Quick update - my Liz Shaw post for loves_them_all's Companion Posting Month is up and running! Take a look-see, because Liz is indeed made of awesome.

In other news, I'm moving tomorrow! How very exciting! I picked up the key today and wandered around my apartment in a daze, because it truly is remarkable and shiny (power! I have power!). And quiet - was marvelling at the lack of sound, realized that the windows were all open, and marvelled still further.

Unfortunately, my celebratory "Health Drink" of some sort seems to have disagreed with me, so it is to bed, the better to wake up at a ridiculously early hour tomorrow and be functional!

(This probably marks my last post here at the condo, so, um. Yes! Dramatic! Will probably not get internet hooked up until Saturday, which means that you will get a massive fic!dump on that day. Hooray!)

Due to the events of the last week or so, and the multitude of Amazing Snowballing Things, I've had to drop out of tardis_bigbang. This is strangely upsetting, all things considered. So, uh. Hug tiem now?

(I will still finish the fic, probably even by the end of May, but I can't make the intermediate deadline. I'm just frustratingly unusued to quitting, especially this late in the game.)

Am doing much better; am busy, but am doing much better.

Still hope to have daily fics posted for the times I missed, but my latest effort, all 3,000 words of it, I very cleverly neglected to save before quitting and that's put me right off for the night. Will finish Big Bang and see where I am then.

Title: Savile Row (The Glass Menagerie Remix)

Characters: Martha Jones, Tenth Doctor
Author's Note: Remix of iamsab's Savile Row for remixredux08.

Link: He makes suits to order, bespoke.

(Also, now that betas have also been revealed and my lips are no longer sealed, go tell rosa_acicularis how brilliant The Boy Who Killed Time (The Last Love Song Remix) is.)

Hey, all the cool kids are doing it! Drop me a line if you so desire. :D Lemme know if you're there!

Bus trip to the parents' house was uneventful, which was nice. Now I am surrounded by family and cats. Hooray!

Well, tomorrow is the reveal date for remixredux08, so I suppose I had best post my #1 Super Awesome Rec before the names start popping up! (And if anyone would care to guess which fic I wrote, message me or leave a comment here - they'll be screened! If you guess correctly, you get a fic (not a ficlet, a full-fledged fic) of your choice that I will endeavour to actually write in the near future.)

My #1 Super Awesome Rec is, of course, for the incomparable The Boy Who Killed Time (The Last Love Song Remix), which I think is very probably the winner of Remix '08 and all things ever. The original was brilliant, but this is utterly outstanding - it's a heartbreaking (not to mention witty and occasionally downright hilarious) flyover of the Doctor's life and companions, touching on the very beginning, the Time War, and everything in between and beyond. Every single character rings true in this, but I am particularly fond of the conversation between Leela and Eight. If you only read one Doctor Who fic this year, make it this one, for it is perfect and utterly inspiring for any fanfic writer who's ever wanted to really do something special.

Now go read it.

(There are many, many amazing fics out there this year, but I haven't had much of a chance to browse just yet. More recs should be coming in the near future!)

Stolen from a bunch of people, in the hopes of giving myself a brief distraction between Dines Compensations and canonical forms!

Name a character that you know I write or have written, and I'll tell you:

a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her.
b. One of his/her best traits.
c. One of his/her worst traits.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character.
e. The story/thread/chapter/post/paragraph/tag/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character. [I may not be able to find it and exactly reproduce it, but I'll try to remember which story at least...]
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future.

Characters: Ninth Doctor, Jo Grant, Harry Sullivan, Vicki, Tegan Jovanka, Jamie McCrimmon, Ace McShane, Hex Schofield, Peri Brown, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, others
Author's Note: Written mostly for happydalek, who requested Nine with other companions, but this has been written with much of the flist in mind.

Summary: He tells himself that a memory is a life, but the drumming silence in his head only echoes stronger.

( For Tomorrow You Might )

I've organized my Fic Masterlist so that it is now actually navigable by fandom/Doctor's era. The gaps in my knowledge of Doctor Who canon are plainly visible for all to see, hee!

Any suggestions/recommendations as to the formatting? I've got so much stuff on there at the moment that I should really get some sort of system going.

Edit: Also: Fic Requests are still going!

Characters: Illya Kuryakin, Napoleon Solo
Author's Note: Wonky internet and general forgetfulness mean I'm only getting around to posting this now. Apologies!

Summary: Napoleon and Illya find themselves the sole survivors of their first mission together; tempers flare as they await rescue in THRUSH-infested woods.

( Gratitude preserves old friendships, and procures new. )

Because I haven't done one of these in a while, and I don't think it can possibly hurt, right? Can it?

Now that summer's on the horizon, and with it a teensy bit more flexibility in terms of timing and such, I'd love to start filling requests for various fics and such. I know several people have posted lately about the sort of fic they'd like to see in their favourite fandoms - now's your chance to get me to write 'em! I would be extremely happy to write in Doctor Who (any era), Man from U.N.C.L.E. (please?), Sapphire and Steel, and Sherlock Holmes fandoms, though you can push your luck and try something else to see if I'll go for it.

You know my style - I write gen, mostly, but am more than willing to dabble elsewhere if need be. Anything above PG-13 tends to come out a bit silly, though. Apart from that, anything goes!

(I also have a bad habit of twisting prompts to suit my own nefarious ends. Be forewarned.)

So here's my offer - give me a list of the sorts of fics you'd like to see, in whatever fandoms (as detailed as you like), and I shall do my utmost to work through the list in the coming months. I've still got a ton of fics left to write for 2008, so don't worry about loading me down with prompts!

Hey! remixredux08 is up, and there are some incredible entries out there. If you want a massive pile o' quality reading, that's a good place to start.

I am thrilled to bits with the remix of my drabble Paradigm Shift, which has been transformed into a lovely retrospective of the whole regeneration thingie by my mystery author, in Shifting Paradigms (The Crack Everything Open Remix).

(And you get a giant gold star/fic if you somehow manage to guess which is mine. Obviously, those who know already (for whatever reason) don't get a giant gold star/fic. Er. Sorry.)

That was a fun experience, all in all, and while doing a remix for Doctor Who is unquestionably a challenge (given that there are so, so many possible pairings and such you could wind up matched with), it was much fun. Will remix again, etc.
