happy things

[dbskyler]

It's been five days since I posted my latest fic, "The Spotter's Guide to the Doctor," and it got a hugely positive reception, so much so that it's left me a little dumbfounded. In fact, based on the number of reviews and favorites, it is now my most popular story on Teaspoon. Given that before this it had been five months since I'd completed a fic, I'm feeling pretty happy right now. I should write fanfic more often, shouldn't I? (Not that I haven't been trying to work on that . . . )

Another thing that's making me happy is the return of Sarah Jane Adventures! Elisabeth Sladen did a marvelous acting job in "The Nightmare Man," and it's just wonderful to see the show back again.

Something else that is making me very happy: we are now just two weeks away from the episode of SJA! Is it possible to grin continuously for two weeks? I think I might be finding out!

Finally, on a less self-absorbed note, all the trapped Chilean miners are now free! It was great to see so many people come together and successfully pull off such a complicated rescue. Watching that capsule go down and up was the best reality television show ever. Vive Chile!

Good for you! I'm glad to hear your writing is doing well. And yes, you should write more, you're great at it! Actually, the day you posted the fic, I went back to go re-read all your stuff I liked, even went and clicked on some of the stories I hadn't taken the time to read up 'til then XD That was fun.

SJA was fun! I've been so feeling deprived of Whoverse stuff lately. I liked the horror-story feel and there were a great number of touching moments in the episode that i just loved (I think I loved Mr. Smith's goodbye to K9 a little more than its worth). Old!Mad!Sarah Jane was disturbing and fun XD. I was sad to see Luke and K9 go though.

About that episode, oh god, I'm getting more and more impatient. The episode was given an advanced screening the other night and it's kinda killing me to know that some people have already seen it RRGGGHHHHHHHH. I think I'd be faring better if the episodes were airing next week, but no, we have to wait TWO weeks. I need to learn you spoiler-avoidance techniques.

I heard about the miners too. That's great news!

You writing more = a very good thing! Glad the story's proving so popular!

SJA got a leetle bit too mawkish towards the middle of ep 2. But that's kinda standard fare for SJA so I ignored it.

YES. :-)

I still haven't seen SJA - I'll have to do some catching up, I can tell.
