Two Things of Note

These two links go to LJ entries that contain something of value:

First, this is Doctor Who fanfic, a speculation of what might have been happening to the Doctor as he lay on the floor of his TARDIS during "The Christmas Invasion." It's actually pretty good.

Next, we have an essay from funwithrage on bad writing. She calls it "somewhat pretentious," I call it well-written. Even the footnotes. "Hot Throbbing Ancestral Manor," indeed. Be warned: Izzie has a habit of rendering LJ names without lj-code, which is fine, of course, but this means you'll get some "huh?" moments when she mentions, for example, an LJ-ID like "relevance" without any other identifier. Reasonably intelligent folks will manage.

Doctor Who News

The DVD release date has been pushed back to 4 July 2006.

Why, you ask? Because the Sci-Fi Channel has decided to pick up the series, and the BBC wanted to give SFC time to show the series before it released the DVDs to the States. They figure this will increase sales; they're probably right -- lots of folks not yet fans will be brought into the fold, I'm sure.

Hrm. I need a decent Doctor Who Icon.
