eponymous_rose: (DW | Three | Jo | A Bit Silly)
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!)

So. Nightmares.

Something to do with glowy faces and low-flying helicopters and doorbells. Whatever it was, it ended with my waking myself (and my roommate *winces*) an hour early by yelling: "Give us the owls! Give us the owls!"

And then, after getting back to sleep (ish) and waking up at a more reasonable time, I go to watch a totally random, never-before-seen Avengers episode before breakfast.

And the episode? Is "Too Many Christmas Trees", featuring Steed going progressively insane due to mind-controlly nightmares. Heehee!

So, y'know, if I start loudly singing songs and obsessing over socks and Santa Claus and handing out pens with tear gas, that's probably why.

(Best possible microcosm of The Avengers: Steed and Emma discussing a murder case, all serious-like. Perfectly normal dialogue. But, for no apparent reason, Emma is sitting on the couch, playing a freakin' huge tuba, and Steed's standing on tables shooting golf balls all over the place. No wonder I love this show!)

Also: the response on my request for fic-related assistance? Absolutely overwhelming. You guys rock!
