Dr Who and Yuletide revealings

We had a flying visit from [livejournal.com profile] new_kate last night, who swooped into Reading at 11.30pm like some sort of New Year's Eve ninja! It was so exciting! It was great to spend time talking about our goings on and fandom. She's gone back Up North now, and I've been pottering about all day doing things like sorting out my accounts, watching some tennis and eating pasta.

Dr Who thoughts - I yelped with joy at the cameos from Russell Tovey and Jessica Stephenson! Overall, it was gripping and my inner shallows appreciated the prettiness of John Simm immensely. It seemed to me that David Tennant's exit provided an excellent chance to reinvent who we think of as the Doctor. I've nothing against the new doctor except a sense of 'been there, done that'.

Yuletide reveal! I wrote an 11,500 Melusine fic: Cast our Fevers in Stone, which is Felix/Mildmay by way of a ghost story, and I'm very proud of it. The idea of working with these characters terrified me but the writing of it turned into a joy. A huge thank you to [livejournal.com profile] tarteaucitron, who encouraged me and cheered me on, and to [livejournal.com profile] emungere who as always was wise and kind and helped me thrash out plot details, and to [livejournal.com profile] tarteaucitron, [livejournal.com profile] emungere and [livejournal.com profile] daegaer for last minute beta services. Thank you!

I had two stories written for me, the author of one of which was INCREDIBLY OBVIOUSLY [livejournal.com profile] daegaer! Funky Robot Tennis RPS. It's wonderful and awesome and is exactly tailored to my specific brand of crazy ♥

Crying and other impossible feats by smartie1685 is an adorable Bradley James/Colin Morgan RPF. Thank you!

i need to craft a proper comment/rec on your yuletide fic. it seemed disingenuous before the reveal, but now it's completely kosher, right?
