For
the_second_time's Digital Gift Exchange
Posted by Current Mood:
Title: A Christmas Carol
Rating: PG-13 (for a little skin, probably technically NSFW)
Spoilers: Slight for series 2, nothing obvious.
Pairings: Sarah Jane/Maria!
Warnings/Author Notes: This is for the digital gift exhange at
the_second_time, for
xhecticbankaix.
And a serious apology, because apparently I suck at even my own deadlines. I'm sorry it is so late. :-(
This turned into a joint project between myself and my brother
felix_carter. Basically, I had the idea and he had the talent and helped me get it drawn out. I apologise for it not being coloured... We tried to get it done, but I'm far overdue anyway. So I hope it is good enough.
xhecticbankaix's first request was something Christmas-y, like A Christmas Carol. This is what exploded into my mind.
( I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. )

December Prompts for
alien_catcher
For
muses_gonewild: "Arrogance"
The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too.
Word Count: 324
Note: Total humour, crack!verse fic.
For
fandom_muses: "Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies." - Ann Landers
Gwen Cooper knew too well what dying felt like. After all, she had died before.

2 a.m. was the best time for the game.

Monthly Prompt Update for Gwen

November Prompts for
alien_catcher
For
muses_gonewild: "Did you get the job?"
Not that I’m being nosy… Ok, I’m being nosy.
Word Count: 428
Note: Epistolary fic based on interaction between Gwen and Andy after she leaves the police.
For
goodathart: "From the sexual relations meme"
It was wrong. Wrong in the perfect, most logical way.
Word Count: 859
WARNING: Rated R, for slight BDSM, a wee bit of consensual rape fantasy, and a lot of Gwen just being outright dark.
For
fandom_muses: "Quote Prompt from The Once and Future King"
"One explanation of Guenever, for what it is worth, is that she was what they used to call a "real" person. She was not the kind of person who can be fitted away safely under some label or other, as "loyal" or "disloyal" or "self-sacrificing" or "jealous". Sometimes she was loyal and sometimes she was disloyal. She behaved like herself. And there must have been something in this self, some sincerity of heart, or she would not have held two people like Arthur and Lancelot. Like likes like, they say – and at the least they are certain that her men were generous. She must have been generous too. It is difficult to write about a real person." -From The Once and Future King, T.H. White

Catch Up for Gwen Cooper Fic

As it may be known, I RP as Gwen Cooper (

Drabble for
imatwat: "Needs A Hug! Gwen"
Owen’s flat never really got dark.

Word Count: 593
For
justprompts: "Five Times You Ran and One Time You Didn't"
Through her uniform the cold of the water seeped as if into her bones and her body seared with an aching fire and no matter how hard she laboured she was certain she would never breathe again.
Word Count: 1350
October Prompt Responses:
For
fandom_muses: "What would you have for your last meal?"
For a while after Suzie died (the second time), Gwen Cooper considered every meal to be her last.

"The Moonlight on Bannerman Road," Sarah Jane/Maria, PG
Posted byCurrent Mood:
Disclaimer: The following characters are property of their respective creators and owners. No copyright infringement intended.
Author’s Note: Sarah Jane/Maria has made me want to start writing fanfic again. This is a future fic, quite possibly the first in a series, set about five years after series one of the Sarah Jane Adventures.
O O O
Rated: PG
Type: Sarah Jane/Maria. Future fic/AU. Fluff with a pinch of angst.
Spoilers: None.
Summary: Sarah Jane suspected her life was easy to outgrow, and maybe that was why no one seemed to stick around.

"Extraordinary Day," Rose, clips up to "Doomsday"
Posted byCurrent Location: my room
Current Mood:
Current Music: Will & Grace
Title: Extraordinary Day
Sung By: Delta Goodrem
Video By:
purple_shoes
About: Ten/Rose, Doomsday
Episode: Up to "Doomsday"
Size: 4.29MB (.zip)
Notes: This song, also know as "July the 8th", was written by Delta in response to the day she was told she had leukaemia. I felt that it was appropriate for Rose for two reasons: first, the episode "Doomsday" aired the 8th of July, a strange coincidence. Second, I felt that it echoed a similar, pinnacle moment when Rose realises her life, like many of our lives, is decided by fate, and the certain helplessness and strange comfort that can come from this realisation.
Many thanks to
misssimm for so kindly being my webmistress and hosting my videos!

Due to the small amount of nominations we've recieved for the Doctor Who Limerick Project, I am extending the call for nominations until Sunday.
Please consider heading over and reading the limericks and nominating. Even if you haven't been involved yet, it's a fun project and we had a great turn-out with limericks. You can nominate whether or not you wrote a limerick, we would still love you input.
And please pimp it!
This will be the last post about nominating since I feel bad about flooding everyone's flist and communities. So remember, nominate until Sunday (midnight), and I will post Monday with links to voting.
Thanks!
