First, there's a fun multifandom ficathon going on write now.

You should all head over to check out the fascinating prompts and maybe fill some or leave some of your own.

While over there, I accidentally a Bad Wolf Rose ficlet. (Predictable, I know. I am a one-and-a-half trick pony regarding fanfic.) It's rather darker than my usual take on the Bad Wolf theme, and also unbeta-ed and written in second person, so enter at your own risk. But hey, I wrote something!

Second, I watched the Doctor Who S9 opener, "The Magician's Apprentice" and actually liked it a good deal. The opener was marvelously creepy. While it had a lot going on, it lacked the "throw everything in the pot whether it goes together or not" quality of some of Moffat's episodes.

Peter Capaldi and Michelle Gomez are just so good in their roles. I can't decide if the failure to explain HOW the Master survived is wonderful or maddening, but I'm mostly on the side of wonderful. An explanation would just have been meaningless fantasy-technobabble anyway. I loved the little glimpse of Four in "Genesis of the Daleks." The "axe" fight and early introduction of the word "dude" amused me. Of course a lot will depend on the resolution this week. Moffat's frequent failure to allow lasting consequences could really mess up the themes of accountability and long-term grudges that the first episode set up.

Welcome to my humble corner of the internet! Here there be geeking out about Doctor Who, Sherlock, biology, books, and whatever else has caught my eye at the moment.

If you're here looking for fannish things (fic, recs, meta, general squee or ranting, etc.), those are mostly posted publicly. Posts about my personal life are pretty much always friendslocked. You can feel free to add me or unfriend at will. A comment introducing yourself would be a nice gesture, but don't feel obligated if you're shy. I may or may not add you back depending on how I'm feeling that day on the social vs. crotchety scale and whether we have interests in common. It's not a personal judgment.

I am also on Tumblr.

Occasionally, I write fanfic. You can check out my author pages on AO3 or A Teaspoon and an Open Mind (for Doctor Who fic). Here's the complete list, organized by fandom, then series, then chronologically (oldest to most recent).

( Fic Index )

My muse has sadly been in a state of deep hibernation for quite some time. However, it recently occurred to me that I never bothered to publicly own up to a little fragment of Sherlock crack I wrote for the kink meme many moons ago (original thread here). The prompt was Sherlock and Moriarty duel with ~~banjos~~ fancy violins. My response is a bit of doggerel set to the tune to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." If you aren't familiar with the song, go listen because otherwise my parody will seem even more nonsensical than it already is.

This is un-betaed and utterly ridiculous. I apologize in advance for abuses to rhyme and meter, especially the part where I rhyme "umbellas" with "oh hell yes." I should probably be much more ashamed of that than I am.

I posted this story a few days ago at

wintercompanion for their "Identity" challenge (here), but I forgot to post a link from this journal. Now that the challenge is closed, I'm reposting here for archival purposes and to give interested friends who don't read that community a chance to see it.

Title: Hijacked Regeneration (1/1)
Rating: Teen
Characters/Pairings: Eleven/Jack, Twelve (yes, Twelve)/Jack, Jack/surprise other recurring character
Spoilers: Through "The End of Time"
Warnings: The Jack/surprise pairing may require brain bleach for the more sensitive. Non-explicit sex and lots of innuendo. Crack. Regeneration in the name of crack.
Summary: When Eleven regenerates in Jack’s arms, Jack finds out the reason the Doctor has avoided him during regenerations. There’s something different about the Twelfth Doctor, or should that be something a little too familiar?
Author’s Notes: Many thanks and virtual cookies to

wendymr for the fantastic, speedy beta service.

Yes, I am killing Eleven before he has even two minutes onscreen. For that and much more, I am so, so sorry. Please assume that Eleven has had a long and mostly happy life. Jack, while he has not exactly lived on the slow path between the 21st century and the 94th, has experienced more than enough time to make the events of CoE no longer at the forefront of his mind.

*sigh* I'm not particularly interested in getting into Heroes fandom beyond just watching the show and rambling about it a bit. However, after the season finale, this little scene wouldn't stop bugging me until I committed Heroes fic. So here it is, if anyone cares.

Author's Note: Look, the aggressive plot bunny that attacked months ago has finally resulted in fic! This is not part of my Illyria series. Expect something different. The Doctor's sections begin in the interval between "Runaway Bride" and "Smith & Jones" and continue through the end of S3, going AU after that. My marvelous beta readers

dark_aegis and

wendymr improved this story immeasurably! You can also read this story on Teaspoon if you prefer.

Author's Note: Although I am aware of a certain guest star, I have not yet seen any episodes in Torchwood series 2. Anyone leaving S2 spoilers in the comments will be fed to Weevils. Thanks for understanding!
