BoingBoing has an exclusive interview with David Tennant and RTD. You can watch it here—there’s at least one slight casting spoiler, for someone returning. Just warning anyone that might be avoiding all spoilers. RTD had to be stopped before he spoiled anything else. It’s a 19 minute interview.

Io9 discusses what shows people are hooked on, and recommends a few. After reading the comments over there, I’m considering tracking down the tv series of Invisible Man. Is it worth it? Farscape gets a mention—might try to get through the first episode one last time one of these days.

TV Shows We Wish Would Swap Writing Staffs. The best one to me is Torchwood and Dollhouse swapping writers.

The Science Fiction Sitcoms That Never Were. While the original (and awful) pilot for Wonder Woman isn’t mentioned in the main article, it is linked to in the comments.

And also from Io9: SF Television’s Most Eye-Melting, Ear-Bleeding Opening Credits. Includes K-9 and Company, the short-lived Sci-Fi series version of Flash Gordon, season 5 of Smallville, and many others. Enterprise is listed--the theme song is the only thing I liked about the show.

Over at the Support Stacie ficathon message board, my entry for what I will be willing to write once bidding starts has just been posted. It tells what fandoms (Doctor Who/Torchwood, Merlin, and Librarian) and what the restrictions are for what I will and will not be willing to write. I notice that I didn’t say what pairings I would be willing to write in the Doctor Who/Torchwood fandom. Doctor/Donna--Doctor and Donna as friends is just as good. Also, Jack/Donna, Jack/Martha, Martha/Doctor, Doctor/Jack. That’s all I can really think of at the moment. The bidding begins on the 11th.

storm_and_wolf is hosting a Ninth Doctor/Rose ficathon.

I’m still accepting votes for the Rahne and Illyana PB polls—the poll closes early tomorrow morning. If you haven’t voted already, please go here. And on that note, hollow_art made some Karen Gillan icons, at my request—you can see them here. If people could edit polls, I would have put that link in there.

dramaqueen469 is hosting a gift exchange here. You simply leave a comment with whatever LJ or fandom related thing that you want, and someone will try to fill that request. I haven’t posted what I might want yet, because I currently can’t think of anything

The latest round of Support Stacie is accepting sign-ups until September 4th—anyone interested in also signing up, please go here for more information. I’ve signed up to write (if anyone bids on me for anything) for Doctor Who or The Librarian, or Merlin.

Batman Beyond will be getting a miniseries at some point in 2010.

Oh, and Mom wants to know when the next season of Amazing Race is supposed to start. Does anyone know?

Over at idol_reflection, torn_eledhwen posted an essay about Donna Noble.

Felicia Day posted a spoof music video called Do You Wanna Date My Avatar. Until now, I’ve never watched any of her videos from The Guild. I might do so soon.

I’ve just finished the signing up process for the Support Stacie ficathon. I signed up for writing either Doctor Who/Torchwood, or The Librarian or Merlin for whoever bids on me and wins.

Oh, and Merlin seems to be starting earlier tonight—at 6 PM CST, and then the season 1 finale is at 7 PM. This is due to the Miss Universe pageant being on at 8 PM, apparently.

I’ve finally decided that I will sign up to write a story in the Doctor Who fandom for the Support Stacie ficathon. I’ll sign up in the next couple of days, once I think of the exact restrictions for what I will and won’t write. I’ll also try to come up with at least two other fandoms I’m willing to write for. Each offer will be a story at least 2500 words. Going by the fact that my last story (which I still need to write that sequel set between scenes) was 4153 words and the one before that was 3416 words, I can do that.

Would anyone be interested in bidding on fanfic in The Librarian, Sherlock Holmes, or Merlin fandoms? In addition to Doctor Who/Torchwood. If so, I’ll likely add them to the mix.

Still accepting votes for which person works best for Rahne or Illyana, in the poll over here. As of a few minutes ago, there hadn’t been any votes. Oh, and since the icons for Karen Gillan appear to be locked, and I can’t find any other icons of her, just go here—it’s an image gallery I found for her. Best I could find at the moment.

There’s an interview with Anthony Stewart Head about Merlin and Buffy, over here. Slight spoiler for season 2 of Merlin, but it’s not much. On a related note, promo pics for season 2 of Merlin can be found here.

Over at ghostbusters, there’s a discussion of the idea of Ghostbusters III. In the comments, someone linked to the opening scenes of the video game, if anyone is interested.
