Ooh, this looks fun!

'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. Treats can be anything that strikes my fancy (pics of fave actors or pairings, one sentence fics, graphics, a few words why I'm glad to have you on my flist, etc. etc.). The more "houses" to visit the

Ooh, trick or treat!

[justice_turtle]

Ooh, this is hard - I just linked you all those fics a bit ago. Hm. I know: music! :D

Here, have a video of the most awesome operatic tenor I know, singing a wonderful (if very sad) Irish protest song. As a matter of fact, if you're between artists at the moment, you might want to listen to EVERYTHING HE EVER SANG (his name is Frank Patterson), for he was amazing. Sadly, most of his best songs are not on YouTube... :-( But here is Memory from "Cats", on which he was epic.

Haha, this is a cool thing. Trick or treat!

[justice_turtle]

Sorry about the delay - I unexpectedly spent all of today in bed. (Feeling much better, thanks.)

Here, have some Classic-Who-related pictures!

Jon Pertwee on an elephant, I have no idea why:

[neveralarch]

I'm glad you're feeling better! And that is an amazing Pertwee picture that I hadn't seen before. I wonder how/why he got up there...

[eponymous_rose]

Eee, awesome! Trick or treat!

[justice_turtle]

Hm, this is hard; so many of the awesome things in our shared fandoms are things you've pointed me at.

Um - let's see! I guess I'll just throw fic-recs at this comment and see if anything sticks. XD

I did a fic-recs comment for sophia_sol a bit ago; I'm not sure if you saw it, but all the things in it are awesome, and given our similar tastes in fandoms, you'd probably like at least some of them.

Also: I do not know if you are familiar with the "This Time Round" Who-'verse (it is an exceedingly cracky place wherein all the characters exist outside continuity, Adric gets killed a lot, and there is a daycare with mini-versions of all the characters), but the one where Jamie reads the mini!characters Macbeth must be seen to be appreciated. It is in my opinion THE BEST. XD (Also, Nine as MacDuff! *loves*)

And! Because I seem to recall a slightly derailed conversation in which you had not heard of cakefic: please read Topping! by lost_spook. In which the Tenth Doctor falls into a cake baked by Delgado!Master, the Third Doctor is snippy and dignified, and

*squeaks*

Sorry (I was only here replying to dbskyler) but then I saw this! TTR! I mean, I have fallen from the path of meta Outside Reality fic-writing (I was not being anonymous enough, among other things), but I kind of asked John to write that (well, I dropped Hints and sulked a bit), and you are right: it's the best Storytime ever. I stopped telling people that, because they usually just don't get TTR or Storytime. So excuse me squeaking at that.

And then you went and recced a story of mine in the same comment, and, I actually kind of thought you didn't like any of my fics. (Which is a perfectly valid thing: I'm not even sure I like a lot of them. I torture innocent sentences to death much too frequently.)

:-D

'I actually kind of thought you didn't like any of my fics.'

Hrm! This is bad. I do have a terrible habit of not reviewing, but I like quite a few of your fics, yes. You might also like to take a look at that fic-recs comment I linked, for the person I was reccing to asked for (among other things) Doctor Who, Swallows & Amazons, Georgette Heyer, and Jane Austen, and I was like "ooh, I know an author you are going to LOVE!!!"

Also I picked "Topping" because I think it is honestly the best of the cakefics, though that didn't make it into the comment. It is the one I always think of when I think of cakefic. So. *nods*

*is in a hurry, so apologies for any typos / misspeaking*

Trick-or-treat! And look, Eleven's wearing a fez. That's kind of like a costume, right? :D

[justice_turtle]

A fez makes an ordinary outfit into a costume. *so decrees* XD (What it does to Eleven's outfit I am not sure... *g*)

Now I'm wishing I could post screencaps of John de Lancie in a fez, but I have none. (My ability to take screencaps of things is limited, and nobody else has ever screencapped Legend, afaik.)

So, erm - here! Have a build-it-yourself cardstock TARDIS. (I could have sworn there was a rather frightening box-headed Brigadier as well, but I can't seem to find him... I'm really running out of Awesome Things To Post. That I can find. o_O)

Also more random Patrick Troughton. I seem to have quite the collection of non-Who Troughton pics, compared to the amount of telly I've seen him on (two serials, plus a burninated on CD).

[dbskyler]

Oooh, thank you! A make-your-own TARDIS! I'm tempted to use a really, really big piece of cardboard just in case it will work when assembled. *g*

And wow, yes, random Patrick Troughton is indeed random. And also awesome.
