OK, I'm going to try to write this today b/c tomorrow of course I will disappear for as long as it takes, and I sure as hell won't be going online until I'm done

*hugs you for the warm, cuddly feelings triggered by this post*
And you know what? Those mix tapes are back :) I've been successfully lured into the addiction that is the new Doctor Who (tho, I'm not so sure how much is Eccleston/Piper/Tennant squeeage and how much seduction by Russel T. Davies queerness) - and (usually hidden behind f-locks and cuts) people are not only making vids and fics but also "Fanmixes".
Just like the best of the old tapes a fanmix comes with a lovingly designed cover and tho it's usually mp3s, its length usually fits a traditional wav audio CD.
It seems the doctor really connects us through time and space ;)
As for Q-Squared: It's definitely Q-Squee :) I'm still a sucker for "mirror" stories and Trelane / Q comes quite close to that kind of character exploration.
I have a couple of CD's in progress, but they're not fannish. One is called "Covered," and it will have songs performed by the original artist, followed by a cover--IF the cover is good/different enough to redefine the song and make it the performer's.
The other one I want to make is basically a lullaby CD--songs quiet enough to have on when I'm napping--I'm tired of the limited collection I have.
And I have a CD I love that I made a few years ago called "My Mistress' Eyes/Love Lies Bleeding" that was inspired when I got my copy of this CD came out. My mix basically had a few of the sonnets from "When Love Speaks," a couple songs from the OMWF soundtrack and then a whole random mix of songs I like but don't generally listen to the whole album, or songs I bought individually from iTunes. It has things on from New Order's"Bizarre Love Triangle" to Elvis' "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" to Tracy Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" to The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar." The first track is Alan Rickman reading "My Mistress'
