... to the very excellent astrogirl! May you have a lovely day! ♥


I suddenly recalled that I had written a 500 prompts drabble for you that I wasn't sure when and where to post because it was far too silly to be a thing. Clearly, a perfect birthday gift, right? (I'm sorry! The damn thing had to be done at some point.)

( The Vacuum of Time )

I also made things for fandom_stocking. I made a few sets of icons for various people, and wrote four drabbles, using randomised poetry prompts (except for the Six Wives one):

( Four Doctor Who, Six Wives of Henry VIII & S&S drabbles )

Last night's DW made me write a drabble. Amazing! (It was v good. I loved it. And, oh, I love Clara. ♥ If you don't, I don't need to know about it here. Thank you.)


Friendly Warning
Drabble. Ian Chesterton, Twelfth Doctor. Spoilers for Face the Raven. It is possibly a mean drabble, but it was a thing I thought of this morning.

Before I forget again...

Orac/Nyssa drabble for b7love_250.

24 icons from The West Wing & Press Gang (9 text, 15 images) for the current fan_flashworks challenge 'breakfast'.

And, other than that, I don't know. Tired, but okay? Hmm, talking of one of my comms reminds me. I most post the discussion post on dw_straybunnies that I've had ready for a month or so. *notes to do later* (Lunch etc first.)

This took a while, but memed from jjpor:

1. Go to this link:
http://www.koveras.org/thriller/

2. Randomly generate one cheesy made-up thriller title

3. Write a drabble for your fandom of choice that in some way relates to the title generated. Be warned, some of them are a bit...non-obvious

4. If you're not fed up yet, repeat until you are!

I decided the fandom would be Blake's 7 and then (after it gave me The Phantom Menace), I got The Reality Ploy (which I like so much I want to use on something else someday, too.)

( The Reality ploy )

Firstly, I am wearing contact lenses. This is really peculiar, but very exciting. (Although I did think for a bit that the very kind and patient woman at Boots wasn't going to let me have them... because of my initial inability to take them out. I must say I wondered what it would be like putting them in, but hadn't thought about how weird it would be sort of pinching at seemingly non-existent things in your eyes. However, I managed it.)

Secondly, and what I was meaning to say - I've been doing some actual writing!: I finally finished my DW/Angel crossover last night (now up on Teaspoon HERE). I must thank dbskyler who has probably forgotten that she answered my what-should-Peri-sing-at-karaoke question last spring or something - and gave me not only a sensible answer to that but also a fun last line. So: thanks!

Plus, have a random drabble! I've been going back through some of the old dw100 challenges recently and was trying to do one per Doctor for the 004/020 challenge 'crossover'. I did this one and then realised that not only was it obscure (as ever), but it didn't have a Doctor in it, so it didn't count (for my own personal satisfaction, I should add - dw100 are wonderfully non-prescriptive!). So: Tegan Jovanka has a new employee at the famliy cattle feed business who isn't the least bit scared of her bossiness... (I don't know why I keep using The Gathering continuity when sometimes I don't want the audio to exist, but then Tegan's arguments about why she ended up in the business are fun)(DW/Press Gang):

( Just Like Home )

I've got my third fake TV Show nearly done, but I'll hold fire on it for a bit, because it's also Regency-set, so I don't want to follow Cloak and Dagger with it too swiftly.

For pedanther who asked for Captain Yates, Captain Magambo & robots. That's a lot to get into a drabble, so the robot appears only fleetingly, but here goes:

Another one, this time Wilf and Leela, for john_elliott:
