Okay, so I owe y'all an entire season's worth of posts on last season on, well, everything I watch. I haven't forgotten.

But I've just seen Doctor Who, "Deep Breath," and I can actually share a reaction while I'm still having it! Of course there are spoilers behind the cut )

I keep meaning to post and not doing it! I will try to make some shorter posts instead of the kind of longer round-up that I'm not likely to finish.

I discovered that my fanfic site The Mead Hall went down, probably in late November 2012. I have been paying it so little mind that on the rare occasions I have looked in the last 18 months, I have found it not working and made a mental note to talk to Brilliant Husband and then promptly lost the mental note. I have done this at least twice before I realized that it's really down! On the other hand, my ownership of the site expires in July, and I'm not paying for it again, so I'm letting it go. I am in the process of moving my fanfic all to AO3; you can find me here.

I have 18 stories up now. None of my Primeval or Stargate: Atlantis stories have made it yet, but they will be there; if you want a specific story added that I haven't yet put up, just let me know, and I'll put it at the top of my List of Stories to Move!

Also note that I have given up on writing recommendation posts. I just can't manage to do it. I have been saving up Sherlock stories for a rec post, and I just don't think that's ever going to happen, because I've mostly gone off Sherlock except for stories by a few writers, and I cannot find the motivation to make a post for a fandom where I'm hardly doing any reading. Most of what I did mean to rec, I bookmarked on AO3, so you can go to that link above, click to see my profile, and then find my Bookmarks in the left-hand menu.

Moreover, I suddenly fell into Marvel and Captain America fandom. (Okay, more honestly: Winter Soldier fandom, with healthy sides of Captain America, Sam, and Natasha, though the proportions of those vary.) Aware that I can't manage rec posts, I have begun trying to make slightly fuller summaries of stories I'm bookmarking as recommendations so that not only can I remember them when I look back, but friends can decide whether they might want to read each.

On the downside, I realized yesterday that I appear to have tagged fully half the stories I've bookmarked "friendship," and I suspect I'd have tagged a lot more that way if I'd been tagging for people other than just me when I started making bookmarks. And "friendship" actually describes what attracts me to nearly all these stories, so you might not find it a useful tag if you decide to search my bookmarks.

Behind the cut: a brief summary of Where I Am in Fandom, for those who are curious—and to help me remember what I might want to tackle in individual posts. This list may change as I think of something else I want to remember. Fandoms )
Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bentleywg for tipping me off about The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot. Peter Davison wrote it, three of our old favorites appear in nearly all of it, and there are many cameos and inside jokes (probably some I didn't get). Watch it, and tell others. I haven't seen anyone else link to it yet, and every fan of the first 26 seasons should watch!

Via [livejournal.com profile] flingslass, "Will Doctor Who Have A Very Special Surprise For Us In November?" by Rich Johnston. No official confirmation yet, but apparently discoveries have been made. . . .

I was so excited about Neverwhere being made into a radio show and then about World's End (see here) that I overlooked one more credit under Martin Freeman's name, which I just noticed today:
Saving Santa, where all the credits are voice credits, so it appears to be animated. Voices include:
Martin Freeman
Tim Curry
Tom Baker as Santa!
Noel Clarke
Chris Barrie
I have seen a couple of mentions of this, but the best link comes from [livejournal.com profile] joonscribble: "James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch join Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere" by Meredith Woerner at io9. I enjoyed the book, never saw the tv version (but heard bad things about it), and now really want to know when and how to listen to this! James McAvoy and Natalie Dormer star, with Bernard Cribbins as Old Bailey, Christopher Lee as Earl of Earl's Court (the man is 90 years old! and he just keeps going!), Anthony Head as Croup--oh, and Benedict Cumberbatch as Islington.

No wonder they're having trouble scheduling the filming of the next Sherlock series.


(I just looked up the principals from Sherlock in IMDb and found Martin Freeman will be in World's End with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, and I want to see that already: "Five friends who reunite in an attempt to top their epic pub crawl from 20 years earlier unwittingly become humankind's only hope for survival," IMDb tells me. BC, Rupert Graves, and Louise Brealey are also keeping very busy. The surprise is not that Sherlock has been delayed but that they're still confident they can ever get all these people together at once again!)

From [livejournal.com profile] bentleywg and [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon, the new series 7 trailer for Doctor Who! Spoilers, of course:

Bring on the spoilers! )

Does anyone know when the new season starts on BBC and (more importantly for me) BBC America?

How am I supposed to be calm and get back to work after watching that?

Apparently this was made some time ago, but I only just saw it—thanks to [livejournal.com profile] nialla42!

"Doctor Who Cast & Crew Special"—it's under 4 minutes, and it's a hoot. Watch!



ETA: You MUST follow [livejournal.com profile] nialla42's link in comments below to see the other video. NOW.

Could it really be that no one on my flist has posted on "The Wedding of River Song" yet? But I don't know what to say!

As if that would stop me! Spoilers ahead )

[livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon has a great Rory Pond Williams gif here. You should take a look. Brilliant Husband and I still keep quoting it at each other, two weeks after I first saw it on her LJ and dragged him over to see.

Rory has made it onto my all-time favorite companions list.
