Doctor Who meme: Day 18

Day 18 – Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

Hmm... well since today (well, technically yesterday now) was Big Finish Day and I splurged on four Doctor Who audios from them, let's make this a Big Finish post! I'll talk about some of my faves, and if you like Big Finish please tell me what ones you think are good so I have ideas what to grab during the next sale or at Chicago TARDIS!

So anyway that's a selection of audiobooks I like! Tell me what else is good and I should start looking for! (I do have a bunch more that I didn't list here, because they weren't spectacular or I haven't listened to them yet - there's about *counts* wow, 34 audiobooks in my iTunes that I haven't listened to yet, most of them Doctor Who).

Doctor Who meme: Day 16

Now that I'm back... time to return to this!

Day 16 – Your Favorite Who-Related FanFic

Oooh that's a tough one. I have to give two and they're really series rather than single stories.

[livejournal.com profile] faithharkness has a whole AU, the Hannah-verse, that I adore. Grace is the main story (which is long but OMG so worth the read! Trust me!!!), but it was the list fics of everything Hannah learned working at Torchwood that hooked me initially. I don't even remember how I stumbled on them but I just remember reading the list going "Who is this Hannah character? I love her, but seriously why do they let her answer the phones?" :) Read anything by [livejournal.com profile] faithharkness, you'll not regret it!

My other pick is Children in Time by [livejournal.com profile] huskyfriends. And the sequel Children Through Time that's still in progress. Yeah I'm a bit biased considering Lynnae is totally based on me and I also have helped brainstorm a lot of what's in that series but it's still an awesome book. The first book was written for last year's TARDIS Big Bang, the first part of the sequel for Scifi Big Bang, the second part for this year's TARDIS Big Bang, and she's doing the rest for Torchwood Big Bang. It's again a very long story (the first book is over the 80K mark) but SOOOOO worth it!

Book meme

Swiped from [livejournal.com profile] luvinthe88and20 cuz I like sharing books :)

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

(Socks from the Toe Up is closest but I won't bore y'all with a selection from that!)


It realized it was surrounded -- the forces of the locals making a first doomed attempt at containment, with all their little vehicles, or, as the Vam thought of them, snacks.

It considered what to do next, idly popping out a few thousand eyes to watch the conflagration beneath. Obviously it was going to expand, to surge and devour, what in which direction? It could sense a large cluster of ... suburban dwellings on the other side of the road. The crowd which was currently watching it, learning to fear and curse the name of the Vam, why, they had streamed from them in curiosity. The Vam could just extend out a little way and take them with very, very little effort.

So it did.


Torchwood: Risk Assessment by James Goss.

(I haven't read it yet, it's from the last batch of Torchwood novels I bought that I just haven't gotten around to reading as yet.)

Chicago TARDIS 2009 -- BEST CON EVER!

Hey all!

I am home safely from Chicago TARDIS. This was the best convention EVER, I'm struggling to find the words to describe how amazing it was!

My eyes are closing because I'm exhausted but I just wanted to post a brief report before I pass out.

Whoniverse photoshoot day!

Hello everyone!

ETA: Less than one week to go! PM me if you need a contact number to call, especially if you think you'll be running late.

I'm putting a post here in my journal to spread the word about an idea [livejournal.com profile] huskyfriends and I have been batting around. We love spending time getting really awesome photos of cosplay (like when we spent time with [livejournal.com profile] adistantshadow at Wizard World, that was fun!) and we thought, why not make a day of it and get a big group together to get photos at some great locations we know of. I've been to a few gatherings organized on the Anime Central forums, like the Acen Aftermath Photoshoot in 2007 where at one point we had around 50-60 people walking en masse around downtown Chicago. It's great fun!

So, we would like to create a Whoniverse cosplay photoshoot gathering on Saturday, October 24th, 2009.

Details behind the cut )

So....who might be interested in coming? Characters? We've already started brainstorming and we have a load of great ideas already but the more the merrier! Pass along the word, we'd love to have a great big group. Any and all Whoniverse costumes are welcome and also non-cosplayers are welcome too. I'd love to have multiple photographers come along to this. Comment away! :D

The photos from the photoshoot that Nick took are uploaded!!

His website is The Enthusiasts and there's a great shot from the WTTW sign on the front page, with a link to the full gallery.

Now, I go change out of costume :) but thanks everyone for coming, I can't wait for the next one!!!!

Writing pimpage!

Just thought I'd post links to some of my writing. I keep forgetting to post up a link to the story I did for [livejournal.com profile] wintercompanion and I thought while I'm at it I'll link my other stuff too!


First up, I wrote this for the [livejournal.com profile] wintercompanion community, they had posted up looking for people to write to prompts as part of a summer festival and I volunteered.

Title: By the Queen's Request
Author: [livejournal.com profile] knitchick1979
Pairing: Jack/Ianto, Jack/Doctor, Jack/Doctor/Ianto
Rating: PG
Spoilers/warnings: None
Challenge: Summer Holidays
Prompt group: 8: costumes - glasses - greatcoats - protection
Summary: Insanity abounds when the Queen asks Torchwood and the Doctor for protection during a masquerade ball.

More story descriptions and links this way )

Anyway that's some of what I've already finished and posted. Now I'm working up my plots and getting ready to write two Big Bang stories. Yes, I signed up for the Torchwood Big Bang as well as already working on the SciFi Big Bang. Yes, I am insane. :) So, please read and enjoy and comment!
