When Fandoms Collide!

[eponymous_rose]

(The best part of wandering into a well-established fandom is gleefully discovering all the things that everyone else has seen a million times before and being obnoxiously enthusiastic about them.)

A snippet from the TOS book I've been reading:

"Here we are," Uhura said, and dropped another tape in the read slot, hit the control. For a second nothing seemed to be happening on the stage. Then a peculiar grinding, wheezing sound began to fill the air. On the platform there slowly faded into existence a tall blue rectangular structure with doors in it, and a flashing white light on top, and what appeared to be the English words "Police Public Call Box" blazoned on the front panel above the doors.

The book is My Enemy, My Ally by Diane Duane, and I am all asquee. What can I say?

Psst - It's your last chance to get yourself a Christmas card from me! I believe there are eighteen names on the list so far (I'll check 'em twice, don't worry), and I have several cards left that are looking for a good home!

(I did forget to mention something in my little wishlist section - fanart. I love fanart! Any and all fandoms, any and all characters.)

diane duane is made of win. and excellent writing. i have a doctor who fic that she wrote around here somewhere... it is fifth doctor and one of the gals, and it doubles as a tasty pizza recipe. THERE IS SENTIENT YEAST. argh, i can't find it! damn. i'm going to have to do a search. i originally found it because she sometimes hangs around fandom_wank (YES SHE'S GOT A JOURNALFEN ACCOUNT WTF) and it came up in a comment thread with her.

The Pizza Story is still to be found on the Web, preserved in the original text form yet:

omg are you MADE OF MAGIC? *hurrahs*

strangely, i am about to go make pizza myself, but sadly not from that recipe, as i already had dough to hand. perhaps next time? oh dang, i should have checked the dealer's room at the chicago TARDIS con this past weekened to see if they had any sentient yeast available. fail!
