Willkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome  


Hello there! I thought it was time for a kind of Welcome Wagon.

If you recently friended me please comment here and tell me something about yourself and why you think I am interesting enough to be friended. I will friend back almost everyone if we do have something in common or you take the time to actually talk to me. That's what friends do, right?

Friending might take some time because I'm paranoid I like to read people's entries for a while before adding. You really do not miss much, my contributions to fandom and quite random things will always be public, I mostly f-lock the personal stuff.

If you are looking for one of my fics, the Masterlist is here, my wallpapers can all be found here Thank you for your interest! :)

Because of recent trouble I'd like to add that none of my stuff is intended for sale, reproduction or any other kind of public use without my personal assent. I get quite pissed if people use my work without asking me first.

Thank you and welcome to this journal.
 
 
Feeling...: productive

Fic: Stumble in my Footsteps  
Title: Stumble in my Footsteps
Summary: She felt safer when he was around. She had no idea, Jack thought.
Characters: Jack, Rose, Nine
Spoilers: Set somewhere after the Doctor Dances
Rating: PG
Word count: 2499
Notes: Well, as I suppose this will be my last free day before all hell breaks loose again, I can as well get this off my chest. This was betaed by [info]steviesun (thank you so much for your help), all further edits are my own fault. This is a WiP that was originally inspired all the fic which frequently transforms Jack into a nice guy as soon as he entered the TARDIS... I see him a bit different, but I needed more than 20 months (that brought us Torchwood and showed a darker Jack as well) to actually finish this and find the courage to show it to somebody... so I'd be really grateful for any kind of comment telling me if it works/if there're any mistakes left. Be honest, please?? *frets*

Oh, I'd go and squish them now if I had the time and that damn park wasn't so expensive. It's just around the corner, after all.

CUTE OVERLOAD! (Near Dortmund, pffft. Once again we don't exist).

In other news, I have a new stalker. Do I wear a giant sign telling these people to talk to me? Oh, hell. Note to self: Don't take the train at 11:30 anymore.

Off to uni now, wish me luck, I can need it the next week or so *frets*. Anyone still want to enter that book swap? All I managed to find were 2 people, I still need 4 more!

Also I still need a beta for another JE fic... please? I won't have much time writing the next week (see above) and it's eating me up because a) it wants out, but b) is totally generic and c) is probably gibberish anyway :(

LOL  
I rarely link to [info]ihasatardis, but this is just too perfect not to: Journey's End and Farscape Season 3 spoilers
This sums up what I didn't like about 4x13 pretty well. Russel could learn a thing or two from Kemper about these kind of storylines and torturing fans, couldn't he?


ETA: I wrote Donna!fic. Would someone lke to look at 450 words and tell me they're okay/not boring/done a million times by now?
ETA 2: Oh, great, now I wrote Ten/Rose fic, too.

4x13 - Journey's End  
Why am I always so hyped up after episode 12, and then almost lose interest when 13 is finally there? Maybe it's the prospect of no Who until Christmas :/

I had too much fun with certain scenes, while I still have to make my mind up about others )

Who Alarm!  
Finale soon, people! Finale! I'm really, really nervous about this one, so it was quite fitting that the moment I realized that the last episode would air today, my town's disater warning system was tested again. It's quite an adequate sound for how I feel, actually, and I love the sound to bits (especially when those in the vicinity seem to answer)... well, during testing phases, when you hear it in the dead of the night, it's never a good sign :/

I was that close to geek out over my only English customer today. GAH!

ONE HOUR TO GO TO IMMINENT DISASTER! My Spoiler Shelter is open. I have beer and a BBQ, bring more booze.

Remember that 'I love the whole world' commercial they had going? [info]hllangel made a vid, and it's totally awesome ^^
Some visual spoilers up to 4x12 )

It kind of saved my mood a little. Still, I'm going to snap at someone at work today today, I'm quite sure. Why does all the crap always happen at the same time??

AUGH!  
DO NOT WANT THESIS, DO. NOT. WANT! Er, sorry. My life is all helpless flailing and bouts of random antipathy towards everything right now because I'm FAILING at thesis finishing. If I keep fretting so much, the damn thing'll never be done, but at the moment I cling to it and don't want to show it to anyone IN CASE I SUCK. The PostDoc trying to be supportive DOES NOT HELP.

Instead, my brain focusses on fandom too much.

Spoilers and random rumors for the finale and the last Confidential )

Ignore me, I'm a bit bitter at the moment. That damn Doctor should try battling Microsoft for once.

Will continue to edit graphs nao, sorry.

That was that. Again  
Spain is European Soccer Champion. Well done, folks.

Ah well, they earned it, it was a terrible thing to watch as a German fan, but I really don't like to see our players so down.

It was still an awful lot of fun during the last weeks and I can't stay sad when they're playing 'Eviva Espana'. It's still a great night. People were very, very calm about it, I guess it's because the goal fell so early, no high feelings in the end (more like bleak acceptance), leaving the crowd was okay. Well, apart from the fact that I don't enjoy standing in a huge crowd so much.

So many things seem to have changed since the World Cup in 2006. For one, it's great to see the happy patriotism in a country where flying flags on official buildings usully raise the questions "Who died?"/"What date is it?"/"Another catastrophe somewhere?". And so many of the fans are young girls, which is probably why the huge crowds stayed so friendly this time. Everyone needs a fandom, I *think* I even met one or two slashers... then I had an interesting discussion why there are no homosexual players. Ah, fun evening ^^

But even the most batshit fans agreed that the Spanish earned it.

The best part? The atmosphere of a huge party gripping everyone. I've rarely seen a fest in this town where so many strangers met to dance and drink and party outside. And then meet on their bike convoy home, quietly leaving the Spainish alone to party. It's such a nice tradition. And well, second best is something.

Fic: Imaginary  
Title: Imaginary
Summary: Deep inside the Citadel, there is a lonely room, forever holding a lonely Time Lord
Fandom(s): Doctor Who
Characters: The Doctor
Spoilers: 4x12 The Stolen Earth
Rating/Warnings: None
Word count: 676
Note 1: This is a sort-of AU for New Who, or maybe takes place after the season 4 finale. It's a bit complicated and was based on something stated in 4x12. I really hope it makes sense, comments and concrit are love. Betaed by [info]xwingace, the quickest beta on this side of the Milky Way.
Note 2: Yes, this was written half an hour after the episode aired. I can't believe I can write fic, but not one coherent sentence of my thesis. I'm going to get stinking drunk now while watching the European Soccer Championship finale. FI-NA-LE. Ooooh. \o/

Doctor Who 4x12 - The Stolen Earth  
It was late because of tennis, wasn't it? Stupid tennis. At least it wasn't cancelled and it wasn't because of snooker. DO NOT LAUGH. Happened to my other fandom MORE THAN ONCE! Remember when we used to watch brand new Farscape with Israeli subs? Ah, good old times.

Oh dear, they are in trouble.

It'll be a quite early scene, right? Because they don't want to spoil us too much, right? Oh, I can't wait for those opening credits!Discuss?

Also, rumor has it that David will be offered 100,000 Pounds per episode, so that he'll stay. I'll buy more merchandsie if it helps? And isn't Barrowman fangirling Lis Sladen the cutest thing ever? ^^

To say it with the words of the Republic: FI-NA-LE!  
Oh, my nerves, what a game that was.

Not only was the 3:2 done in the last minutes (usually a speciality of the Turks), but the freaking live feed was cut off not once, but TWICE during the 1:1. Ack. ZDF reacted quickly and let the commentator comment on the phone, but it's a long way from TV commentator to radio commentator if you have any idea what I'm talking about. And listening to him in a huge crowd of fans was quite impossible anyway.

During the second cut everybody called someone else to find out if was just a regional problem (it wasn't), before ZDF switched to the Swiss broadcast. Well, Peter called his wife, who swore on everything that was holy that her sattelite broadcast said it was 2:1 already. Cue much wondering ("It can't've happened during the blackout, the commentator would've said" and "Well, the Swiss are definetly drunk") before, TWO FREAKING MINUTES LATER, Klose made the 2:1. I had people clinging to me by then. MY NERVES. What an awesome, thrilling game. Not the best soccer ever, but still definetly nerve-wracking.

We're on the Road to Wien, people! Yayz! The best thing being that I've heard of no larger German/Turk brawls so far and made it safely home through throngs of drunk but happy and polite people. Well done.

Btw, is it true that the American embassy released a warning about Germany's big public viewing areas around the time of the game?

And doesn't our chancellor do the nicest victory cheering? *lol* Angie got more applause than the missed goal opportunities ^^

Notes: Written for [info]tw_wotd_fic's prompt 'renascent'. I'm so totally drained I can't even begin to look at that damn text document anymore. It shouldn't be so hard! My fingers itch to write (fic, that is, not results), but my brain refuses to come up with ideas. GAH, that's frustrating. All I can do is a drabble, it seems. I really wanted to write something longer, more serious and deeper, but my head won't let me, sorry. Unbetaed, so comments and concrit are love.
