Fic Announcement :)  
So this is my posting window for the [info]hearts_in_time Nine/Rose RUN! ficathon. Chapter 1 of my story, A Piece of Home, is posted over there now.

I'll post the story over here on this LJ (and cross-posted to T&C) once the 'embargo' period is up (aka by next Thursday). But, if you really, really can't wait, you can find it on [info]hearts_in_time.

Interesting Discussion over at [info]nnwest's LJ  
The question is: oes Doctor Who have a fanfic story that could generally be considered the Doctor Who story? A story (or author) considered to be definitive for the fandom? Does Torchwood? Sarah Jane Adventures? Or do the spin-offs miss out on having such stories identified because of their association with the parent series?

It's an interesting discussion, mostly because I'm not so sure there is such a thing in Doctor Who fandom. So go over and join ;) Or say something here.

MEMES OF DOOM ;)  
This is the MEMES OF DOOM post. Mostly because I'm trying to prod my brain into writing for my ficathon fic here.

Pick one. Pick both.

One Word

Give me a word. Just one. And you'll get a sentence in reply.

Time Stamp Meme

Give me one of my own stories and a timestamp sometime in the future after the end of the story, or sometime in the past before the story started. I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

You can find my fics here or else here

Episode Review - Or Why I Love Donna  
So, let me be frank. When I first saw Donna in the Runaway Bride, I didn't really like her. She was too shouty, too boisterous. I was glad that she went on her own and did something else for a while and didn't go with the Doctor.

Thank god for that time away, though.

Donna changed for the better and oh how I adore her now. As [info]wendymr said in her review/comment post, Donna is the Doctor's conscience. She's someone he needs (and has needed) to tell him when to stop, and when to save a life. She's completely brilliant. And, as a Rose fan, I actually find myself loving Donna a bit more than Rose.

I think the way I look at it is this. Rose was the perfect companion for Nine. But Donna is the perfect companion for Ten (at this moment in time, after everything that's happened to him). She's exactly who he needs right now.

A Question about TARDISes...because my f-list knows everything  
Now I'm going by vague recollections here, but weren't there "male" TARDISes? I know that the TARDIS the Doctor has is "female" (or is referred to as female), but I seem to recall that the Battle TARDISes/War TARDISes were male. Or am I imagining things here? I know convention has all ships being referred to as female. But if we go by the assumption that the TARDIS is a sentient being, why wouldn't there also be 'male' TARDISes?

Also, how do TARDISes reproduce? We know they're grown, but does that mean asexual or sexual reproduction? I know corals can do both, which is why I'm asking the question.

Tornadoes....  
Tornado sirens... Tornado Warning here until 8PM...

Eep

ETD: Tornado Warning was cancelled. There were some rather impressive tornado pictures taken, though. Nothing hit around here, thankfully.

I'm awake!  
I actually slept rather well for the first time in several days. This makes me very happy :)

In other news, new chapter of Schrodinger's Doctor will be up tomorrow.

Goal for tonight:

*snoozes*  
Once again, I didn't sleep too well last night. I'm half-asleep right now and desperately trying to wake up. Work isn't helping much at the moment because the prospect of reading product specs is guaranteed to send me off to snooze-land faster than...well...anything else.

I'm sipping hot chocolate right now and praying it'll help wake me up.

And, for some reason, the network right now is crawling at a snail's pace. *taps desk as she waits for another document to open up*

In other news, I finished Chapter 4 of Schrödinger’s Doctor and it's off for beta. :)

And, even better, I know where to go from here on that fic! Yays!

On the agenda for today/tonight:

- Make massive inroads on Chapter 5 - maybe, possibly, if my muse is 'with it' finish the chapter and possibly the fic.

April Writing Goals  
1. Get over this bought of writer's block and finish Schrödinger's Doctor. I've brainstormed with my darling [info]nnwest, so I believe I know where to go from here and how to get there, so that's good.

2. Write my Nine/Rose Ficathon piece.

3. Write a fic for [info]adaliazandra with the Doctor losing his voice, because it sounds like fun.
