Fannish rambling

[lomelinde_laurea]

space_swap works were revealed yesterday, and I received two amazing gifts! I might have squealed out loud when I saw that one of them was an Eighth Doctor Adventures story: Those Meddling Kids. It's a true delight <3. Five times John and Delenn almost kissed took me right back to my days of being obsessed with Babylon 5 (still one of my favorite shows out there). The Space Swap collection can be found here – lots of Doctor Who stuff, especially Classic and Big Finish Audio. It's so strange to actually know most of the fandoms in an exchange for once – I'll need some time to work my way through the works.

I only just discovered genfreeformexchange – unfortunately too late to sign up, but I'll keep an eye out for pinch hits or maybe write a treat or two.

I finished the EDA Unnatural History, and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I glanced at the reviews on the old Outpost Gallifrey website, and the book didn't seem to go down to well. The story's pseudo science might be quite out there, but I loved all the character stuff. I really enjoyed alternative!Sam and her interactions with both the Doctor and Fitz. I've now started Interference - Book One – a big story IIRC. So far, I'm intrigued.

On the Doctor Who Big Finish Audio front - I finished the Lucie Miller run, and wow, the ending of Series 4 packs a punch. I might have something in my eye... I've now started the Dark Eyes boxset, and I'm enjoying it so far. The atmosphere is quite different from both the Charley and Lucie runs, but I like it. Great music, and Paul McGann is phenomenal in those first ten minutes of The Great War.

I need to get myself into gear to write my story for this year's ds_c6d_bigbang. I think I have a pretty decent F/K established relationship plot idea, and I've made an outline, but I'm struggling to get started. I've written a rough draft of the first chapter, but I should try to get more done during my Easter break. Looking forward to the chat on Saturday!
