stunt_muppet: (classic doctor who)

Apparently, Block Transfer Computations has been nominated for the "Classic Who: Episode Tag" category of the Children of Time Awards. Which I...er...didn't even realize were running again. Many thanks, anonymous nominator! (And hurrah for them having a Classic Who category this time, plus separate categories for SJA and Torchwood! It all looks much better-organized this time around.)

Goodness, it has been forever since I finished anything at all, hasn't it? I should get on that.

In similar fic-related notes, there's already a category on Teaspoon for the Eleventh Doctor. WTF, people, he doesn't even have a personality yet. I'm confused.

Two unrelated points:

1. Most of the Rammstein's apparently been removed from iTunes, boo. I haven't ripped Live aus Berlin to my computer yet (since I, er, haven't unpacked it *looks sheepish*), but I wanted the studio version of "Keine Lust", dagnabbit. All that's left are Mutter and Rosenrot, which, while fine albums all, I already possess. Pfft.

2. USA's been running NCIS marathons as of late, and I think I ship Abby with pretty much everyone. I can see her with Gibbs, with McGee, with Ducky...granted, I haven't found a way to ship her with Kate, Ziva, or Tony yet, but give me time. I'm sure I'll think of something.

I should just fork over for more icon space already; I think I'm going to need an Abby icon. I love her lots and kind of want to be her.

That's all.

Hilarious - I'm the complete opposite; I don't currently ship Abby with anyone. However, let me illustrate starting points in which you could ship her with the following people:

Kate: simple enough; watch their conversations (of a sort) in "Kill Ari." Plenty to extrapolate. And their friendship has been well established.
Tony: Same episode, with him diving to protect her. In general, they have a lot of rather cute banter, too.
Ziva: You saw the bitchslapping, right? Pure and simple: hate!sex! :P (*scrubs brain*) Or, you know, much nicer forms; I think Abby's hugged her a few times, and they seem like relatively good friends by now.

I want an Abby icon too. I have an unwritten rule about one-icon-per-show, unless it's one I frequently mention outside of review context, but this one's so pretty I don't want to give it up...

You know, none of the marathon episodes have been "Kill Ari". Which is irritating, because I feel like I'm missing a big, important thing, and I probably am, and I've seen the episode where Kate actually dies, but...well, now I know I need to make a point of it. I did see the bitchslap, though. :D

The thing is, Abby's just so darn affectionate and flirty with everybody that I can't help but ship her. Not in a serious, OTP way or anything, but I just see the possibilities all over the place. Though I might have to pick Abby/Gibbs, if I had to settle on one.

I just...there's so many icons I want to use, all the time, for all my shows. And I feel bad about swapping them out, because they're all so pretty, and what if I want to use them again? It's all very distressing.

a) Kill Ari is what flipped me from "I'm really enjoying this show in reruns" to "OMG LUV." I definitely recommend it. Or them, it's a 2-parter.
b) Yay! Abby/Gibbs was the one I liked for a while, until I dialed my rabid inner shipper down a bit. Excellent prioritizing. :P
c) It is distressing. I had to go get myself a paid account just to cope with it. Where are those a la carte pics they promised us, eh?

Congrats on the nomination! I volunteered to help notify the nominees because they are getting HUNDREDS of nominations...it's crazy. I guess voting for Round 2 will begin in February, and then there will be a Round 3 starting in March. Good luck!

(I had a drabble nominated...yay.)

Voting for Round 2 begins February 5, from what I can tell. There aren't nearly as many nominations for Classic Who and SJA - most of the categories aren't even full, but New Who categories seem to have filled briskly.

And congratulations on getting nominated!

Congratulations on the nomination! :)

As for the Eleventh Doctor fic, the fact that there are already 18 of the things scares the hell out of me. I haven't even dared to see what's being written...

Oh well, I seem to remember that there were a lot of Marthafics that predated her first appearance onscreen. It's a lark, I suppose; and it'll be interesting to see which bits of these early fics get jossed (russelled? stevened?).

Good point, but I don't see the appeal myself. It's one thing to speculate about a minor character who's yet to show up, but basing the Doctor or companions on speculation seems like it's...missing the point?

I don't know.

I haven't looked myself, just because I'm not terribly interested in Eleven yet (he's not going to be here for another year), but...yeah, I'm sure a few of them are good, but I've never understood the appeal of speculative characterization of the main character. Hmm.

And thank you!

You are an absolute darling. I'll give you the address when you call me tomorrow, okay?

I miss you. *squeeze*
