Title: Protect Me, Protect You
Author: little_cello
Word Count: ~1250
Pairing: Sam/Dora
Rating: Green Cortina
Summary: Sam's angstyness nearly gets him killed. Dora is not amused.
Notes: Alright, so I'm in the middle of an absolutely hellish week, I am utterly braindead and aggressive after spending 3-4 hours of orchestra+choir rehearsal in a room with a temperature of about 35°C and air that doesn't deserve to be breathed anymore, and I still have another few days of that ahead of me. I needed to get aggressions and stuff off my chest, so I wrote this. Was originally intended to be some simple Whump Without Plot, but turned into Sam/Dora along the way. Unbeta'd, probably really weird, but I don't care, I needed to write it, and since I haven't posted much recently I figured I'd drop it on the comm. Enjoy. *slinks to bed*

( Sam knew he shouldn't have drunk this much, it always made him so drowsy.Collapse )

Hi all,
I'm hoping for the benefit of your wisdom. My dressmaking skills are definitely improving (my lapped zippers are a thing of beauty, I tell ya!), but I still find hemming tricky. For a straight-cut skirt, no problem, but for fuller skirts and dresses, where the hem of the garment is curved, how do you get a nice crisp edge to your hem? And how do you get the hem to sit flat, without puckers or bumps where the slightly larger volume of the turned-up bit won't quite fit? Is there a secret that I'm missing? Some ingenious trick that other people know but I don't? Do I just need to iron the hell out of the hems? Would interfacing them help? Can I clip the turned-up bits to help them sit better? Or make actual little darts every few inches to take in the extra fabric and allow me to use a straight line in between them? Should I give up and use rolled hems on everything? How do you make your hems behave themselves?

I have Plans™ to make a stuffed-animal-sized version of The Scarf for a friend's bear (he has one, but it's just inkjet fabric, and I want him to have a proper scarf). I've got the pattern sussed, but I'm now wondering: Do I make it with embroidery floss, as I'd originally been thinking, or do I try and find crochet cotton in all the right colors?

EDIT: Thanks for the advice, everyone. I picked up Size 5 pearl cotton on my way home this evening, and have started working up a roughly 1/4 scale version of the Whovian Times pattern on Size 1 needles (of which there are a disturbing number in my late great-grandmother's collection...). My tension is rather haphazard, but I'm certain the recipient (and his human) will be happy with it. I'll be certain to post pictures when I'm done.

Bleeding Cool and i09 have uncovered new details relating to the recent rumours of missing episodes of Doctor Who being found. They relate to Phil Morris, who has devoted himself to searching for lost Doctor Who episodes and appeared in a Radio 4 show in 2009 talking about it, having found and shipped over 3 tons worth of BBC tapes from abroad, which include some lost episodes of Doctor Who.
The BBC have issued a statement neither confirming nor denying. I imagine, if true, there might be some negotiations going on, what with Morris probably wanting to sell the whole 3 tons to the BBC and the BBC probably wanting to catalogue the whole shipment and buy only what they need. I'll just be here, freaking out, while they take their time to sort things out.

EDIT: Radio Times with clarification and denial from the BBC:

“There are always rumours and speculation about Doctor Who missing episodes being discovered - however we cannot confirm any new finds,” a statement says.
Can’t confirm? What does that mean? Does this meant that it may be true but they can’t confirm or that the can’t confirm because they have no information to this effect? Can they not confirm because it isn’t true?
“We can’t confirm because it’s not true as far a I’m aware,” the spokeswoman adds.
But are they talking to Morris? Or anyone with lost episodes.
“I don’t think so?”
So there are no episodes?
“Not as far as we know.”
So there we have it.

Blimey, getting a straight answer from them is like pulling teeth.

A new Radio Free Skaro episode!:



The Doctor Who rumour mill was in full blown chaos this week with Twelfth Doctor casting rumours giving way to tales of hoards of missing episodes being recovered. The Two Who Rule (Chris managed to escape the mongering of said rumours) neatly sidestepped harmless (or harmful) speculation by delving into talk of the future of the film industry and 3D TV and its relation to Doctor Who. But Chris returns (and Warren departs) to talk to Neil Perryman, dear friend and author who is writing the upcoming Adventures of the Wife in Space book, based on his hugely successful blog. Listen on!

Hey Tennant fandom! As dedicated watchers and fandomers and ficcers, I bet you've probably seen what I've seen in the Doctor Who fandom, which is a humungous variety of fic, everything from the massive plotty to the short and smutty. because there are so many wonderful characters and an immense amount of canon to take advantage of. What I adore most about this fandom is the insane amount of creativity, and what I love most about the show is the fact that anything can happen, be it outrageous or everyday. And that's where badsexfest comes in.

The Doctor's Daughter is a free iTunes download in the UK for father's day.
EDIT: Still currently available for free on Monday 17th.

50th Anniversary Fanwork-a-thon-a-thon, Round Seven: Five

(Secondary prompt: "Minor" Characters)

The Six-themed sixth round continues, but already signups have begun for the next in who_at_50's series of monthly fanwork-a-thons counting down to the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. Five is the Doctor we're looking at this month, the boyish cricketer who thought there ought to be another, better way, but was continually reminded by the uncaring early-80s universe that there wasn't, really. And in homage to the legendary who_like_giants ficathons of years past, our secondary theme is "minor" characters; all of those one-off heroes and villains, aliens and ordinary folk, who the Doctor has crossed paths (and occasionally swords) with over the years, some of them becoming fan-favourites in their own right. If you like Doctor Who fanwork even a little bit, I urge you to take the time to look at the signup posts on the comm...and if you so desire, indicate your interest in taking part:

The Dreamwidth Version

Hi everyone. I'm sure we've all seen the (very attractive!) reissues of a selection of Who books. I have a young nephew who's recently got into the show, and I was thinking of getting him a few books for his upcoming thirteenth birthday. Thing is, I was an adult when I read all those books, and I find it hard to judge whether a thirteen year old would enjoy them. Are there any members here who read them as kids, or who have given them to their children, who might be able to advise which are good ones to get? I was also thinking about the reissued Targets, but a lot of them are aimed at a younger audience of course.

Any advice would be great. Thank you. :)

Who Are You Supposed To Be? is a love letter to being a fan of movies and television, a fan of science fiction and fantasy, a fan of being who you are and sometimes pretending you’re somebody else just for the hell of it.

Tickets are on sale now.

These characters are fans of Doctor Who, but this is a universal story of two people meeting – two people from other sides of the world finding out they have so much in common, but can’t agree on who would win in a fight between Batman and Captain America.

This show is very close to my heart - and the characters are very real to me. Ash, our female lead, is dressed as the Fifth Doctor. Gene, our male lead, approaches her and jokes, "Who are you supposed to be?" They're at a convention, surrounded by cosplayers, who does he think she's meant to be? Who is he?

The show is a comedy, a romantic comedy, but also it's about anxiety, it's about fitting in - and it's about Doctor Who fandom. It's a universal story about how we represent ourselves - and sometimes misrepresent ourselves - when we meet someone for the first time.

And it's also about whether the Doctor could be a woman. So, it's topical! (Even though I started writing it last year.)

But we need your help to make the show amazing, so we're running a fundraising campaign at Indiegogo.

Our costumes need to be amazing. Our publicity needs to be amazing. And our venue is amazing, but expensive.

If you're in the UK and thinking of travelling to the Edinburgh Fringe, a certain level of reward will give you a ticket to the show. Plus a postcard and an annotated copy of the script!

If you're in the UK and not going to the Fringe, any extra money will go to touring the show. (If you're in Australia - Melbourne or Adelaide - look out for it next year, and help out now if you can! We're offering cheap tickets to those shows if you donate now.)

If you're elsewhere in the world, please consider helping out our little Doctor Who-themed show. As part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations, we'd like this World Premiere Comedy get the best reception it can - and donations will help to publicise it far and wide.

And who knows? If we raise lots and lots of money - and the show does really well, we might be able to tour the show even further afield.

DONATE NOW! We'll love you forever.

BUY TICKETS NOW! We'll love you forever, and see you in time.

We're now just a little over halfway through my 50th Anniversary countdown of aggregated poll results for Doctor Who Books, TV Serials & Audio Dramas, at number 23:

For some odd reason, there never was an official Owen figure, even though he is as much a member of the Torchwood team like Jack, Gwen, Ianto and Tosh. There was supposed to be a figure for wave 3 and some lucky people have seen it at a fair, but it never got made, since the character died at the end of season 2. My figures always felt incomplete and I got tired of trying to find excuses why Owen would not be in my action figure picture stories. So I created my own Owen! At the link you will find some step-by-step pictures about how I made him.

Pictures of how I made Owen can be found under this link
