Stop it, brain! Stop it!

Wanderer Fantasy still exists, my friends! It does!

But I... I have accidentally started a new longer fic. Y HALO THAR UNEXPECTED EPIC THREE AND JO. Oh, fiddle.

The difference being, of course, that I have a definite end in sight for this fic - can't see it being over 20,000 words, and I've got the first 2,500-word chapter written already. It's a mystery/adventure-type, with Jo as the companion, and features UNIT and lots of strange goings-on. It's fun and dramatic (the plot spawned during an Avengers/X-Files marathon, which makes sense), takes place between Terror of the Autons and The Mind of Evil, and I think I should be able to finish it up well before Big Bang deadlines start coming into play. Right? Right. Yes.

(Reading Week doth approacheth. When I'm not teaching sixth-graders about the Coriolis effect and/or how to blow things up in a university lab, all I'll really have to do is write. Huzzah!)
