Quick heads' up to everyone. Go check out neifile7's glorious Jack backstory Calypso, which traces Jack's adventures after the Doctor abandons Jack on the gamestation and he crashlands into 19th c. Cardiff. It fills in oh-so-many canonical gaps that you probably never realised you were dying to see expanded upon, and captures Jack's voice in a way that ( Read more... )

I've been reading some of the wonderful stories in this year's remixredux09. My only complaint is that there are so many of them that I'm sure I'm missing out on some gems. But so far in my reading I've come across some lovely stories that you should all read. Go and give these authors some love, because they deserve it ( Read more... )

But I do come bearing more Torchwood recs. Those of you that know me will be unsurprised that I ( Read more... )

I have not commented thus far on the still ongoing conversations that have come to be known as RaceFail 09 for many reasons, but I have been following along. In amongst hate, vitriol and ignorance there has been some fruitful, witty, important, insightful discussion that it has been my honour to engage with. I have been educated and enlightened, ( Read more... )

First off, recs: Resonance Structures by fahye is Doctor Who, Doctor/Master, and gorgeous. A game of chess, science and linguistics, and eternity at your fingertips. On a similar John Simms note, also go read Life on Earth by ariafic which is a Doctor Who/Life on Mars crossover which speaks to all the dark and joyful places of my brain-- Sam Tyler can hear the ( Read more... )
