So in a half-hearted attempt to try and make my books fit on the shelves (I am being SO GOOD and actually removing ones that I'm pretty sure I'm never going to read or I read and hated, even so, still stuck with a couple of hundred Doctor Who books that I am mostly hrrm at) I found the The Thick of It, The Missing DoSAC (I bet I've got that ( Read more... )

1. Doctor Who toymakers, WHAT IS THIS?! I don't know what to think about it. On one hand, there is goo and goo is awesome, on the other there's a wee "collect all the parts!" sign where "all the parts" is the decapitated head and disembodied limbs of the Doctor.

2. jigglykat made awesome fanart of Madame Vastra and Jenny. I am going to PESSIMISTICALLY ( Read more... )

I have been doing this meme SO WELL. That is how FULL OF JOY I am, anyway:

1. Post about something that made you happy today, even if it's just a small thing.

2. Do this every day for eight days.

Due to skipping of like a week, here be more than one thing:

1 - PETER CUSHING'S HEAD. Omg. Someone has made Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin's head ( Read more... )

One of my favourite things about halfamoon is that there tend to be some lovely massively multifannish vids each year. This year there are three ridiculously shiny things, all looking at their subject from a slightly different angle. All are recced most heartily:

Advance by fly_to_dawn
Tightrope by such_heights
She's A Rebel by kaydeefalls

I am Somewhat Unable to adequately express my Utter Glee at some of the latest Who spoilers that I totally accidently saw (I've been very good at avoiding spoilers, yes, so this is the only thing I know about that isn't in the season six trailer.) BULLETPROOF NARRATIVE KINK, DUDES. This episode (mouseover is spoilery, yo) can be as cack as bloody ( Read more... )

Festivids! Vids! Dozens and dozens of vids! They are all here, kindly arranged by fandom, here are some what I loved:

Tik-Tok (Back to the Future trilogy) - Cheeringness! This is awfully good fun and made me laugh out loud a fair few times thanks to some awesomely timed edits, and maybe I danced, or bopped in my chair a bit, that is probably ( Read more... )

So I was sort of vaguely aware of there being a new Pirates of the Caribbean film and thought "yay" for I am Quite Fond of Jack Sparrow, but "boo" for I knew there was no Elizabeth Swann and she is almost my favourite. NOBODY EVER MENTIONED THERE WAS GEOFFREY RUSH OMG THERE IS GEOFFREY RUSH. There is going to be shiny, shiny new Barbossa!

Mostly I ( Read more... )

I watched vids, lovely vids; here are lovely vids that made me v happy:

Apocalypse Lullaby by icepixie (Babylon 5) - A lovely ensemble piece that is all elegant and nostalgia-inducing and swoopingly epic. It is about many people and also the station and evokes Much Fannish Glee.

Unsound by fan_eunice (Smallville) - ZOD! This is about Zod, lovely Zod. Who is Callum ( Read more... )

It is possible I have spent a large chunk of today watching vids. Here are some recs:

I Can't Hear The Music by settiai Deep Space Nine - A Kai Winn character vid and it is gorgeous. Winn's a brilliant character, brilliantly played, and this manages to encapsulate her complexity and is a sympathetic and powerful look at the conflict between her faith and ( Read more... )

Today I VERY ACCIDENTLY saw bits of the Ianto Jones Sherlock Holmes film. It wasn't my fault: Syfy AMBUSHED ME. (Also, Sci-fi changed to SyFy here too and oh it makes me sad, also less likely to watch their telly since I can't stand the horrid y-ness in the corner of the screen.) Anyway, to my surprise and horror, Ianto didn't appall me. I mean, he ( Read more... )
