Summary: When a warehouse burns to the ground for no apparent reason - and the only living witness claims to have seen fire-breathing demons - the Doctor and Jo become embroiled in a deadly confrontation against an opponent who knows them only too well.

Unexpected Foodstuffs?

First off - very important question:

[Poll #1136252]

I like it. Unless somebody makes me a super-awesome custom DW layout (any takers? *nudgenudge*), I'll probably stick with it. :D

Argumentum Ad Metam clocked in at just under 20,000 words (19,767) - since I can manage to write a self-contained fic of that length in one week, on top of school and work and volunteering... well, and midterms, I think I'll be all right for tardis_bigbang. Right? Right.

(I may go back and rewrite this one at some point - so much got cut because I was just trying to finish on time. Originally there was supposed to be another large-scale incident like the warehouse fire, and DCI Snell was going to actually get a much bigger part, but, well. What can you do?)

Went downstairs this morning to discover that my part of the fridge is mysteriously full of tupperware containers of shrimp and spinach risotto! I think my roommate got bored again - she cooks. Mmm. Unexpected food is the very best kind!

And join us over at legsofscience, you guys - we're rewatching "Spearhead From Space" this month, which is made of awesome! (Come on. Autons? The Doctor being overly protective of his shoes? An excellent Brig/Liz-as-Mulder/Scully scene? You know you want to join us! No previous Three-watching experience necessary, either.)

A Movie Meme! (Also: I lose at flist!)

First off, an extremely happy belated birthday to wheresmycow and bellabelball! I can't believe I missed them both - hope you guys had awesome days and will celebrate today as well. :D

This one's snagged from rachelbeann, because it is made of awesome. I'm going to do it first with movies, then with TV shows, because I'm just ornery that way (and because my taste in movies doesn't seem to overlap much with my taste in TV shows - why is that?). Also, I love quoting things at you. :D

1. Pick 15 10 of your favourite movies and 10 of your favourite TV shows.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions. Totally cheating, you dirty cheaters.

(Some of these are such total classics that I had a hard time not going with giveaway lines.)

EDIT: *cackles madly* Two of the memes I invented earlier this year are making a comeback. The internet is mine! :D
