Wow, y'all. Children of Time winners have been announced, and my stories are among them! The Illyria series is runner-up for the AU category, and "Path of Needles" won for Rose Tyler. I am absolutely thrilled by this news, especially given the extraordinarily high quality of the other nominated fics. I knew people liked these stories, but this was unexpected, especially PoN's win in a category with so many brilliant fics. I am off to go give my Oscar speech to the mirror or something like that.

Congratulations to all the winners! I was pleased to see so many fics I adore on the list (and I'm happy that there will be another round in April to give another chance to some of the fabulous fics that didn't win this time).

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.

Chapter 1: Once Upon a Time, In a Far Off Kingdom
Rose sets out. Meanwhile, the Doctor is asked to tell a story.

Current Music: prologue from "Into the Woods"

*sigh*

I wait to watch DW until it shows on American TV here so I can call my dad afterwards to talk about it. He doesn't like the idea of illegally downloading stuff, and I'm not sure if my parents' elderly computer could even handle it. He's my RL Who buddy, and I want to be on the same schedule as him. Watching ahead would feel unfair. However, reading LJ right now makes my resolve really hard to keep. I shall be strong!

Meanwhile, my brain has been hijacked by an unusually aggressive plot bunny. I finally gave in and started to write it when it promised to be short. It has not, of course, kept its promise, but at least it is coming along fairly quickly on the me scale. It's not Illyria (I've written quite a bit of the next Illyria story, but it acts like it's being written by ents: not hastily.) However, the work in progress that's actually progressing has Rose attempting to get back to her home universe and ending up lost in the woods. While carrying a basket of cookies. And wearing red. Bad Wolf exacerbates my natural tendency to fangirl fairy tales in a ridiculously obvious manner. There's even a short appearance by Jack riding a white horse.
