Nothing Like Being Double-Teamed by the Classics http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/015318.html Drunk customer: What kind of drunk return policy do you have?
Cashier: It's a 14-day return policy.
Drunk customer: That's not much of a drunk policy. Most guys get drunk and wake up next to women they regret the next day. Me? I wake up next to Dostoievsky and Dickens after a bender. I love New York!

Well, that's sorted. *dusts hands* This is potentially the last Torchwood or Who fanfic I'll do for a while, simply because next on the docket is Jack and Ellis and I'm trying to eliminate the number of projects I have running at one time. The fact that I want to write fanfic for this fanfic is just a sign of how mired in metacommentary I have become. Second City Torchwood, which posited a Torchwood created, filmed, and set in America, was a lot of fun, and popular enough with readers that I thought I'd do a second season. Of course, that meant I had to at least touch on Doctor Who, Torchwood's less gritty, more science-fictiony spinoff starring John Barrowman as the immortal and mysterious Doctor. And neither of these stories would be complete without a behind-the-scenes look at the actors and day-to-day of filming, or the enigmatic executive producer Edgar van Scyoc and his reserved, cerebral head writer Ellis Graveworthy. Title: Edgar van Scyoc Presents: Doctor Who Sequel to: Second City TorchwoodRating: PG-13 (mainly for language) Summary: The American sci-fi drama Torchwood has been renewed for a second season. Its spinoff show, Doctor Who, is much anticipated by fans and critics alike. Managing the actors and getting scripts out on time is nothing new for executive producer Edgar van Scyoc and head writer Ellis Graveworthy, but their own relationship is evolving as well. Follow along as Torchwood defends Chicago from alien gamblers, mad scientists, tentacle monsters, and other menaces, while the Doctor visits the end of the world, a new New York, and eras of time long-past on Earth.

Nothing is less cool than waking up, seeing that your bedside clock says "7:15", and believing it's a workday where you have to get up at 5:45.
On the plus side, I was instantly WIDE AWAKE. :D |

I've been writing my face off all day and now it's time for Sam's Three Things About Doctor Who! Spoilers for Episode 4.13: ( Journey's End )3a. I have to admit I like this season's finale way better than last season. Not that Harold Saxon wasn't, uh...fun? but this was less glowy-Jesus-Doctor-of-unintentional-hila rity. I like the Doctor dark, I suppose. Also, this means that The TARDIS House Rules has been completed. Nicholas is a shadow-dweller, but he does still need a plot to keep him going. :D Title: The TARDIS House Rules Rating: PG Summary: Life with the Doctor is both simple and complex, but fortunately Nicholas and Donna have the Whenkipedia to guide them. Spoilers: Through the finale of season four of Doctor Who. Note: Part One was posted about a month ago; Part Two is new. Part One | Part Two |

Character Hate I'm sure each and everyone one of us likes at least one character that is actively hated by more than a couple of people. Provided they're only hating on the character, and not fans of that character, and aren't shoving their hate of that character in your face (you can still enjoy the character and the fandom), does it really matter that much if someone hates a character you like? Generally speaking, I'd rather have someone hate a fictional person than a real person. It may hurt the author if you hate their character(s), but you hope that the author can handle people not liking characters they want them to like. Even when the reasons they hate them may seem (or are) wrong. Usually I'm on the "keep your character hate to yourself" side of the fence, but I think unless the person is saying character X is horrible and therefore anyone who likes character X is horrible, or making it impossible for you to enjoy the fandom (you can't avoid them) then you just have to shrug it off (or, someone doesn't like the things you like, get over it). Unrelated, but I finished watching Rome. When they switched to older Octavian, I was so weirded out by Simon Woods' acting, b/c it was very intense (but good, it worked IMO). And then I remembered I'd seen him before, in Pride and Prejudice as Mr. Bingley. And the contrast between the two of us way he portrays Mr. Bingley and Octavian is hilarious. One is all "Hello! I'm ever so happy! :D:D:D My hair is happy too! It says hello, kind sir, to you! :3:3:3" and the other says "JSYK, I WILL BEAT YOU, BUT ONLY BECAUSE IT GIVES ME SEXUAL PLEASURE. :| MY HAIR IS IN TURNS RED, BLOND, AND BROWN. :| I WILL, MOST LIKELY, CREEP YOU THE FUCK OUT. GOOD NIGHT, MY DEAR. :|" A poll for your troubles: I was thinking about the appeal of drinking vs. the appeal of consuming other drugs, and of writers that are/were drunks vs. writers that are/were addicted to other drugs, and then of those groups, which produced better literature. Not so much literature that centred around their experiences with alcohol or other drugs, but their writing abilities in general. Which, when you think about that way, their use of alcohol or other drugs shouldn't factor into whether or not their could write, but let's just take the poll, shall we? You will not be taken to task at the end of you days for participating in a faulty poll. And if you are, I hope you are drunk or stoned at that time. So! Alcoholic writers vs. all other drugs writers NOT including tobacco smoking, b/c its inclusion would muck up the results of this faulty poll. I really wish we could have poll results display in pie-chart form. I am going to submit that as a serious proposal to the place on LJ we submit stupid stuff we want. Poll #1218237
Open to: All, results viewable to: AllOf the writers who happen/ed to be addicted, the best are/were: I think you ought to know I am madly in love with you. Current Mood:  bored |
