Tate Icasa: Once upon a time, a little boy ran away from the Capitol into the mountains because he was afraid of his eighth birthday. In the mountains he found solitude but no solace, and was nearly ready to turn back when he met a fellow traveler on the downward path. The little boy asked after the traveler's name. 'I am the Toclafane,' the traveler said, 'and in good faith, my name for yours.' Because the little boy was not yet eight years old he had only his true name to offer, and the Toclafane knew him. 'You are afraid,' the Toclafane said, and the little boy admitted he was. 'You do not have to be afraid of growing, nor of life and death,' the Toclafane said. 'I can take them from you. Should you like that?' The little boy thought about this, and agreed.
Tate Icasa: So the Toclafane took the little boy's life and death, stripped him of his regenerations and ate his soul.
Tate Icasa: Aria terrifies me sometimes.
Tate Icasa: Sometimes you need someone to stop you, even if it is not Donna Noble,
because Rose Tyler never did.
Tate Icasa: Aria, again.
Tate Icasa: Rose stays because she doesn't remember what she did to save the
world. Martha leaves because she
does.
Tate Icasa: Reinette reminds him of Romana. This is just a straight-up fact in my
head, because so far the only Romana serial I've managed to get my
hands on is City of Death, also known as That French One Where
Four And Romana Are On A Date. The parallel doesn't have to be any less
superficial than that, but it's still
there.
Tate Icasa: get online, you
Tate Icasa: Somewhere amid all this I wondered where that fanon 'Koschei' thing
had come from. I discovered that it came from a Missing Adventures novel
which blithely explained how the Master had become evil because the
woman he loved betrayed him; this left an extremely bad taste in my
mouth, as well as being a lazy way to turn someone evil.
Slashy: 1. I will never be able to think of the Toclafane without hearing that fairytale again. Thanks.
Slashy: 2.
Oh. Yes. Yes, that's EXACTLY why Rose was bad for Ten.
Slashy: 3. . . .Martha also leaves because the Doctor does not treat her well. But I like Aria's interpretation better.
Slashy: 4. I didn't ship Four/Romana before I read that. I must go get my hands on City of Death.
Slashy: 5. Sorry. Marla and I had an anniversary, so I didn't go anywhere near a computer yesterday.
Slashy: 6. Like the Master was ever in love with a
woman. *scoffs*
Tate Icasa: Ooh, what anniversary?
Slashy: 9 months
Tate Icasa: . . .really?
Tate Icasa: it doesn't feel like it's been that long
Slashy: well, it has
Slashy: so, the first time you watched BHH through, did you see the potential Vaughn/Lucas in "Storm"?
Tate Icasa: . . .I'm just watching that one now
Tate Icasa: creepy coincidence
Slashy: I don't believe in coincidences
Tate Icasa: shut up
Tate Icasa: and no, I didn't
Tate Icasa: but this time?
Tate Icasa: YEAH. That should have been WAY more obvious.
Slashy: I blame you for my new obsession with Aria.
Tate Icasa: I don't know how you managed to miss her, to be honest.
Slashy: mm
Slashy: she's going on my List
Tate Icasa: the one in your lmnoperation signature
Slashy: yeah
-
Slashy: what are you up to?
Tate Icasa: watching television, playing ponystars, rereading DW novels
Tate Icasa: avoiding updating your Who's Where When
Slashy: nice
Slashy: you do need to update it EVENTUALLY, tho
Slashy: just so I know where everyone is
Tate Icasa: I know
Tate Icasa: I will
Tate Icasa: later
Slashy: which novels are you rereading?
Tate Icasa: Sting of the Zygons, The Stone Rose, Last of the Dodos
Tate Icasa: Why those three, I don't know. But those were the ones I read.
Slashy: Nice.
Tate Icasa: Now I'm going to sit down and pay attention to the last couple episodes of BHH to record on my DVR.
Slashy: Are you about to claim this as research?
Tate Icasa: Can I get away with that?
Slashy: . . .just this once.
Tate Icasa: Whee! Okay!
Tate Icasa: hee, I love "Who?"
Tate Icasa: "Explain it to me." "There is no way I am giving him the talk."
Slashy: mas
Slashy: that scene, the one you're talking about, sets off random kink buttons in my head, due to Marshall's use of the pointer
Tate Icasa: phallic imagery, whee!
Tate Icasa: I hate you for giving me this fic
Slashy: you do not
Tate Icasa: it won't leave me alone
Tate Icasa: you know the best time for the plot bunnies to show up?
Tate Icasa: while I doing paperwork, and my JOB
Tate Icasa: ugh
Slashy: aw, honey
Slashy: in my defense, those plot bunnies are yours entirely
Slashy: I just gave you the jumping off point
Tate Icasa: that metaphor is SO mixed. . .and gives me an amusing mental image of plot bunnies jumping off a cliff like dodos
Slashy: I think that mental image
Slashy is typing...
Slashy: of course, you know that halfway down that cliff they evolve into the divebombing form of the species
Tate Icasa: lovely
Tate Icasa: ta
Slashy: you know what makes the idea of City of Death even better?
Tate Icasa: are we still on that?
Slashy: yes
Slashy: I'm intrigued by the Four/Romana
Tate Icasa: *sigh* Okay. What makes it better?
Slashy: even if the Four/Romana is all fans wishful thinking. . .there was real Lalla/Tom going on.
Tate Icasa: . . .you're right
Tate Icasa: that does make it better
Slashy: just like the David/Sophia made Ten/Reinette better
Tate Icasa: xP

Slashy (11:38 PM): Hi!
Rachel T (11:38 PM): Hey!
Slashy (11:39 PM): how goes it?
Rachel T (11:39 PM): Good. Just got back from the second to last show.
Rachel T (11:39 PM):
Slashy (11:39 PM): ooh.
Rachel T (11:40 PM): I'm very excited.
Rachel T (11:40 PM): Only five more days and I'm DONE with this shit forever.
Slashy (11:40 PM): nice. congrats
Rachel T (11:40 PM): If your crime was so heinous as to deserve the death penalty, then it
should be within 7 to 10 business days that your death occurs.
Rachel T (11:41 PM): I love you, Krys
Slashy (11:41 PM): *giggle*
Slashy (11:47 PM): so. . .did catch up to us yet? *big eyes*
Rachel T (11:48 PM): ...no.
Rachel T (11:48 PM): Next week, I told you, didn't I?
Slashy (11:48 PM): actually, last time we talked, last week, you said "Monday."
Rachel T (11:48 PM): I lied.
Slashy (11:48 PM): which was, um, nearly 5 days ago. So I noticed the lying.
Rachel T (11:48 PM): Mm.
Rachel T (11:48 PM): Didn't we talk wednesday?
Slashy (11:49 PM): for, like, five seconds. and I didn't ask
Rachel T (11:50 PM): Okies.
Rachel T (11:50 PM): I can't remember that far back.
Rachel T (11:50 PM): I can't remember twenty minutes ago, at this point lol
Slashy (11:50 PM): nice
Rachel T (11:50 PM): I blame theatre
Slashy (11:51 PM): nice
Slashy (12:00 AM): Versaphile hosts a Doctor/Master version of Teaspoon. . .
Rachel T (12:01 AM): xD
Slashy (12:02 AM): it's called The Prydonian. Hee.
Rachel T (12:02 AM): nice
Slashy (12:03 AM): and I finally found the Sickathon post. That makes me happy.
Rachel T (12:03 AM): good
Slashy (12:04 AM): you're very monosyllabic tonight
Rachel T (12:04 AM): tired
Rachel T (12:04 AM): reading fic.
Rachel T (12:04 AM): sorry.
Slashy (12:05 AM): I see. What sort of fic?
Rachel T (12:05 AM):
community.livejournal.com/tw_itallchanges/Slashy (12:05 AM): ooh
Rachel T (12:06 AM): Plus Ianto treated informative exposition as foreplay sometimes.
Slashy (12:06 AM): . . .*grin*
Rachel T (12:07 AM): Jack's preggo right now. So's Gwen.
Slashy (12:07 AM): *must find the free time to READ things*
Slashy (12:09 AM): . . .it's weird that when I think of Four/Romana I think "But she's too young for him!", right?
Rachel T (12:09 AM): ...yes
Slashy (12:10 AM): I think it's because she's a Time Lady. *frowns at self*
Slashy (12:12 AM): . . .Blagojevich is on the new Celebrity Apprentice? Really?
Rachel T (12:12 AM): ...
Rachel T (12:12 AM): That's hilarious.
Slashy (12:13 AM): that ALMOST wakes me want to WATCH it
Rachel T (12:14 AM): ditto
Rachel T (12:24 AM): Jack was sure he had a stealth mode. Hell, he could joke that he
invented stealth and JJ would probably buy it. Ianto wouldn't buy it.
Gwen might buy it, but only if it was on sale and she could exchange it
if it didn't fit
Rachel T (12:25 AM): And I was wrong. Scanner say Jack isn't preggo.
Slashy (12:39 AM): so, I have a Whoniverse canon question.
Rachel T (12:39 AM): I can't promise I have an answer, but I'll give it a shot.
Slashy (12:40 AM): in Time Crash Five says to Ten something along the lines of "you've changed the desktop theme to coral"
Slashy (12:40 AM): if that's the desktop theme, how can you grow a new Tardis from a piece of it
Slashy (12:40 AM): I'm not a programmer, but I'm pretty sure that's not how it works
Rachel T (12:40 AM): I think Five meant the collor.
Rachel T (12:40 AM): *color.
Rachel T (12:40 AM): christ.
Rachel T (12:41 AM): Plus, that's Time Crash. It's not really canon, is it? It's a little for-charity thing.
Slashy (12:41 AM): Five's Tardis was a very creepy white walled room and corridors. Eight had a room from a Victorian mansion.
Slashy (12:42 AM): I've always counted Time Crash as canon, as it explains why the shields are down for the Titanic to crash through.
Rachel T (12:43 AM): Still. I think he meant the color. Or, well
Slashy (12:43 AM): just like I count the little segment between tPotW and tCI
Rachel T (12:43 AM): You have a "Windows" desktop setting, don't you?
Rachel T (12:43 AM): Maybe that was all he meant.
Slashy (12:43 AM): I hope so.
Slashy (12:44 AM): . . .I am not a maths person. But I now want to actually DO the maths to figure out how long it would take Rose and Handy to grow a Tardis if that deleted scene were canon. . .dammit. I HATE maths.
Slashy (12:44 AM): HATE
Rachel T (12:44 AM): *shrug*
Slashy (12:45 AM): also, I understand what most technobabble is getting at, but what the fuck does "shutterfly" mean?
Rachel T (12:45 AM): it's a website, according to google
Rachel T (12:46 AM):
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShutterflySlashy (12:46 AM): right. don't think that's what DoctorDonna was getting at with "if you shutterfly the. . ." though.
Rachel T (12:46 AM): *shrug* it's silly technobabble?
Slashy (12:46 AM): obviously
Slashy (12:47 AM): that deleted scene makes me cry. it's a DELETED SCENE. it should NOT make me CRY.
Rachel T (12:47 AM): *hugs*\
Slashy (12:50 AM): "Human with a Time Lord brain, perfect combination! We can travel the
universe forever. Best Friends! And equals, just what old skinnyboy
needs, an equal!" Does that not make the ending THAT MUCH more painful? Wah!
Slashy (12:50 AM): EQUALS
Slashy (12:50 AM): *wibble*
Rachel T (12:50 AM): *sniffle*
Rachel T (12:50 AM): DONNA!!
Slashy (12:52 AM): on the subject of Donna. her mind will burn, because she is not a Time Lord, and now has a Time Lord brain. Way back in the classic, the Master downloads himself into Tremas, Nyssa's father, and remains in that body for SEVERAL SERIALS. The FUCK? Really?
Rachel T (12:52 AM): Rusty is EPIC FAIL at the research thing.
Slashy (12:53 AM): I mean, Tremas was a Trakenite, technically. But there are NO physiological differences between Trakenite's and Humans.
Slashy (12:53 AM): . . .random apostrophe. . .
Rachel T (12:53 AM): Again, Rusty+research=epic fail
Slashy (12:54 AM): obviously. this was the Ainley!Master. You know, other than Deldago, the ONLY ONE who's name anyone knows off the top of their head.
Slashy (12:55 AM): . . .whose. Fuck.
Rachel T (12:55 AM): Y'd think he'd have at least checked...
Slashy (12:55 AM): you have Ainley, Daldago, and Simm. And then, er, five or six others.
Rachel T (12:55 AM): lol
Slashy (12:55 AM): I'd think that. Right up until I remember that it's RUSTY.
Slashy (12:56 AM): . . .I really, REALLY want a copy of Scream of the Shalka
Rachel T (12:56 AM): Tate and I are trying to recall that magic time when we were only mildly annoyed with Rusty, instead of hating him.
Rachel T (12:56 AM): And I really can't.
Slashy (12:56 AM): it WAS a while ago, wasn't it?
Rachel T (12:57 AM): "The Queen loves Jack, always has, always will. He could show up to
Buckingham Palace covered in bees, give Her a hug, and I wager She'd
knight him."
Slashy (12:58 AM): . . .I'm slightly curious as to why he'd be covered in bees
Slashy (12:59 AM): ugh, internet failed
Rachel T (12:59 AM): shame
Slashy (1:01 AM): my internet hates me sometimes. we're still not sure of the wiring around here.
Rachel T (1:02 AM): Ah
Rachel T (1:02 AM): When we move in with Alan, mam says we're switching to DSL from roadrunner.
Slashy (1:02 AM): apparently, turning on the microwave shuts off the modem. god.
Slashy (1:02 AM): ooh, roadrunner
Rachel T (1:02 AM): I have informed her that she can shove it and I will pay for my own fucking internet, because I will not use that shit.
Rachel T (1:02 AM): ...That's incredible.
Rachel T (1:03 AM): DSL is SHIT.
Rachel T (1:03 AM): But his son-in-law works for the company, so...
Rachel T (1:03 AM): ><
Slashy (1:03 AM): nice
Slashy (1:08 AM): okay, so, here's a question: on a human, it's all symbolic and stuff to tattoo your lovers name/picture over your heart. What would be the Gallifreyan equivalent?
Rachel T (1:08 AM): have two tattoos
Rachel T (1:09 AM): ...I just had a thought about doing a Torchwood MST.
Slashy (1:09 AM): do the hearts have the same symbolism when there are two of them?
Rachel T (1:10 AM): Please tell me what a horrible idea it is so I can't complain at you for not trying to convince me not to do it later.
Rachel T (1:10 AM): Hm...
Slashy (1:10 AM): DO NOT DO THIS THING YOU ARE THINKING OF DOING
Rachel T (1:10 AM): good question.
Rachel T (1:10 AM): Maybe on their scalps over their brains?
Slashy (1:10 AM): hair?
Rachel T (1:11 AM): How much would it even matter? I mean, when they do it, won't they regenerate and lose it?
Rachel T (1:11 AM): Shave.
Slashy (1:11 AM): and I am FIRMLY IGNORING the concept of telepathic tats. because I don't want to go there.
Slashy (1:11 AM): then they'd look REALLY silly
Slashy (1:11 AM): (not that most of them don't ALREADY, but still)
Rachel T (1:11 AM): mmm
Rachel T (1:12 AM):
Spike had been having these dreams, these dreams that involved a certain red-headed witch.
Ginny Weasley?
Slashy (1:12 AM): heh.
Slashy (1:12 AM): it's a shame there's no decent Spike/Willow fic out there
Slashy (1:12 AM): maybe they have special ink that doesn't go away when
they regenerate
Rachel T (1:13 AM): House decides to pull a prank on his favorite ex-duckling now that she
works in the ER. Will Cameron take it lying down or fight fire with
fire.
Couldn't she do both? Lay on her stomach and shoot a flamethrower? I'd buy it.
Slashy (1:13 AM): I mean, it's not genetic or anything. and they're TIME LORDS
Rachel T (1:13 AM): Would Time Lords really get tattoos though? I mean, from what I've seen of them, the majority of them don't seem like the type to get a tattoo.
Slashy (1:14 AM): work with me here
Rachel T (1:14 AM): sorry.
Slashy (1:14 AM): and I'm so obviously not talking about the High Council or, really, anyone other than the Doctor and the Master
Rachel T (1:14 AM): House decides to pull a prank on his favorite ex-duckling now that she
works in the ER. Will Cameron take it lying down or fight fire with
fire.
Couldn't she do both? Lay on her stomach and shoot a flamethrower? I'd buy it.
Rachel T (1:14 AM): grrr
Rachel T (1:14 AM): When an Earthquake hits DC what will happen, who will get hurt
Since this is totally improbable, so will my answer be - Nathan Fillion.
Rachel T (1:14 AM): That was what I was trying to do...
Slashy (1:15 AM): and tell me the Master DOESN'T want to tattoo his own name on Ten. go on, convince me
Rachel T (1:15 AM): I can't.
Rachel T (1:15 AM): I really can't.
Slashy (1:15 AM): so, help me out with the symbolism
Slashy (1:15 AM): and then I can go on about my theories on Ten/Master sex psychology. ^_^
Rachel T (1:16 AM): ...I'm trying not to make a triforce joke, because it would be lame and dumb and unfunny.
Rachel T (1:16 AM): Maybe between the hearts?
Slashy (1:16 AM): okay, I can work with that. . . .what would a Gallifreyan name LOOK like?
Rachel T (1:17 AM): I...
Slashy (1:18 AM): I mean, surely we SAW one, somewhere in the Visionary's scribbling, right?
Rachel T (1:18 AM):
images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/archive/tsv41/g/ohg3.gif&imgrefurl=http://nzdwfc.tetrap.com/archive/tsv41/oldhighgallifreyan.html&usg=__88I5stw2xxvdW5YR-RIlkij7uYs=&h=625&w=500&sz=31&hl=en&start=11&sig2=kIIbhtcAy7pG1XUo_X924g&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=0PgisAUOOuXMoM:&t nh=136&tbnw=109&prev=/images%3Fq%3DTardis%2Bconsoles%2Bgallifreyan%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-USfficial%26tbs%3Disch:1&ei=Y1qkS9jdKsX7lweTy73ACA
Rachel T (1:18 AM):
nzdwfc.tetrap.com/archive/tsv41/oldhighgallifreyan.htmlRachel T (1:18 AM): there.
Slashy (1:19 AM): Old High Gallifreyan looks like maths. I should probably be less surprised.
Rachel T (1:20 AM): mm
Slashy (1:21 AM): okay, so, I am going to rant now about my theories on Ten/Master sex psychology
Slashy (1:21 AM): unless you tell me not to
Rachel T (1:21 AM): kay
Rachel T (1:21 AM): I'm going to go rot my brain with Torchwood bad!fic.
Slashy (1:21 AM): prolly for the best, that
Slashy (1:22 AM): no, I was reading through LOTS of Ten/Master porn and the majority of them had that overall theme of "Ten wants gentle, tender, sweet lovemaking, and the Master wants rough sex." and I go "WHAT?"
Slashy (1:22 AM): because, REALLY?
Slashy (1:22 AM): do you buy that? that that's where Ten is?
Slashy (1:25 AM): YARGH, INTERNETS
Rachel T (1:25 AM): sorry.
Slashy (1:25 AM): did you say something while my internets were fail?
Rachel T (1:25 AM): I think Ten is very repressed and wouldn't know what to do with himself. At all.1:23 AM
Master would probably act like he wants it rough, but really? No, probably not. They'd have lots of communication issues, I think.1:23 AM
The Master wouldn't even want to be in charge, probably. Not really.
Rachel T (1:25 AM): and I was actually about to ask you what kind of bad!fic I should search for.
Slashy (1:26 AM): I don't think you should search for badfic at all. it's not good for your brain.
Rachel T (1:27 AM): I rarely do things that are good for my brain.
Slashy (1:27 AM): and, entirely aside from Ten's repression, post-Time War Doctor wants gentle? Really? After genociding his own people?
Slashy (1:27 AM): do people really think that?
Rachel T (1:29 AM): Ten probably wants it rough from the Master. For he is teh emos.
Slashy (1:30 AM): and yet, I've seen TWO, grand total TWO fics wherein this is the case. I don't understand. I get that the point of porn is not psychology, but shouldn't you know your main characters mindsets?
Rachel T (1:30 AM): ...HEre's one where Sarah Jane is Ianto's step-mother...
Slashy (1:30 AM): I. . .no, I don't want to know.
Rachel T (1:30 AM): I decided Not to do that one.
Slashy (1:31 AM): yeah, that's a good idea
Slashy (1:31 AM): yay you
Slashy (1:34 AM): *le sigh* Internet did it AGAIN.
Slashy (1:34 AM): and I wish I could get out of the
crossoververse for long enough to write crack. or even PWP. just
something short that's NOT crossoververse
Slashy (1:37 AM): murgh. mne. urk. grr. and again.
Rachel T (1:37 AM): internets die?
Slashy (1:38 AM): and die, and die
Slashy (1:38 AM): and DIE
Slashy (1:38 AM): ugh
Rachel T (1:38 AM): *hugs*
Slashy (1:39 AM): *snuggles* it's not as nice a trait in internets modem as it is in Jack. It's really not.
Slashy (1:39 AM): *beats modem with cricket bat*
Rachel T (1:41 AM): No. I imagine not.
Rachel T (1:41 AM): ...
Slashy (1:41 AM): my modem is also not as pretty
Rachel T (1:41 AM): WHY DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO PICK SUCH LONG FICS TO MST?!
Rachel T (1:42 AM): no, not I'm sure it's not.
Slashy (1:43 AM): you shouldn't READ long fic, if that's what happens to you
Slashy (1:44 AM): . . .so. much. hate. for. this. modem.
Rachel T (1:44 AM): Sorries.
Rachel T (1:45 AM): Everyone makes mistakes, Torchwood included. <<Should this not be 'especially Torchwood'?
Slashy (1:45 AM): isn't that Torchwoods usual MO?
Slashy (1:45 AM): I'm hoping this constant dying thing is just a phase and will go away soon.
Rachel T (1:46 AM): You're adorable when your hope is about to be dashed.
Slashy (1:46 AM): . . .aaaaaaaaaaand *die*
Slashy (1:47 AM): urgh
Slashy (1:47 AM): *pout* I'll be back in a minute. I'm going to switch which circuit the modem is on.
Rachel T (1:47 AM): good idea
Slashy (1:50 AM): back. am SO hoping that works
Rachel T (1:50 AM): *hopes with you*
Slashy (1:52 AM): *sigh* I feel as if I should rework ALL SEVEN CHAPTERS of Human Nature. I haven't touched it since I posted it. In late 2007. Why do I have the urge to rework it?
Rachel T (1:53 AM): ...
Rachel T (1:53 AM): I couldn't tell you.
Slashy (1:53 AM): it's because it's my least favourite thing that I've written. I actually like it less than the obnoxiously fluffy Doomsday fix-it I wrote.
Slashy (1:53 AM): *headdesk*
Rachel T (1:54 AM): *hugs*
Slashy (1:55 AM): and while I want to rework it, so that I like it again, I simultaneous don't even want to READ it again
Slashy (1:55 AM): meh
Rachel T (1:55 AM): Is it suspension of belief or suspension of disbelief?
Rachel T (1:56 AM): hah
Rachel T (1:56 AM): I stopped myself from leaving.
Rachel T (1:56 AM): *fistpump*
Slashy (1:57 AM): it's. . .it's second person written from inside Jack's head, and I feel like it's
off. Like when I wrote I didn't quite get it yet. And now I do, and it makes me cringe.
Slashy (1:58 AM): that's the same problem I ended up having with A Little Bit Of An Absolution, but in the end I didn't post that one.
Rachel T (1:58 AM): I see
Slashy (2:00 AM): well, Absolution wasn't second person, but other than that. . . the psychology is important to me
Slashy (2:01 AM): the actions, even if they're things that they WOULD do, don't make sense in the context I've described them in, because the motivational psychology is off. if it were pictures instead of words, it wouldn't bug me as much.
Rachel T (2:01 AM): I see.
Slashy (2:02 AM): . . ."and the next bit of the Two Years series should be out by the end
of the week." I'm SUCH a liar. It's STILL not out.
Rachel T (2:04 AM): Lol
Rachel T (2:04 AM): It's OK.
Rachel T (2:04 AM): I've been promising to update a fic for about four years now.
Slashy (2:04 AM): it's WRITTEN, though. I've just not typed it and sent it off to be beta'd. for two years.
Rachel T (2:05 AM): ...Yeah, mine's not written
Slashy (2:05 AM): it's just. . .I got swept up in other projects, and it go filed away and. . .er, I forgot about it, really
Rachel T (2:05 AM): lol
Slashy (2:06 AM): see, at one point, I sent the first half to Tatey-chan for betaing
Slashy (2:06 AM): I remember that, because she kept complaining to me about how the words "Jacks arse" ended up in the most awkward places on the paper she was betaing from
Slashy (2:06 AM): but I never typed or sent the second half
Rachel T (2:07 AM): I remember that one!
Slashy (2:08 AM): heh, yeah. I. . .really should type and send the second half. Except. . .oh, I get the feeling she would yell at me so much for sending her things to beta while she's writing fic I forced on her. . .
Rachel T (2:08 AM): mm
Slashy (2:09 AM): *sullenly* even if I did do most of the work on it before I sent it to her and said "here, you deal with this"
Rachel T (2:09 AM): lol
Slashy (2:10 AM): I DID, though. It was that EoT fix-it I wrote about half of after writing "PS" and "Blatent Foreshadowing"
Rachel T (2:10 AM): ah
Slashy (2:10 AM): up to her to find an ending for it, tho
Slashy (2:11 AM): she yelled at me the other day because the plotbunnies swamped her while she was at work
Slashy (2:11 AM): *grin*
Rachel T (2:11 AM): lol
Slashy (2:12 AM): "Slashy: in my defense, those plot bunnies are yours entirely
Slashy: I just gave you the jumping off point
Tate Icasa: that metaphor is SO mixed. . .and gives me an amusing mental image of plot bunnies jumping off a cliff like dodos
Slashy: of course, you know that halfway down that cliff they evolve into the divebombing form of the species
Tate Icasa: lovely"
Rachel T (2:13 AM): I think more lemmings, even though the Disney people filming those lemmings forced them to jump off fake cliffs
Slashy (2:13 AM): the dodos tied in with the discussion we'd been having about DW novels
Slashy (2:14 AM): *shrug*
Rachel T (2:15 AM): wtf?
Rachel T (2:15 AM): brb refreshing...
Rachel T (2:16 AM): It now has something agains apostrophes.
Rachel T (2:16 AM): oi
Rachel T (2:16 AM): My compy is so fucked up
Slashy (2:17 AM): sorries
Slashy (2:17 AM): . . .the typos do not make the psychology in this any
easier to deal with. Ugh. Was I not using a beta at the time I wrote this?
Rachel T (2:17 AM):

Rachel: hey
Rachel: How come Moment left out both Rodney and Teal'c in her Dramatis Personae on FT?
Tate Icasa: er, sorry, I was at church
Tate Icasa: I should really learn to sign out when I go away. . .
Tate Icasa: and I have no idea, ask her
Rachel: mmm
Rachel: She's not online.
Tate Icasa: she should be, soon
Rachel: My widget is telling me she's not, anyway
Tate Icasa: *frown* she promised me info on Sinclair/Cyrus/Alexander tonight
Rachel: maybe she'll get on late
Rachel: *later
Tate Icasa: she'd better
Rachel: speak of the devil...
Tate Icasa: heh
Tate Icasa: oh! Rusty was AWARE that CoE was not a Torchwood story. He was even annoyed about said fact. But he panicked and cannibalized an idea he had that was meant to be three 6-episode series.
Rachel: ...
Rachel: WHAT?!
Tate Icasa: yup
Tate Icasa: on another note, David mooned the speedboating paparazzi during the TCI shoot.
Rachel: ...That's awesome.
Rachel: That actually almost makes up for the epic fail you just told me about.
Rachel: Is the picture that the paparazzi please MUST have gotten on the internet?
Tate Icasa: i've no idea
Tate Icasa: but one of the makeup girls was behind him and he didn't know it
Rachel: lol
Rachel: What's with Rusty and letting his series get exported to the US?
Tate Icasa: he thinks its a brilliant idea
Tate Icasa: *eyeroll*
Rachel: Why?
Tate Icasa: not sure
Rachel: We ruin pretty much everything.
Tate Icasa: I think he's mad, to be honest
Rachel: I think you're right.
Tate Icasa: . . .Russell Tovey apparently has a hot policeman boyfriend
Rachel: lol
Rachel: that's awesome
Tate Icasa: that's what I said
Tate Icasa: Rusty calls Merlin the best competition Doctor Who has.
Rachel: Really? He actually admits they have competition?
Tate Icasa: and he thinks it's a good thing
Rachel: Why does he say he doesn't like Stargate again? I honestly can't remember.
Tate Icasa: he thinks it's "silly"
Rachel: ...
Rachel: And the show about a humanoid alien running about in a 1960s policebox isn't 'silly'?
Tate Icasa: apparently not
Tate Icasa: of course, he also seriously considered a Who / Enterprise crossover
Rachel: ...
Rachel: Wow. Just. Wow.
Tate Icasa: urk. my DVD player won't play my Earthshock DVD
Rachel: Why?
Tate Icasa: dunno. I put disc in, nothing happens.
Rachel: sad
Tate Icasa: mm
Tate Icasa: gosh, I wish I could remember which Three serial has the awesome swordfight. . .
Rachel: xD
Tate Icasa: no, seriously awesome swordfight, wherein he gets the Master's sword away from him, STEALS HIS LUNCH, then gives him his sword back because he's having fun. I want to remember which serial it is, so I can find out if I own or need to find it.
Rachel: That is amazing.
Rachel: Absolutely amazing.
Tate Icasa: that's what I said when I read it the first time. after giggling madly.
Rachel: if you do have it, we have to watch it after we watch reunion on friday.
Rachel: that is absolutely amazing.
Tate Icasa: I'm going to look it up. I was trying to remember, but I give up. . .wait. I think I'll ask Moment first.
Tate Icasa: she says it was The Sea Devils.
Tate Icasa: which I own
Tate Icasa: *dances*
Rachel: ...my cat is randomly running up to the wall in the hallway, attacking part of it, and running back.
Rachel: I think he might be mad.
Tate Icasa: this is also the episode wherein Three visits the Master in prison. . .
Rachel: YES
Tate Icasa: Imma go watch Castle now, to avoid watching this right this second
Rachel: xd
Rachel: have fun
Tate Icasa: this is me showing self restraint
Tate Icasa: also, Moment said she had to "look at her notes"
Tate Icasa: TEN MINUTES AGO
Tate Icasa: I wants my info!
Rachel: xd
Tate Icasa: should random crossoververse dialogue make me "aww!"?
Rachel: depends on the random xoververse dialogue
Tate Icasa: Twelve: You love him?
Malcolm: That's. . .entirely inconsequential.
Twelve: *surreptitious glance at the Master* Yeah, that's what I used to think.
Tate Icasa: that. that makes me "aww!"
Rachel: That makes me giggle and aw
Tate Icasa: that dialogue is even cuter in context.
Rachel: xd
Tate Icasa: it's BAD that every time I watch ANY telly these days I immediately start looking to see if it's crossoververse compatible, yeah?
Rachel: xD
Rachel: Probably
Tate Icasa: this occurs to me because I found myself thinking a cute little scene where Richard Castle decides to branch into sci-fi due to the first contact.
Tate Icasa: and it won't go away
Rachel: xD
Rachel: I'm sorry
Rachel: *hugs*
Tate Icasa: Kate would be annoyed because Castle would want to go use Sarah Jane as his new muse.
Rachel: xD
Tate Icasa: it's a REALLY persistant thought
Rachel: I know those.
Rachel: Usually mine are terrible ideas, though. Yours is hilarious.
Tate Icasa: it doesn't help that there is no real canon reason this could not be so
Rachel: My sympathies. Suggest it to her.
Rachel: Ugh. My dog has farted.
Tate Icasa: I wonder if he and Kate would actually be together by first contact. . .
Tate Icasa: dammit *headdesk* I don't want this.
Rachel: *shoulderpat*
Rachel: Y'know what bugs me?
Tate Icasa: what?
Rachel: That one story in Consequences where Ianto goes and kills all those people.
Rachel: That really bugs me.
Tate Icasa: does it
Rachel: It does.
Rachel: It was very action-hero.
Rachel: Ianto is not an action hero. He's not James Bond.
Rachel: He is sadpandaemoboy. He is sensitive. Which sounds, y'know, like a bad thing. But the way it was written, it was sorta...
Rachel: psychopathic.
Rachel: And it bugs me and seems really OOC.
Rachel: /rant
Tate Icasa: Alexis is actually acting like a real teenager this episode! Finally!
Rachel: ZOMG!
Rachel: I need to find out when John's gonna be on Desperate Housewives, because I need me mam and Alan to catch me up on what's been going on.
Tate Icasa: *giggle* sounds like fun
Rachel: Oh.
Rachel: It was on TONIGHT'S EPISODE.
Rachel: GOD.
Tate Icasa: *giggles more*
Rachel: WAY TO UPDATE ME ON THIS, COMMS.
Rachel: I WATCH YOU BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE THIS, GOD>
Rachel:
oh boy! what barrowman lacks in
acting talents he makes up for in volume! no, i won't be watching, IN
MY OPINION he's annoying as can be, all teeth and.....and not much
else. wow hes getting old and squishy looking!
girlie | March 11, 2010 8:23 PM
Rachel: FUCK YOU.
Tate Icasa: "Shut the front door!" Nice censorship there, Kate. *giggle*
Rachel: lol
Tate Icasa: last episode, Castle was correcting the grammar of a note, written on a dead girls face.
Tate Icasa: he was on about it all episode.
Rachel: I love Castle. Right now, I've just decided.
Rachel: I am in love with Castle
Rachel: .
Tate Icasa: Castle is awesome.
Tate Icasa: also, Castle started a betting pool on who solves which murder first. Then ran around all episode trying to make sure Kate didn't notice. Until she did, when she yelled at him, then put $100 on them and took control of the pool.
Rachel: xD
Tate Icasa: it was great.
Tate Icasa: . . .Alexis just mentioned how once, Castle stole police horses. Naked. *giggle*
Rachel: ...Was that in an actual episode? Tell me it was in an actual episode.
Tate Icasa: I don't recall seeing that.
Rachel: Aww.
Rachel: That's sad.
Tate Icasa: meh! five minutes to the end of the episode and my Megavideo time runs out!
Rachel: I hate it when that happens.
Rachel: Have I mentioned to you how I love that as soon as I got back online, everybody abandoned the RP again?
Tate Icasa: you have not
Rachel: I gotta go
