thirty2flavors

Title: A Matter of Time (1/2)
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Ten2/Rose, an assortment of Tylers, eventual alt!Donna and Jake, Ten and proper!Donna ver. flashback
Genre: Humour and angst, with a bit of emphasis on the angst
Spoilers?: Through 4x13
Summary: Tony's eighth birthday party forces the Doctor to consider something he hadn't before.
Excerpt: Until earlier that day, he’d never considered the possibility any more than one considers the chance of rain a thousand miles away. Now it seemed obvious, and on top of it all he felt stupid as well as panicked.

Author's Note: This one I get to blame on goldy_dollar, who insisted I write it after reading a one-sentence summary in that "five things of personal canon" meme. Also, she bribed me with coffee, so obviously it's her fault. This slots into the Gingerbread 'verse, but aside from some allusions there's nothing too crucial to know.

( a matter of time )

Title: Rest & Relaxation
Rating: PG
Characters/Pairings: Donna, Ten
Genre: Gen, with hints of fluff and angst. And humour, but it's Donna and the Doctor, so... y'know, duh.
Spoilers?: Set shortly after "Midnight" (4x10)
Summary: The Doctor has a headache.
Excerpt: “You heard me. You want to wear a track in the floor, do it somewhere else. God knows the ship’s big enough.” She lifts her book with both hands and waves it back and forth. “I’ve got good aim, you know.”

Author's Note: In my head this fic takes place a little after Extraordinary, which is immediately post-ep, but I don't reference anything specific, so it's not really neccessary to read that first.

Title: Wait 'Til You Read Book Seven
Rating: G
Characters/Pairings: Ten2/Rose, Tony, Jackie
Genre: Humour
Summary: In which _thirty2flavors offends everybody ever. The Doctor discovers a horrifying difference between that first universe and Pete's World.

Author's Note: Ages back when this scandal broke, I had a discussion with bazcat89 that ultimately led to this. I would say none of the opinions reflected in this piece are my own, but that's not strictly true. I guess you'll just have to guess which ones. That said, I don't actually intend to offend anybody, this is just for lulz.

( oh, i cried )

Title: you can't
Rating: PG for angst?
Characters/Pairings: Ten(/Rose)
Spoilers?: For "Doomsday" and "Journey's End".
Genre: Angst
Summary/Exceprt: The last thing the fabric of reality needs is an impatient Time Lord poking holes in it because he misses a single human girl.

Author's Note: Truthfully this is my not-quite-subtle response to something I see a lot in fanfiction that's never quite gelled with me. Also, because clearly writing post-Doomsday angst is a rite of passage that I had not yet performed as a Doctor/Rose author.

( you can't )

Title: Of Walking Through Dust, and Impossible Things
Characters/Pairings: Donna Noble, a dash of the Doctor and a side of just about everyone else.
Rating: PG
Genre: Gen
Spoilers: Through 4x13
Summary/Exceprt: Everyone asks where she’s been, lately, and Donna finds herself saying “the usual” so many times she wonders if it might be better to get it tattooed on her forehead.

In other news, my two days of Lame are over, yay!

So a while ago it came to my attention that contrary to what I'd previously believed, I'd never actually seen the last five or so episodes of Arrested Development. ...Which explained why I never had any idea how the show ended.

Anyway, with the help of HotSpot I watched what I missed on Hulu, and if I may say so:

I TOTALLY FORGOT HOW AWESOME THIS SHOW IS BUT NOW I AM ASHAMED THAT I FORGOT. WHY IS IT SO AWESOME? The finale was basically everything I wanted and more. It's... I love them all. I don't have time to be more elaborate because I need to go to class, but still. This was the first television show I started actually watching, and I think it just reclaimed its title as my favourite sitcom. Sorry Office/Scrubs/HIMYM, it was my first love.

Re: the entire movide debacle, I don't know if a movie is a good idea or not but I'd definitely see it. And if Michael Cera actually is holding out, what a diva, it's not like he doesn't play George Michael in every wannabe-indie movie he's in.

...Which I Have Established With Various Sources, Including callmepatsy and bazcat89:

• Dwight Schrute runs a serious, discussion-oriented Harry Potter livejournal community with Edward Cullen.
  
• Generally they disagree on most things, though; Dwight is in it for the plot, but Edward is in it for the shipping.
  
• ...Edward leaves the community after the release of The Half-Blood Prince, because Ron is lewd, foul-mouthed and disrespectful of women, and Ginny is a tart. One is not meant to have so many relations prior to finding one's soulmate.
  
• The Doctor was banned from this community early on due to his tendency to "accidentally" post spoilers.
  
• ...sometimes several books early.
  
• In his anger and defiance of rules, he also got Martha's account banned. Martha was more upset over the fact that he might find her filtered entries in which she complains about his wangsting over Rose.
  
• The Doctor and Edward become fast friends during series 3/New Moon.
  
• ...even though they each think the other is a whiny, emo bitch.
  
• The Master intentionally posts spoilers without cuts. For everything. All the time.
  
• Dwight discredits all of these spoilers as "ridiculous" and "impossible" and "an insult to the writers". When they turn out to be true, a small part of his soul dies.
  
• The Master is this guy. He wears this shirt to the major releases of all the movies involved. M Night Shyamalan is his favourite director.
  
• Most importantly, the Master leaked Midnight Sun.
  

Discuss.

So happy new year, all that good stuff. While I personally am not totally excited for 2009 in any real way, well, at least this way it probably won't disappoint me!

Mostly I am posting this for the benefit of people like bazcat89 who, unlike me, may not have a plethora of Doctor Who fans on their flist who have already posted this: They're announcing Eleven tomorrow!

Which I guess means if you're placing any bets you should probably do that now. Personally I'm pulling for Billie Piper, because nothing says love like stealing someone's body.
