elisa_rolle who won a goody bag. Sadly those were the only two entrants, so no-one won a signed copy of Standish, an Erastes pen, or the other goody bag!
I'm finally writing again - I wrote 2 thousand words yesterday on Frost Fair but I suddenly realised (stupid of me not to realise sooner) that if (when when when....) Transgressions sells well - Perseus are going to turn around and say "OK, what else do you have ready?" and "er... nothing..." is not exactly the right answer. *smites self* Although Junction X is finished, they are not going to want that, I think - as it's not strictly historical being based in the sixties and it emphatically does not have a HEA.
So if I don't get FF finished, then I can't get on with Fleury, or whatever I'm going to do next.
It was certainly a rip-roaring ride but really - I can't help but think that RTD was guilty of Overkill in a big way (if that's possible) - it just got a bit much for me - Daleks and Davros was quite enough but incorporating just about every character and every device was too too over the top for my taste. I got confused quite early on and never really recovered - did Martha travel in time? I thought the Doctor had disabled Jack's teleport device once before - what was the whole German thing? I adore Donna, always did and always will - that at least was the best thing of the series for me and the ending with her truly mad me cry. I utterly loathed and despised how RTD pandered to the Rose/Doctor shippers - I was so over Rose a long time ago and can't see the attraction there at all.
Why did Gwen and Ianto have a Matrix moment and their bullets froze? What did I miss?
I told you I was confused. Perhaps I just need to watch it again...
