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!

I've stumbled across two spoilers for that episode already

I too have learned a little more about the episode than I wanted to, and in my case it's *more* than two spoilers -_-'. Nothing too plot related, but they were tidbits I think I were better off being surprised by while watching the actual episode. I'm so bad it this, I don't think I've gone spoiler free for shows I watch since I was a little kid, back when I didn't know how to use the internet.

It doesn't help I'm too easily tempted.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I saw "Army of Ghosts" back before I was on LJ, and there was a surprise in that episode that was great, a true "OMG!" moment that I somehow think would not have been a surprise if I had been more involved in Doctor Who fandom at the time. But LJ and the internet have pointed me towards a lot of wonderful stuff I would never have known about otherwise -- for example, the Planet of the Dead parody by Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre -- so it's worth it anyway.
