Regenerated Doctor Who Geeks Thread

[RustyDaviesBear]

Sorry for the delay - internet went down just as I clicked create conversation....

Really? Good grief, it's not even remotely smutty. Maybe the filter doesn't like angst, there's some angst.

Kay - been busy so oonly jsut read.

Thank you. Feel much better now! (well, not exactly better, but you know what I mean...).

You're good aren't you?!

My PC would implode if I had one of those

fyi, this is the video I meant. Much nicer, tbh. And that's enough of that.

Right, I'm off to give Donna a real hero's ending, back later.

Right I'm home now, so I can read it & see what triggered off the porno filter at work.
Mind you, I work in a school, c
so the filter is a bit sensitive - the word 'bang' has been known to do it....

Well, it seems our school filter doesn't like kissing.

I like it though.....

Oh Kay - I got to the end of reading that and realised I'd been holding my breath for ages. That's good stuff. Thank you.

Rusty in the school I used to work in I couldn't buy a game of table top pool for the FE Dept because it came from a website that sold shot glasses

hoorah! I have convinced dd1 that she wants to watch Series 1, which she missed due to being born a bit late and being more interested in the Tweenies when it was aired. Isn't it great when your babies grow up?

serenity I will read that. Kay doesn't produce fic quick enough . It's like she has other things to do, and she's not a writing machine. It's pitiful.

Awww, that re-edit is brilliant. You can actually believe that they'll be happy together and she's not settling for second best.

Catherine Tate is on Charlotte Church now. I am watching with sound down until she comes on!

Hey guys, whose going to be buying themselves a Dalek Voice Changer Helmet this xmas then???

I hope they do a German Dalek.

What is this "shippy" thing?

People who are called "shippers" do relation-ship-(geddit?)based fan-fiction takes on programme's characters.

We need a fanfic glossary on here Crack, lemon, wingfic anyone?

Is that the same as slash then?

No, slash is the term for male/male stories, very often working from a subtext (that's an anagram )

femslash is a female/female pairing, het is male/female and gen is 'Oh-for-crying-out-loud-can-you-lot-think-about-something-other-than-sex-for-a-bit'

And where has this "squeeee" business come from?

squee is the sound you make when you're very excited about something. Nothing more involved than that Although I often employ it as a verb (as in 'I squeed myself silly')

Shipper and squee-er can be used as pejoratives if you're really not into that (and I has no problem with that, horses for courses etc) or some use them nastily because they're far too grown up and sophisticated for that sort thing.

I'm happy to ship anyone, because it's fun. And I am of the decided opinion that it's better than killing people because it's fun. So shippers are at least better than the Toclafane.

Anyway, I'm in the middle of killing Donna, while my children do pages of maths problems [evil] so 'scuse me...

Thank you.

i missed this thread while i was in london for two days - i debated whether to buy season 2 box set for £30 in hmv, as i couldn't be bothered to carry it and they were bound to have plenty in glasgow. right? apparently not

sigh. now i have to ring every HMV within driving distance, or pick it up when i'm back in town next wednesday for my job interview.

bought s3 in zavvi at lunch for £35 though.

the shipping - each to your own, but i just don't see DW and rose together, even if he is in human form and I'm a horrible cynical nasty nasty person, so it's generally a bit too lovely for me.

oh fab, I am becoming a real geek now, with new vocab!

I have been locked out of this thread now for a night because dd1's computer keyboard gave up the ghost, and my laptop is at Apple Hospital. It is like something is telling me to move on.

I went to PC World this morning and replaced the keyboard. If something is trying to tell me something, I refuse outright to listen.
