I'm still transcribing bits from my last month of access to the British Newspaper Archive and came across this in an article about street literature (i.e. ballads about murder and hangings, dodgy verses about royals and crinolines, much disapproved of by respectable folks, etc. etc.):

The present street literature printers are W. S. Fortey (Catnach’s successor), Monmouth-court, Seven Dials; Henry Disley, High-street, St. Giles; Taylor, Brick-lane; H. Such, 177, Union-street, Borough; and J. Harkness, Church street...

:-D

[community profile] remixrevival has now revealed the authors for the main collection, so I can now own up that this was my effort, though I doubt it'll come as too much of shock to anyone who read it and knows me!

Autumn Mourning (The Falling Leaves and Elephants Remix) (4329 words) by lost_spook
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Blake's 7, Doctor Who (2005)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Major Character Death
Relationships: Orac & The Doctor's TARDIS, Kerr Avon/Orac, The Doctor/The Doctor's TARDIS
Characters: Orac (Blake's 7), The Doctor's TARDIS, Kerr Avon, Vila Restal, Dayna Mellanby, Soolin (Blake's 7), Del Tarrant
Additional Tags: Remix, Artificial Intelligence, Computers, Canonical Character Death, Post-Canon, Post-Gauda Prime, Jokes
Summary: Orac has data to share with the TARDIS. The TARDIS reads more than Orac knows or wishes – about its humans, its sad state, and its non-existent electric heart.

From Grieved It on its Way by [personal profile] still_lycoris. My remix is thoroughly spoilery for Blake's 7 in multiple ways (should anyone Doctor Who side be interested).

The first fic I read when looking for what to remix was this one, and it was so obviously the one I was going to have to remix, I was almost affronted. Anyway, the original is a lovely/sad post-canon crossover about Orac and the TARDIS, with Orac sending files to the TARDIS, so I could switch it to the TARDIS's end and explore the files she receives. Plus, there's an old joke about elephants and trees.


With thanks to [personal profile] aralias who beta-ed the original, and who asked the important question: where was Gan? (Whoops. Sorry, Gan!)
