Natal Felicitations and Zombie Fic (Just Another Day)

Happy birthday, iko!

***

Meanwhile, the fanfic that wouldn't die hit me across the nose with an idea, this morning. Just a tiny little refinement to one of the characters, to better explain why she and her buddy are, um, buddies.

( Terminally bored? You'd have to be, to read this. )

Doctor Who Meets Top Gear

Found via qthewetsprocket

Star In A Reasonably Priced TARDIS.

I can't watch the vid, unfortunately. Methinks it's an non-UK-IP issue - that or their embedded video software ain't playing well with Mozilla, or possibly the server is overwhelmed.

I'll try later in IE but, for now, I had to share the link.

Two Whovian Nubbins

The Unauthorized Doctor Who CCG - several orders of magnitude better than the godawful licensed product inflicted on us in the mid 1990s. I'm still puzzling out the rules but, damn, look at that art! The creator has put a lot of work into making a game that's not only (apparently) playable, but looks very nice, too! If you're a CCG-head, join the Yahoo-group discussion list, as they get into the nitty-gritty with each "release". I watch it with a distinctly baffled air, myself...

Once I have the ink to print and the dosh for lamination pouches, I'll give it a go with the suggested pre-fab deck lists - assuming I can convince the husband to play with me, that is.

Dude! Faction Paradox cosplay! Who's up for it? Wouldn't that be a hoot at Gallifrey One? I think it'd be awesome, myself, but that might be the quart of soda I just ingested speaking...

...Part 2

Oh... it's definitely the sugar (and caffeine).

Not only am I suggesting cosplaying Faction Paradox, but iTunes just brought up Voodoo Child and now I have vague notions of a truly terrible masquerade number.

*ducks and runs*

Must... Stop... Researching. Need... Sleep... Badly...

Hmm....

How to develop costuming for Faction Paradox and not be mistaken for Sycorax? There's the challenge.

For what it's worth, I agree with the fanon notion that the Sycorax were one of the races "seeded" by the Faction. They're just too bloody (ahem) similar.

However, this doesn't make realizing this silly idea any easier.

Why is always the silly ideas that run away with my forebrain?

This is why I've got three unfinished feature treatments on my HD. Writing costs me nothing but time and a lot of tea. Right now, I've got nothing but time, if not an infinite amount of tea.

Costuming, on the other hand... It's deceptive. Ask me about the final, it was how much? total for the Suzie Costello rig, sometime. And I thought that one would be cheap, silly me.

Still, as mentioned on the regular journal, at least daydreaming is still free.
