miscellaneous miscellany

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?

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.

He did seem a little nervous, didn't he? I also felt really sad when he said that it was his only talk show interview in the States. It reminded me of that clip from the Emmy awards where the interviewers were fawning over Amazing Race host guy and completely ignoring David Tennant, who was standing around in the background looking a bit lost.

Being a Doctor Who fan in the U.S. is very lonely. Thank god we have the internet! And both David and Matt will be big stars here someday. I have faith!
