Because I was awesome

and up until 11:30 last night making sure I wasn't being an idiot and not posting the chapters or putting it off for a day.
Not helping with the book I'm supposed to be reading(you will get my impression of it at the moment, but that won't be the final word until I'm done). But it's progress.
Speaking of Fanfiction, apparently I'm on a one shot streak--I wrote two more since last Wednesday.
No More Tears was written for my best friend/sometimes beta(I've been using her more lately) because 1.) she was having a rough time and 2.) she asked for a story 'about the Doctor that ends with hope'. It's a really sweet/sad/hopeful story about how the Doctor picks his companions, and what happens with the companions. I liked it, and she said it helped.
Run! was written in a burst of inspiration. It's another cross over fic, Doctor Who and...Looking For Alaska. One small step into a fandom that I'm not sure about just yet(Not a big fan of book fandoms, save Discworld). It's the story behind Alaska's "run run run run run." Or at least my take on what would be a plausible(if not totally possible) explanation.
On the chapter front, not much has changed in the stories: that is to say, in A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset, Rory, Rigsby and Jane are all still locked up, and in Angels of the Disc, they're still dealing with the Weeping Angels.
So no big plot developments, but I'm thinking I'm gonna have to throw some into these next two.
Other originals has nothing new, but we're discussing the stories tomorrow.
I've got my fingers crossed!

Another bout of Bad Writer

Bad Writer! Bad Writer!
Except this time it's for A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset that I didn't write up a chapter for.
I'm considering doing an every other week set up for the stories. Angels of the Disc this week, A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset next week.
That may or may not happen.
I also wrote a new story called And They Called Him Mad, which is a Master fic--Doctor Who realm. It's a format I have fun writing. Bit angsty, bit sad, bit hopeful. All jammed into about 600 words.
Angels of the Disc throws our characters back into danger, so I hope you go check that out!
The book I'm going to be reading for this next week is The Moonstone. I can't promise I'll have finished it (547 pages) but I'll give you a review of the point I'm at in the story.
I'm not writing as much original stuff as I hoped I would be, because we're not actually writing new stuff in my class right now.
Sorry.

Bad Writer, Good Blogger

For a quick update on my life: I've finished my school finals, got an A(or an A-) in all my classes, and have (finally) started the new semester.
Well, kinda.
I had about ONE day of classes.
On to other originals: My play isn't going to be in the student run program...Or my monologues...or anyone else's stuff, because it got CANCELED. BECAUSE OF SNOW.
Snow=my worst enemy.
As for other original stuff, I promise I will be writing a lot more this semester because I am taking a creative writing class. That should help with me write both original stuff and improve this blog.
I've been working a bit on Electricity, which is the story I mentioned ages ago. It's got a lot of promise if I can ever actually find time to sit down and write it.
BAD WRITER!
Another point that makes me a BAD WRITER is the fact that I'm not putting up a chapter for Angels of the Disc. I only got an idea on how to write it yesterday, and I'm not even sure I like the 100 words I've written. So that earns my bad demerits for the week.
GOOD WRITER!
A Blue TARDIS At Red Sunset is up! And it is a funny A-B plot movement. Also, by the end of this chapter, Lisbon is the ONLY one who doesn't end up in handcuffs.
So that's my life and writing at the moment!
SUNDAY: Looking for Alaska!!!!!!!

Shellshocked Mood

As in I'm not quite sure my brain is working properly enough to really give a well written and coherent post, but it's Wednesday so I'll give it a try.
The reasons for this doubt about my abilities at this time will be listed here
1.) My english final today. 1 hour, Thirty minutes, 15 paragraphs and 7 pages. Three prompts. Honestly, I thought it went well.
2.) I actually had the two chapters(LONGEST ONES YET) finished Monday. Which hasn't been my MO lately.
3.) starting the one for my 1000 readers celebration. It's about a dog, a wombat, and two bunnies.
4.) MAIN REASON? The book for the next book commentary. It's called Looking for Alaska, and it is, in my opinion, one of the best books of this entire century. And maybe the one before and after. But more on that next time.
5.) Snow. So much snow. Mother nature hates me.

Right, on to the fanfiction. Angels of the Disc had the longer chapter by about 159 words. It's basically the spliting up of different groups, and Death is played with a bit more. Which is fun. Also, take the quiz on my page to help me out a bit.
However I'll admit that as plot developing goes A Blue TARDIS At Red Sunset had a better chapter! I got to play with the Slitheen Dictator and have a few fun lines. It's a pretty good chapter, and important to moving the plot along.
So check them out! Until next Wednesday!

Knew I forgot something else...

Another new look; except I like this one. I'm pretty certain I'll stick with it, too. I'm surprised I didn't run across this book one before, because it's really kind of PERFECT.
Any way, not much to report on the original writing front--I've been dabbling here and there with a few ideas, but the only two I see something concrete coming from is something like a Pride and Prejudice Fanfiction and ZOMBIES. I had this really odd dream that inspired it; it was really creepy, and involved my sister and brother becoming zombies that lived with me.
Odd, but good inspiration!
Okay, so for all of you who actually read the Fanfiction, I was a bad author this week, because A Blue TARDIS At Red Sunset didn't get a full chapter yesterday, just a teaser, which ended up being 513 words long. It starts with Amy teasing Grace about her reaction to the TARDIS and goes down hill from there, basically. However, I'm doing my best to have a full chapter up and replacing that one tonight!
Angels of the Disc has a friendship building chapter thown in now. Last chapter, the History Monks appear; I took the chance to establish the relationships of the characters through conversation. The two sidekicks(Rose and Soto) had a little chat, and Lu-Tze and the Doctor had a tiny conversation. I did advance the plot a bit at the end, using DEATH to impart news. DEATH is suddenly a plot point creator. I love Sir. Pratchett's work, but I feel that this might be a bit abusive to DEATH. So, take a chance to read it and post a review!
Okay, I decided I would read the Romance Novels. It's a series and I own two; the third one is out and the fourth should be out sometime soon.
I have to tell you, this is the title I'm considering for the next one;
Redirected Author Rant? Editor's Eye? Can't Believe I Actually Like Reading This?

Snow

I've got snow! Lots and lots of snow, falling down in big, fluffy flakes. Did I say a lot of snow?
Anyway, I'm very proud of myself! I've been very busy this past week. I've tried out for the production at my school (i got two parts! They're small, but I'm okay with that! I was expecting a tiny part.) I also have another monologue; it's interesting. It'll try to explain...it's about this girl who can fall from one universe to the next. In both universes there's this guy that she loves, but they're just friends. In the other, they're in a relationship. So she goes to this other universe, because staying in ours hurt too much. And while she kept looking in on him, he grew away from her, into a cold hearted person. The last time she showed up, the last spark of him that she loved died, and so did the him in the other universe.
Yup.
Other original work for that includes something that my Best Friend/Sometime Beta and I wrote, once again mainly over Facebook. It's a short skit about three of the main people in the production of a play, and it's awesome!
I wrote a new story that's generally the letter a dying woman is writing to her husband.
Up close it gets creepy.
Like she's outside in the middle of winter freezing to death. And her husband has tried to kill her in the past.
Anyway!
Fanfiction!
I got both of the chapters up! (good) Before 12:00AM today (BETTER)! 
Angels of the Disc I got to add the Time Monks, and Jack didn't learn to behave any better. I also got a lot of cool reviews. Plus I'm adding a missing scene chapter for 10!
A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset has a new slitheen, and Cho and Grace going with Amy and the Doctor to the home planet of the Slitheen! Please drop a review!
All I'm saying for now!

Not this week, folks.

Really, really busy.
REALLY!
I've even been trying to get you an actual book...Emma and Vampires. But that got me depressed...I couldn't read it without thinking of how the Vampires in there were like Twilight.
There is a new story up, because I got accepted to my first choice college so...I wrote one called "University Acceptance", which was really sweet.  Also, my other chapters will be up tonight. I'll include links here.
Angels of the Disc is a Doctor/Rose chapter-funny, I think. Jack is hitting on Death's Granddaughter, Nine talks about being slapped by Rose's mother...I liked it.
A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset is done with developing character building stuff and is on to the plot building! And it's thickening like stew! Or London's fog!
That's it...I need to get everything done.

Author Rant is Back On

Because recently I've picked up watching this YouTube channel called charlieissocoollike and I stared watching it because of Trock, which is Time Lord Rock, for any of you who were wondering. I'm a geek, so obviously I listen to this stuff. If you haven't figured out I'm a geek, I am. I mean, I read classic literature for fun...
Okay, but charlieissocoollike is in a Trock band called Chameleon Circuit (listening to this band taught me to spell those two words!) with this other YouTube video blogger called nerimon (and a couple other guys) and I just found that he read Twilight himself earlier this year. And his commentary is awesome! The link above is to the first chapter, actually. I loved listening to it, so you know what, I decided to go ahead and tell you that I'm gonna start picking on the characters for this next Sunday. Whoo! I'm excited. Here are a few phrases I plan on using.
1.) Edward Cullen, put simply, is a creeper.
2.) The first Mario had more dimensions than Bella Swan.
3.) YES! A VAMPIRE WHO REALLY WANTS TO BE CREEPY!!!!
4.) I mean, really Jacob, get a life. She's not worth it...

Are you excited? I am! Yeah!
RIGHT! Fan Fiction stuff now...

Okay, I commented in either the end or, just you know, on the replies I send out for the reviewers (I DO SEND THOSE OUT! WITH TEA! But only if you actually have an account on fanfiction, which I do strongly recommend getting. If you do review and don't have an account, then comment here and I will respond! WITH TEA!) that this Angels of the Disc was not going to be Doctor centric. It's Susan centric and her flying the TARDIS with a surprise guest! So go click on the link to find out who! On other points I had a lot of fun writing it, I got to include DEATH, and it's fun to read.
Okay, I've got to tell you, this next chapter with Jane and The Doctor from A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset has a good deal of really interesting metaphors. I loved writing them down, because metaphors ARE AWESOME! I love metaphors that aren't not supposed to be there. Mine are all really obvious. If you don't catch them, I will worry for you. I'll get this TWANG in my mind that there is someone who doesn't get the metaphor, and then I start to worry a lot. It starts off as The Doctor Reminiscing, there's a minor flash of Doctor-Lisbon background, then it switches over to Lisbon yelling because, as we learned in the last chapter, the Doctor and Jane went off to go get the TARDIS without telling her. Which is actually pretty funny. Well, I think so.
Also, I've got up two new short stories for the Doctor Who page (I plan on branching out a bit once I'm done with those two long stories, promise. I've got two other ones on hiatus) One short story is called Nice is a Nice Place to Meet, and is actually the second story I typed up and published, but the one I've been thinking a lot about for a few months. It's the one I decided to post because I got 1000 readers to my pages(thank you to everyone who helped make that up) and it's a story about Donna Noble, a Tenth Doctor's companion meeting the Ninth Doctor before Rose. If I had to stop and think I'd say it'd end up on my list of my favorite one-shots, and probably ahead of some of my longer ones as well.
The other one isn't fully mine; it was written mostly over Facebook with my best friend and sometime Beta Reader. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is actually about a drunk Doctor and Amy Pond singing. It was inspired by the Doctor Who cast singing that song, and there is a video on YouTube. The story itself is actually very funny, and a really good read. So please take the chance to go look at it! It's actually the first bit of collaboration that I've worked on and it's ended well. We've tried original stuff, I've tried to work with my sister, but nothing ever seemed to come of it. But who knows? Now that we've done this we might be able to get around to some original work.
Speaking of original work, I've finished a short story! It was really fun to write, and I doubt I'll publish it any where soon, but if I get enough requests, I'll post it here!
You might be wondering about Electricity, and you shouldn't. I've been really busy lately, so it got pushed to the side.
I'm sick as I'm writing this, but I wanted to make sure I had something to put up here when the time came, so this is it! It's long and rambling because when I'm sick I just type a lot. But this is going up because I'm dedicated like that.
Also, Tea tastes really bitter plain. Usually, I throw in sweetener like sugar or honey(when I'm sick, like I am) and milk, but I had to run out of the kitchen because I sit in front of the oven, and food had to be made.

Potpourri

Because I'm really excited about the Doctor Who Christmas special, and won't shut up about it anywhere.
Ask my friends.
But, first, for those of you who won't want to read about Doctor Who, my fanfiction.
This week has been really hectic attempting to get it written, so please check them out: A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset and Angels of the Disc. I had to write one at home during some free time that popped up every now and then, and the other at school during free time (And, no, during classes is not counted as free time, in case you were wondering. Before classes and during my study block is free time. Sometimes lunch, if I'm really rushed.) Honestly, I'm really proud of the way both of them turned out. Angels of the Disc has a character I've been wanting to work with, and A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset is a bit darker than the chapters before, simply because of who the chapter centers around.
Angels of the Disc, chapter seven, introduces the long awaited arrival of Susan Sto Helit, the grand-daughter of DEATH (who speaks in all capital letters). Susan's back story for as to why she was wandering around the Art Museum will be addressing in a chapter yet to come-The next one is her adventure in the TARDIS, and I've promised a reviewer a bit of Doctor/Rose in the one after that, so it might be a bit-but I'm really excited to include her. Susan is a school teacher, no-nonsense, and can give you her Full Attention.
She also has certain...talents, passed down from DEATH. Not biological, but still. Some traits aren't passed down that way.
She can, if she wants, stop time. Well, not stop, exactly, just...create her own.
And she can walk though walls, but it's a bother to let people see you do that. They tend to get nervous.
So, in general, Susan is awesome. However, all she really wants is to be a regular...normal...everyday...human.
Well, you don't always get what you wish for, do you?
So, this chapter introduces her-and, well, Jack is still Jack. If you've read any of the other ones, or seen any of series one Captain Jack, you'll realize that he is always on the brink of an innuendo, no matter what. Jack is perfectly incorrigible-and he's got his sonic blaster too, which upsets the Doctor, who had hidden it.
So that's a funny bit. Please take the chance to read it. I've enable anonymous reviews, too, if you want to drop one of those.
If the Discworld isn't for you, and you like the Mentalist, I've got to admit that is one is very hurt/comfort. It's Jane and the Doctor centric, and they're not going to bond over romances or a game of poker-they're going to bond over how they've lost so many people, and how alone they are.
And over personal vendettas.
There are funny parts-Jane insults the TARDIS a bit, and the Doctor gets offended, and then it ends with humor as well.
I felt sad as I wrote some lines-the Doctor talking about the Daleks and the time war, and Jane replying "I was a father once too."
Which is really heart breaking. For everyone who doesn't like when people explore how broken those two really are, I'm sorry. It's just one of the big things they have in common.
Okay, on the originals front, I don't think I have anything new to report; nothing new on the play front, and my other work is hard to get back into. However, I'll tell you something-the two main characters in Electricity are broken-well, the main character in that might not be, not yet, but the girl who I'm going to have to kill off certainly is.
And I haven't written a new short story yet-I have an idea, but until it's concrete, I'm not going to say anything. It's likely it won't be finished until my creative writing class next semester.
Sorry.

And about the look change...I'm either going to stay with this one or not-it depends on how much I like it. I'll give it a trial run of three weeks.

Next week: A Christmas Carol! Got to have one this time of year-so I'll go with the most famous.

DOCTOR WHO!

Okay, so I'm really, really excited about this new one. To start with, the Eleventh Doctor is actually the first one I've seen as it aired her in America for the first time-The other ones are either re-runs, or a DVD set. However, I saw Vincent and The Doctor with my brother, and fell in love with the dynamic between Amy and the Doctor-they're best friends. And I've also seen other ones, online, and watched clips on YouTube.

But this will be the second time I see a new one with the rest of America, and for the first time EVER, with England as well-I feel bad for Australia and the like but...EEP!

Another point is that I love Amy/Rory-They are, in my official book of un-official stuff, the new Doctor Who Super-Couple. Rory waited 2,000 years for Amy-and Amy never truely forgot Rory. Not even when he died and was wiped from all of Time. Not even when he never, ever existed.

And, of course, they're currently on their honeymoon-which doesn't start or end well. It's Doctor Who-what can you expect? And I've seen clips on the BBC America site. So I'm really, really excited.
I earn the title obsessive, sometimes, if I think it's important-and this is. To me.

Basic premise, as I see it, is this:

Rory and Amy are on their honeymoon, when all of the sudden, the ship has trouble, and needs to land on the planet. The Doctor needs to help them.
One problem:
Something's in their way.
And the person who owns that something is the classic Scrooge. And also doesn't like the Doctor.
So, to get him to move it, the Doctor has to get in him the spirit of Christmas.
It sounds so awesome-and, as an added plus, this Scrooge-like man is played by none other than MICHEL GAMBON.

The last Dumbledore, for anyone who was wondering.

This is me, signing off for now,

Wednesday Blog

I seem to post every Wednesday-so I think I'll make this a regular update day.
In my fanfiction writing life, I posted the next chapters in my two on going stories Angels of the Disc and A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset. I also posted a new one shot called What Do You Do? It's about Amy without Rory, and her being sad...and lonely. It's a better read than my attempt at summarizing. But if you do go click on these, would you mind dropping a review? Thank you!
On the original writing front, I'm kinda freaking out a bit over whether or not my play will make it in-there are so many people writing plays. My original thinking had exactly 6 playwrights...and then a few other people showed up who hadn't gone to ANY of the meetings, pro-offering plays. I mean, if you went to a meeting, I'm glad that you have something! There were bloody brilliant ideas wandering around.
There were a couple brilliant monologues-my hat goes off to one EGE for his version on the end of the world, and I'm extremely glad my best friend showed up with something! It was cool to listen to.
It's only the play though that's got me worrying-i really, really want mine to make it in...but if we have more than 6 plays, I won't be surprised if mine is the one that gets cut. I really won't. I loved (most) of the plays that I heard yesterday. The most is because there was this one that was freaky, and, well, I didn't get it. But many of the ones I heard yesterday were either perfectly funny or amazingly dramatic. I think mine is just really...conceptual. And I'm not sure how that works with the other ones. It's deep, and I liked it, but...
I'm going to stop while I'm behind. Freaking out won't help any. I need to take a deep breath. And switch topics.
So I'll switch on to a rant about how I don't think I've written enough original pieces lately. Now, writing plays and fanfiction is fun (and to be honest, I don't ever want to stop) but when i sit down and write something that is mine it's fantastic. And I don't know what has stopped me from continuing. Head's too full of stuff, maybe.  Last original work I started was something called Electricity...and it was nice and interesting. But I stopped writing it. And I've only just figured out why. It's because, as i was writing it (I only have two full pages) I realized...the girl who I had thought was going to be main character was going to have to die.
And I've never killed off a character before. Not a real character. I mean, killing off a plot point is easy. But a character is a person.
But I've promised myself I would work on it, whenever I had the chance.
AND!
There has been a switch in the plan for this week! Austen, you have been forgotten! Enter Terry Pratchett, Stage Right!
I was hoping to get into Pratchett later, because he's very prolific, but I just got his latest book, I Shall Wear Midnight. And i couldn't resist. So if you're really pushing for Austen, tell me. Yell at me.
Can't guarantee  it'll do any good, but say something.

Really Ought To Have Done This Yesterday

That is because my fanfiction story update day was yesterday. That is the day that stories in progress are updated. Currently that means two stories. A Blue TARDIS at Red Sunset is a cross over between The Mentalist and Doctor Who. I currently have the second chapter posted and the third chapter is waiting in the wings for next Tuesday. All that I'm willing to reveal at this moment about the story is that Lisbon calls the Doctor because something is off at the crime scene. In chapter two, The Doctor, who has decided that he and Amy will go undercover as Torchwood, and Rory would pretend to be U.N.I.T. Hightower, however wants to talk to their supervisor...So in comes Captain Jack.
The other story is Angels of the Disc, a crossover between Doctor Who and Discworld. Nine, Rose and Captain Jack land in Discworld, ready to explore. The only problem is that in Ankh Morpork, people are disappearing, and the trouble seems to be originating from the Royal Art Museum.
Actually, I updated later than I usually would because yesterday was the last chapter of my Good Omens fanfiction, Being You. It's about Crowley and Aziraphale, and, yes is slash. Not over much, but slash. I had a lot of fun writing it and was sad to see it was over.
As a side note, the book I've chosen for this Sunday is Northanger Abbey, and I have decided that for the next six or so weeks will be Jane Austen. Which means that next week may have me re-reading Emma or Sense and Sensibility. I'll pick by Sunday!
