Title: I Know Why, And So Do You
Author: Me, rabbitfics
Rating: 15 at the most for implied tiemsmexings.
Pairing: 8/Jack; implied 10/Simm!Master; largely one-sided 8/Charley.
Disclaimer: The Doctor and Jack and all the rest of 'em belong to the BBC.
Warnings: Gratuitious Glenn Miller and T.S. Eliot references, pretentious use of parentheses. Hey, just be glad it's not Jack/Shalka!Doctor, 'cause I almost wrote that instead.

x-posted to [info]rabbitfics and [info]dw_slash

The Doctor turns and looks up at Jack, all big eyes and vulnerability, and for a second Jack feels bad about what he's got planned. )

Gratuitious Scottish Accent  
Yet more press about "The Making of Me" :)

Caitlin Moran in The Times

Barrowman is, actually ... Scottish. He might act American on television, or in interviews, but in the privacy of his own home, he suddenly starts talking like one of the Proclaimers. He makes the word “girl” go like this: “Gurrull”.

It must have a terrible effect on his ability to be gay. “You go, girlfriend!” would come out like this: “You gooooo, gurrulfriend!” It would take about 20 minutes.

She's completely right about “gurrull” ;)

VID: Nine Get Over Excited (PG, Spoilers through DW S4)  
Title: Nine Get Over Excited

Song: "Five Get Over Excited" by The Housemartins

Summary: Fun! Fun! Fun! That's life, the universe and everything (with a nod to Doug Adams) for the Doctor and his companions in the new Doctor Who series. Sort of.

Spoilers: for seasons 1 - 4 and the end of TW S1

Download: .mov version on Megaupload

Watch it ( + here via the fake cut-tag )

Notes: I've been waiting all season to do this vid; after the end of S4 it took me a few days to recuperate but then in re-watching S4, and selected episodes from 1-3, I re-embraced the "fun" of the companions, and others who move in and out of the Doctor's orbit - even when the fun doesn't seem very fun at all.

Bouncy Castle  
so my victim husband has started watching Doctor Who with me again. (I am fully caught up, but I am watching season 2 with him so he can catch up with me.) I think when the inspiration strikes, I'll try to do an art for each ep we watch. :)

Fic: Homecoming  
TITLE: Homecoming
AUTHOR: Emma
FANDOM: Torchwood
DISCLAIMER: Oh, please. If I owned them, would I let some of those idiots write the scripts? And if I were making any money off them, would I be where they could find me?
AUTHOR’S NOTE: This…thing…came about because I firmly believe that if GDL decided he wanted out or if “management” decided to write Ianto out, the only satisfactory way to do it would be to let him walk away with his dignity intact and minimal outward angst. Softie that I am, I immediately started thinking what would happen if the guys met somewhere down the road. Unbetaed, so there.
PANIC NOTE: My first fic and my first cross-post. God help me!

it's here

Desperately need help with family heirloom book  
This is my first post in this community, until now I've only popped up in comments to others' posts.

Behind the lj-cut are urls linking directly to images are of the book. Printed all in German, but published in the USA. I think it might be a hymnal, but the print type has made it near impossible for me to try and translate. I'm very much hoping that someone here can help me understand/translate it. The book is from the late 1800's or early 1900's.
Here's the cover:
bk_cover title_alt

Book Images )
This book belonged to my great-great grandmother on my mother's side of the family tree.
The family were immigrants from Germany, possibly Berlin. The Raschke's (this branch of my family tree) were charter members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, locally known as the German Methodist Church. It was organized in Lexington, Texas in 1882.

The church purchased two acres of land for a cemetery in November 1898. The first recorded burials on this site were those of two-year-old Reinhold Retzlaff and four-year-old Gustav Hillegeist in the spring of 1899. Also interred here are Civil War veterans Bernhard Retzlaff (who fought for both the Union and the Confederacy), Jacob Seifert, and Gustav Urbantke, who served as a lay minister for forty years. Others buried here include members of the Bauer, Grusendorf, Hillegeist, Hornung, Letterman, Otto, Peterson, Raesener, and Raschke families.

Does anyone know where this image of Tennant holding what appears to be Ten fanart came from? (ie what video clip, or confidential or whatever it came from)
I'd like to watch it and see what he's saying! :)
THANKS!
