Ask every person if he's heard the story...

Gosh....I just happened to go on my Profile page and saw I'd got loads of shiny vgifts! I didn't realise so many people still remembered me, let alone liked me! For some reason I didn't get notified of any of them so belated thanks to you all.

Andkalleah - I only wish something would inspire me. I'm liking DW right now but very much in a meta rather than ( Read more... )

doctor who, myth

Or .. You could just sit down and force yourself to write some really awesome Ten/Rose :D That would be pretty awesome! :P

There are some very good essays in that book. I've dipped in and out of it quite a lot but yesterday I made myself go back to the beginning and read it "properly" ;-)

But I did read the essay that you've quoted here - and that last one really was just perfect.

(jaw drops, both for the essay and your use of it) WOW. Well, okay, you've sold me a copy of that book. Also, I really love the smart, literary DW observations that you've made throughout your LJ...may I friend you so I can more easily keep an eye on them?

I'm honoured. Friend away.

Yes! "Regeneration X" was my favorite essay out of the many strong contenders in Chicks Dig Time Lords. It wise as well as beautiful, and it does a magnificent job summing up why Doctor Who can pull on the soul so strongly.

/oh look, I know that name

Cat Valente is a writer steeped in marchen and mythos and the hero cycle and all that, and her other stuff is just as lovely, quite honestly.

Her other books are just as amazing (if not, imho, more so) than her non-fiction meta. And, if you're the sort that likes a little music with your writing, S.J. Tucker collaborates with Cat on several albums featuring readings from the books and music that's either in the books or that goes with it.

(Though I suppose I should put the disclaimer that my opinion on all these folks is colored by knowing them, but. Anyway.)

Lucky you! That must be an address book worth having.
