babiez cartoons? Let me know!

Also, if you know of any good scrapbooking software, please let me know. I refuse to go buy all the papers and stickers and stuff - the last thing this house or my budget needs is the detritus of yet another hobby - but if you know of any good software where I can import my pictures, add some pretty stuff, play with my many fonts, and then print out the resulting page, let me know.

And now I'm off to turn all my Yahoogroups back to "mail" and read the 144 messages lurking on AOL...

PS - can anyone explain why iTunes has about 100 versions of "Old Time Rock & Roll" and NONE of them are Seger's?

PPS - cracktastic Donna Drabbles at Lady Mako's place.

PPPS - very darling dancing David Tennant vid on YouTube

Welcome back! Hope you had a terrific time :) As it happens, my husband's just heading to Italy for a business trip for two weeks (Padova, close to Venice) - at three days' notice. :P We have a friend who lives close to there, so at least he won't be completely alone.

Anyway... I don't tend to follow general fandom comment, debate, wank etc, or news about the actors, so I can't rec anything like that for your reading pleasure. On the other hand, here's a hilarious fic I stumbled across on the Teaspoon, though I know it's also been on LiveJournal: The Unbearable Weirdness of Being Unit. Think Brigadier Bambera, Ancelyn, the Master, the Rani, the Doctor and Donna - plus sundry other characters - and a swordfight. A couple of choice quotes:

Merlin came and he was a weasel in a suit: thin as a rail with hair that defied gravity.

and
“Am I bothered? Look, Brigadier, it’s like this: the planet blew up. The Doctor thought he was the only one left. Then the Master showed up and took over the country when I was on holiday and Martha Jones–some student he travelled with until she left him for being whiny–saved the word. Then he picked me up and we go on a few trips and what happens but your Martian science advisor and her girlfriend yank us out of the vortex thing because she stuck herself in a fob watch and no one told her the war was over. The Doctor explained things, they left, we went to Pompeii–where that idiot got thrown us into gaol and almost covered in lava, I might add–and then you sent us a message on that telegraph. He really should have given you his mobile number.” She paused for a moment, then added: “Oh, right. And supposedly your Martian friend there’s a mad scientist called the Rani. Not that anyone ever bothers to say what a Rani is–or why everyone on his planet seems to be named ‘The.’”.

Just go and read it ;)

And, though I haven't written any more of the Jackie-drabbles you were so kind about, I did write Jackie-in-Boom-Town sort of crackfic: Jackie Tyler's Grand Day Out.

Just go and read it ;)

I will, because those snippets are absolutely irresistable!

the Jackie-drabbles you were so kind about

Heh. If there's one thing Reviewing the Evidence & the Dear Author letters should teach you, it's that I'm never kind, I'm honest. Which means that when I'm nice about something, I really mean it!
