Fannish things!

[eponymous_rose]

Saw the two-minute CiN preview for the Doctor Who Christmas special - here it be - and am very much on the excited side. Possible spoilers follow:

Most of you know that I am a huge fan of the Big Finish audio The One Doctor, so this "what what what two Doctors?" setup - no matter how similar the actual storyline may be - makes me squee way too loudly. By the way, if you have not yet heard The One Doctor, you must listen to it right away. Go now. Yes, now. It's worth buying sight-unseen (or, um, sound-unheard?), for it features Six and Mel and several massive bucketloads of awesome. And those are metric massive bucketloads, you know. They're. Um. Big buckets.


SPEAKING OF THINGS, look! A new shiny preview for the third series of Eighth Doctor audios! I haven't actually finished listening to series two yet (so behind on... everything, pretty much, but that way I can marathon things! Right? Right!), so I was a bit confused, but it still sounds very exciting and all.

(Quasi-fannish thing - I have started putting little post-its everywhere a la Get Smart movie, and I am actually remembering to do things! It's nifty. Thanks, movie! And, um, we'll ignore the stuff I forget to write down on the post-its. Anyone else a compulsive list-maker? How do you guys keep organized? I am always looking for new tips. Aaand my post-its just fell off the wall again.)

Am almost done rewatching the original series of Star Trek (woe!), and am amazed at how little I remember of it. I suppose I probably saw it a bit differently at the age of five. Ahem. And oh my goodness, there are some cracky episodes. Some are also very nifty, though! Am looking forward to rewatching the movies very much! And the new one! Exciting time to be a Trek fan. :D

All I can really say about Yuletide is this: HURRAH! I am very excited about my assignment. And, you know, the whole Yuletide thing, because obscure fandoms! I love them.

(Am way, way, way, way behind on NaNo, with my 5,000 words on the first day and pretty much nothing else. This weekend may be a turnaround point? We'll see. elyssadc, you'll be getting a finished fic out of that at some point, mark my words!)

ME TOO. I don't even care how closely it skews to The One Doctor, because in such a case it could not possibly be a bad thing. XD Only improvement upon the audio I can wish for is that Doctor and Impostor spend more time working together, like if maybe Ten decides to tag along and innocuously play companion or something. <3

I'M A COMPULSIVE LIST MAKER. I even have a freaking lj tag for it.

That is the truest thing I've heard all week.

I cackled like a mad thing. Oh my God. I hope this is what it looks like!

I do not think it can be as glorious as The One Doctor because he says TARDIS there, instead os STARDIS. I would kill to see Ten's face if he saw the STARDIS. I am so happy for new Ten! I shall treasure him more than ever.

Lucie audios! I interrupted my marathon to, er, marathon First Doctor episodes (I just met Vicki!), but I am very much in love with Lucie and her dynamic with Eight. Also with Sheridan Smith's haircut, but that's neither here or there.

I agree, I love The One Doctor like a mad little thing... but I adore this too! Don't understand the gripe.

Morrissey had me as soon as he did the cocky wink thing. XD

Well, I'm going to sulk when there isn't a tango between Ten and impostor!Ten/possibly!Eleven/whoever-he-is, but I'm looking forward to more Morrissey. (Haven't heard "The One Doctor" yet.)

I love "The One Doctor" so much. If "The Next Doctor" sticks with the LOLs and dumps the usual Xmas emo/angst, I will be a happy person!

Ah, this reminds me just how much I want more Big Finish. There's so many of them, I haven't even gotten around to Zagreus yet!

Original Trek can be painful, but it's a good pain.

Eee, I so hope this is The One Doctor! I *heart* David Morrissey and I hope Rosita is awesome.

Hey, compulsive list-maker, have you seen this site: http://www.listography.com ? I have one, but I haven't used it much yet.
