Those rumours again

[thisbluespirit]

You know those rumours about missing DW episodes that just won't quite die? They've returned again and this time various sources are claiming that tomorrow the BBC are going to announce missing Patrick Troughton stories to be available digitally this week. (And that there may also be more found.)

At least this time, there's a deadline. We don't hear anything tomorrow, obviously it's just more rumour-mongering, but if we do...

*tries very hard not to think about that and get my hopes up for no reason*

ETA: Of course, now they're saying "end of the week" instead... *eyes rumours darkly*

*Twitch* ... at least I will know exactly how people felt when the recovered episode of Galaxy 4 was announced.

And I literally spent hours today just trying to find stuff to request and offer, to my emotional anguish. "What I want to read" "what I feel comfortable writing/requesting" and "what is available" seem to intersect waaay too rarely considering more than a thousand fandoms are available... I'll leave the letter for the weekend.

(I could've just stocked up on Doctor Who spin-offs, but I'm weird about Yuletide in that I try to get away from my main fandoms that one time of the year... so no SJA or Big Finish for me. Unless other people write for them, of course.)

That one came out of the blue - and when I saw it go up on my flist, I honestly thought it was just a joke, because of the pairing of two such traditionally unloved serials (like a Good news! Bad news! joke). And then it was real!

One of the most exciting things about that, though, was that several articles at the time sounded as if they were on the trail of something else and feeling hopeful about finding it - and given these latest rumours have been growing for 2 years, maybe we're about to find out exactly what that was now?

And I can understand not wanting your usual fandoms for Yuletide. It's nice to have them in there, but it is fun to play with things you would never otherwise ask for. I'm requesting Jago & Litefoot, though, but there's simply nothing for it in the fandom - I think the only thing there is was written by me, which is no use from my point of view! But, yes, I doubt I'll offer SJA, and the others I'm not up to date with canon for anyway. Good luck with it!
