Yes! Someone else who thinks Sophia Myles is exquisite! I use that word to describe fairly often when defending her from the scary teenagers obsessed with David Tennant.

In any case, I am commenting.

Sophia Myles is fabulous, and it is very scary when the wee insane-fangirls write about her being run over by a truck. (Or suchlike. There was actually a fic about how Sophia was run over and in the meantime DT discovered his true and undying love for Billie Piper; it was frightening.)

[last_archangel]

Oh Lord, that's heinous. I am horrified by that.

[ressie_noldo]

I know, it really was rather horrific! It's sort of like 'well, dear fanbrat, how would you like it if I, say, wrote a fic in which I bumped you off so I could shag your boyfriend?'.

(Actually, that sort of comment was made. I believe the response was "But it's just fiction!")

DA-LEKS DO NOT SHIP. DA-LEKS HAVE NO USE FOR SHIP-PING AND DO NOT UN-DER-STAND ITS PUR-POSE (THOUGH THEY SEE SOME CHARM IN PAUL MC-GANN THIS IS TRUE).

Anyway. Yes. I love portmanteau words (& more than that, I love the word 'portmanteau' which is pretty) and, erm. Stuff!

[faeriemaiden]

I'm not sure whether to be amused or disturbed by the word 'charm' issuing from the mouth (speaker? er...talky bit?) of a Dalek. 'HE-LLO MR. MC-GANN. MY RACE FINDS YOU QUITE CHAR-MING.'

You two have just MADE MY DAY. :D :D :D

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell = <3!

I want to play!

[faeriemaiden]

I need to re-read it forthwith. I never know a book properly when I've only read it once, and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is the sort of book that needs to be read several times over before one even begins to completely comprehend it. :D

daleks do ship: I cannot disagree with this. Daleks do ship. Or rather, apparently, Daleks ship on video with people for money.

This is why conventions are scary, scary places. The friend who discovered it for sale backed away very, very swiftly.

portmanteau words : I think my favourate portmanteau word ever was one that my father and I coined whilst waiting outside a shoe-and-handbag shop in which my mother and sister ensconced themselves for over half an hour: we came up with 'abdominable', which means, roughly, 'so terrible that it makes your stomach hurt'. :D

(And, as it happens, I used one for genre today, although a book rather than music; I was attempting to categorise Mortal Engines, and having ruled out fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk and cyperbunk, I eventually decided to call it cogpunk. It is made of win.)
