Fannish Items of Interest

For the Paul McGann fans out there, The Sci-Fi Channel is airing Fairy Tale: A True Story at 10 AM, CST.

If you had me under your command and could make me write anything , regardless of whether or not I know the fandom or if anybody even writes fic in that fandom for Doctor Who/Torchwood, no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write?

If anyone could come up with a Doctor and Donna prompt, or something involving Jack or Martha, that would be great.

The 10 Worst Comic Book Vacation Destinations.

10 Greatest Science Fiction Show Endings Ever. A couple of the shows I've never seen before, but #1 is Life on Mars. Doctor Who is on the list for Survival. And all I can think of is Sylvester McCoy screaming "If we fight like animals, we DIE LIKE ANIMMAAAALLLLSSSS!"

I take exception to the first list's inclusion of Themyscira. There are days when that sounds like a great vacation spot to me.

They seem to be assuming a male readership. It's a great vacation spot for a woman!

Donna must use pie to save the Doctor from a tiny alien race that have used a shrink ray on him and imprisoned him in their ship with other assorted animals and sentient beings.

While on a mission for Torchwood, he is catapulted into a French monastery in the Middle Ages. He has to find a way back to the 21st century, but he keeps getting distracted by certain monks...until he uncovers the sinister plot of an alien monk, and must save the world using champagne.

Thank you! I'm going to add both of those into the list of prompts, since they both seem like great ideas.

I particularly like the idea of Jack saving the world with booze. XD

[calliopes_pen]

I can just picture him waking up in the bushes outside the monastery, wondering what went on--not being concerned over being naked, since it's par for the course with him when he's drunk.

Fairy Tale is a rather charming little movie. Also notable for a good performance by young Florence Hoath (Nancy in "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances"). :)

(Useless information. I has it.)

Prompts, hum? How about... Donna/Martha/Jack, drinking buddies. The best OT3 that never was, dude.

Florence Hoath looks exactly the same then, as she did in that episode (to me, at least) so I recognized her immediately.

Prompts, hum? How about... Donna/Martha/Jack, drinking buddies. The best OT3 that never was, dude.

That's a good one, actually. The poor Doctor might even be nearby, hoping it doesn't end up with them sharing humiliating moments that he's had.

Sylvester McCoy screaming "If we fight like animals, we DIE LIKE ANIMMAAAALLLLSSSS!"

The following flashed across my mind like a flashback from a bad acid trip the other day and it won't get out:

Mindy, the little girl from "Mindy & Buttons" on Animaniacs --- the one who always tells her mother "OK, lady" when her mother tells her to play with the dog---, saying in that squeeky, loud voice of hers, "If we fight like aminuls, we'll die like aminuls. Okay. I love you. Bye-bye."

Drawing a blank on prompts for you. Sorry.

Either I haven't seen that episode, or I just didn't notice (since I had never heard of Doctor Who at the age I would have been watching that) at the time. I'll have to look for it on Youtube later.

Last episode ever until Eccleston, and Seven yells that immortal line twice. Very entertaining.
