December already?

I am once again doing the WIP challenge at writethisfanfic this month, and the good news is I forced myself to work on the story last night. The bad news is, I took out more words than I put in, so I am starting off with a negative word count. Hopefully I'll be making up for that by this weekend. Which reminds me, we don't know the December fic_rush weekend yet, do we? I think I'm going to need it again to pull me out of this hole I keep putting myself into.

Not doing Yuletide, but I did hang up a stocking at fandom_stocking. It seems like a fun community, although it does feel a little awkward to advertise my stocking -- like I'm shilling for gifts or something. However, since there are umpteen gazillion stockings, I will go ahead and point mine out for any of you who are so inclined as to stop by: my stocking is here.

I've been going through the extras on the S5 boxset, and so far I am disappointed by the commentaries and the video diaries. Although it was slightly amusing to see the in-vision commentary for Time of Angels and notice the amazing amount of awkwardness between Steven Moffat and Karen Gillan. Can we please get David Tennant back in there, just for a commentary or two? Or Colin Baker? I bet he'd have some great things to say. So would Peter Davison. In fact, I think I'm going to have to go re-rent Arc of Infinity to remind myself of what a good commentary sounds like.

Hope everyone's December is going well so far, and to those of you who celebrate, happy Hanukkah!

Maybe I'm misremembering, but those look a lot more like clothes we used to wear in the '80s than the '90s. Of course, it could also be geographic differences? Anyway, from the opening scene I was immediately thinking we were in the mid to late '80s. I guess if it started in '89, though, I was only a few years off!

Poor Dexter indeed. His American accent is better than David Tennant's, if that's any consolation. ; )

Yeah, I was thinking that after I posted. I can think of US shows I'd seen years ago that I'd assumed were really old, and it turned out, they were pretty much contemporary with when I was watching them. I think things cross the Atlantic much sooner these days than they used to. An dthe first bits were 1989, so it was still the 1980s!

It is, I think! :lol: (And Colin never believes Spike's from America anyway... He thinks he's from Birmingham.)
