miscellaneous miscellany

[dbskyler]

I've decided not to do Yuletide after all. I'm just not feeling it this year, for several reasons. First, it's looking like I might have a busy work month. I also notice that two of the four fandoms I wanted to offer have no requests -- how sad! -- and one of the fandoms I wanted to request has no other requests, and possibly no offers. (I realize you can't tell that for sure from the summary, but if no one else wants it, what are the odds that someone has offered it?) Finally, my biggest fanfic wish right now is to have something posted on my WIP by the end of the year, and if there's any chance of that happening, I need to keep myself free from other fic-writing commitments. So, no Yuletide. Instead I'll just sit back and enjoy the action from the sidelines, and look forward to reading the archive once it opens.

In other news, my S5 DVD boxset has arrived! I'm starting to make my way through the extras. Any particularly good commentaries I should listen to right away?

I also had the slightly surreal experience of seeing Matt Smith on the Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Doctor Who on American mainstream network television! Go Matt! And go Craig for being a huge fan and inviting him on! Now we need to get Matt onto other talk shows before he wraps up the Utah filming and leaves the country. Conan, you seem like the type of person who might be a closet Doctor Who fan, how about it?

Aw... I am still rooting for you to finish the Turn Left fic!

I am entirely confuseled by the offering/requesting summary sheet. Does it only show fandoms that have been requested, so if somebody offered a fandom one wanted to request but nobody else has requested it yet, you can't tell? Or... I do not even understand. o_O

Aww.. that's a shame! Although, if it means more Turn Left, I can't really complain :) I saw some pretty cool fandoms there, but seeing as I have four ongoing WIPs, I refuse to start something else (also, I'm not sure I'm capable of writing something without crossing it over with Doctor Who...)


Ooooh, hooray Craig Farguson! Yeah, didn't he have a Big Bang sketch where he tried to convince Sheldon he should be his new friend cos he's a Doctor Who geek? I think that was him... ;)

Aw *is sad*

I totally understand on the work front, though. It's been the same for me till now - this time of the year is usually a nightmare!

Although no requests is no guideline whatsover - four of my offers have no requests. People can make loads more offers than requests, so there could be someone out there dying to write it. Or not. Which is a pain as regards this sort of thing.

But that's a bit sad. (From a purely selfish point of view, anyway.)

Good luck with Turn Left though - it will feel good if you get it done!

Aww.... I know what it's like knowing that a particular fandom of yours doesn't have much reception, it is rather disheartening. Good luck with writing Turn Left though! I look forward to it! :D

Seeing Matt on the Late Late show really was surreal... and awesome! XD He seemed so fidgety and nervous but he looked like he was having fun and fit in rather well with the craziness.
