In honor of All Hallow's Eve, I'm inviting trick-or-treaters to my 'door.' Comment "trick-or-treat" to this post and...well, you know the drill.

Also, this makes me think of you now, even if it is not your era of DW: "For some people, small, beautiful things are what life is all about." (It's the icons.)
(Some of the quotes make sense, some are just for the words, some because they amuse me & they're mainly from things I've randomly collected at some point.)

And by what witchery in the western hills
A throne stands empty for a thousand years.
The trees looked more than ever like sulky phantoms, obliged by an unkind spell to linger shivering out there in the wet.
"I'm undefined, that's my trouble. I like to think of myself as a shady, rather mysterious figure about the household, but I'm not, I'm not. I'm just the general dogsbody."
From witty men and mad
All poetry conception had
"We would not, even if we could, be ostentatiously vulgar."

Two comms:
dianawynnejones (It may not be madly active but it has a LOT of members and anything question, mad theories, what book do I read next posts will get instant responses. There is some fic on there not elsewhere.)
