Yesterday goldy_dollar and I saw "Up". It was very cute and I cried, which was probably a positive step towards convincing Frances I am not a Cylon. The talking dogs were the best part but I accept that because talking dogs are AWESOME. Whatever, princess movies, 101 Dalmatians ftw. I also took the last possible bus home and during it some creepy drunk old man came on to me. Hurrah! Unfortunately for him he will have to join the queue of creepy old men who want some of this.

I also stole from Frances "The Story of Martha" (self-explanatory) and "Winner Takes All" (Nine and Rose). It occurs to me that the Doctor Who books are kind of very hilarious but only a truly deranged branch of us are brave enough to read them, so I might do some summary/review things for lulz. And for people like lacunaz who want to see Gandhi in the TARDIS but not for the price of $14.50. Also, I just really really like summarising things. I don't know, I have strange passions.

In between all the "PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE AND SAVE THE PLANET" there is one from Martha that is like "I'M MARRYING MICKEY BTW I THINK YOU SHOULD COME TO THE WEDDING", naturally.

And when even that doesn't get him to come to Earth to save the planet... XD

Yeah, I don't know. I mean fanon and what you ship is one thing, but just blatantly ignoring what is obviously canon is another. I always find it interesting when people whine about Rose, because their primary complaint seems to be that she loves the Doctor, and they always fail to acknowledge that, y'know, he loves her too. OH FANDOM.

Pretty much everything thrown at Rose could be equally applied to someone else, really. Except possibly the "lower class" complaints, but anyone who thinks that's a legitimate thing to bitch about is just a classist moron!

AHAHAH SPN. They're like the only ones who can outcrazy us. Of couse HP and Twilight are also quite insane, because apparently I like the crazy fandoms.

HEE, I KNOW. I LOVE MY CRAZY FANDOMS. Sort of. XD

I can' tdecide if I want to invest in audiobooks or not. I don't really like the premise of them. I've heard the Donna ones are good and that kind of intrigues me because hey, moar Donna, but... I dunno.

Not that I know something about this, but Frances might just have a copy of TSR audio on her new mp3 player. Mainly because I gave it to her. XD (She now knows how appalling my music taste is because I didn't take anything off the mp3 player before I gave it to her. Except maybe some Avril Lavigne. XD)

Well, of course not, it's only Martha.

Um, yeah. Fandom hating Rose just makes me like her more, tbh. I don't know when I became so contrary but apparently it happened!

HEE AVRIL. Oh also yesterday I saw the tiny Ten you gave her. It was kind of adorable in a sort of freakish doesn't-really-resemble-David-Tennant way.

*SNORTS* I totally think Ten should go to Martha's wedding, but you know he'd just sit at the back and sulk and ruin it all.

Heh, yeah, I think it's the same with me. Everyone in the D/R corner is so squeeful about Rose that I kind of got infected by their squee. And everyone else being so negative just made me determined to pick up on the WIN and AWESOME.

Gotta love Avril Lavigne! ;-) I can blame that one on my sister, right? (IT'S CATCHY, OK?)

And Tiny Ten is adorable. I've left Wee Weeping Angel (erm.. yes, I'm weird) by my sister's bed so when she arrives back from uni she'll be all OMGWTFISTHAT? Except less freaked out, because Wee Weeping Angel is about as threatening as Dinky Davros.

I totally expect him to hover in the back of the church and then slink out right as the ceremony ends without saying goodbye. What a douche. LIRL

Totally. I shipped it, and in that sense I liked her enough, but I also liked Martha and Donna. It was only once everyone started ranting about she is a HORRIBLE PERSON and WHINY and A HUGE MARY-SUE (omg, rant for another day) that I suddenly felt like I wanted a giant I <3 ROSE banner that I could wave around frantically.

I thought Avril was the shit when I was 13 so not much judging here.

I have a Davros playing card that came with my s4 boxset. I WANT MORE, IT IS HILARIOUS.

Falling in love with the lead male = MARY SUE OMG. DON'T QUESTION THIS, IT IS A RULE OF THE UNIVERSE. OR SOMETHING.

Heh, my sister wrote a Ron/Hermione filk to Sk8r Boi. TOP THAT. XD

HEH. I have three playing card sets - one from s1, one from s2 and one from s3. I don't think there is a s4 one yet, but if I see one...

I DON'T EVEN PLAY CARDS. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?
Kali_thirty2flavors on June 5th, 2009 11:23 pm (UTC)
I never wrote it but I had this fic planned once where they invent a fake alien invasion just to get him to show.

No I'm afraid this is false. It is not this act that is unforgivable, it is the act of MAKING THE MALE LEAD FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU. No one can survive that. It is the female character death sentence.

You may have a problem. To be fair, they don't sell Doctor Who merchandise here so I can't really compare. But I was never into the HP merchandise.

OH YES, HOW SILLY OF ME.

WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH FANDOM LOVES FEMALE CHARACTERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO GET TO BONE THE HERO.

OMG AMAZING. DID RON BECOME A ROCKSTAR.

YES. YES HE DID. I SOMETIMES MISS BEING AN EARLY TEEN, BECAUSE OF ALL THE LULZ IT BROUGHT.

MOSTLY I AM GLAD I AM NOT 14 ANY MORE.

My problem is my student loans and the fact that I can spend them on anything I want to! XD

And I've never been a merch person before DW. I suppose back when HP was my thing, I didn't really have much disposable income. And I've always been a fan of extra books - I have Quidditch through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts, and about six X files books. And I bought the Animatrix DVD. I just like having extra canon. But with DW, I find myself buying the toys as well! XD

HEH. I CAN TOTALLY SEE THAT.

I never wrote it because it meant scary things like having to write Jack, but I still love the image of him stepping out all frantic only to find a bunch of his friends in fancy dress.

OF COURSE. FANDOM'S FAVOURITE.

Man, I never even had the HP ones. Granted, yeah, I didn't have a lot of spendable cash. I dunno, I've never been much of an action figure person. I mean, as a kid yeah, but not since then.

BWAH. Jack is sometimes oddly difficult to write. I mean, you have to find innuendo in EVERYTHING, which is one thing, but if you want to give him any deeper characterisation you inevitably get reminded of JB's CRYING OF AWESOME (or at least, I do... XD) and can no longer take it seriously.

OF COURSE. FANDOM'S FAVOURITE.

I don't get it, really. I mean, say I wanted to shag Ten, self inserting myself as Rose is WAY EASIER than creating some other character. And Rose is more awesome than I am, so yeah... XD

I have no concept of saving money. Eventually I will go bankrupt.
Kali: partners in crime_thirty2flavors on June 5th, 2009 11:54 pm (UTC)
I avoid Jack. I've written like two lines of Jack and they were awful and I have no desire to repeat that adventure. I'm not particularly fond of Jack, I don't really "get" Jack, and I just don't really want to write Jack. I dunno.

It doesn't make a lot of sense. I dunno. I'm pretty sure there's a lot of people who like Martha and Donna but wouldn't if the Doctor had wanted ot hit that. I mean, not to say that that's the only reason people like Martha and Donna, but in general I think that's part of it.

I am very, very cheap.
Opal: TCI: That wayshinyopals on June 6th, 2009 12:04 am (UTC)
*Considers* In my published fic, I've had Jack... feature. And that's about it. I've had him play a bigger part in stuff I haven't published but mostly because he would be there, as opposed to because I particularly want to write Jack. Although before s4, my TARDIS OT3 of choice was the Doctor, Rose and Jack. But Torchwood made him a douche and then we got Donna, who is a zillion times more awesome.

There's a lot of hate from the Classic Who fans, who can't deal with the idea that the Doctor MIGHT ACTUALLY FANCY SOMEONE. BLESS THEM. They're like David Tennent. Except less endearing and more whiny.

And I'm cheap in some respects - I've been wearing flipflops tied together with elastic for months now. But I buy and hoard DW merch! XD

EDIT: In light of our previous conversation, my sister has just reminded me that as well as Weasley Boi, she also wrote one about the Longbottoms ('why do you have to go and keep getting me sedated?') and a Britney Spears song about Harry ('he's so plucky... got a scar'). Don't tell me: AWESOME. XD

Kali: does it need saying?_thirty2flavors on June 6th, 2009 12:12 am (UTC)
I didn't care much for Jack and then he went on Torchwood an I stopped caring for him at all. Of the Team TARDISes we've actually witnessed I think I'm partial to Mickey, Ten and Rose, possibly just because Mickey and Ten crack me up. Hypothetically I think I'd like Donna/Martha/Ten or Donna/Rose/Ten, but we didn't really get to see iether of those in action since Martha was always busy being cloned/playing with Hath and JE was kind of ... everyone at once.

Yeah I see that around too. It cracks me up, I guess because i'd never been exposed to Classic Who in any form, so I didn't know this whole asexual madness until I started hearing it in fandom. What makes me laugh is that whatever the canon in that regard might have been that's clearly not what it is now.

LIRL FLIPFLOPS AND ELASTIC, EXCELLENT. I just tend to not buy anything at all until I direly need some.

SO AWESOME! Oh, songfic. I don't think I will ever stop laughing at "The Doctor and I".
