Fannish things!

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!)

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

Holy crap. I got so caught up in thinking about the One Doctor that I didn't even register the bit with my actual NAME in it. Reading comprehension bad. BAAAD. But yes! I know you'll finish it eventually. I'd much rather you take your time and enjoy the process than stress out trying to get it done by some arbitrary date. So, HAVE FUN with it!

Oh, I'm definitely having fun with it! (With such a perfect prompt, how couldn't I?) But yes, running around like crazy recently, and Yuletide's deadline is looming already, with their oh-so-innocuous countdown on the main page. Heehee.

I do know how it ends, though. It's just the in-between that could be sneaky. ;)

(There has been snow here recently, which means that I will get to overuse this icon like crazy. Excellent!)
