Fic Update, Toys, and Plotting

[amberfocus]

Well, both A Sky Without Zeppelins and the next chapter of You're What? are rolling along quite nicely.  The first is a little over 1700 words in and the second 1400, so both are about half done.  I'm trying to think up something for a sequel to Body Paint, but all I'm getting is grumpy, uncooperative Nine grousing at Rose.  Tried to come up with some smutty fluff for ladychi who isn't feeling well and all I've managed is a couple hundred words of hurt/comfort that is far more hurt than comfort and I don't think that will make anyone feel better. *shrugs*  I'll likely just save it and insert it into a "the Doctor is being a jerk" chapter of something else.

On a bright note, I ordered my Christmas presents.  I am such a child.  I am getting the 5 inch characters from Doctor Who.  Nine, Rose, K-9, Donna and Ten in his ghost hunting gear from Army of Ghosts because I wanted him in the brown coat and not the space suit.  I also got the Talking TARDIS money bank, the one with Rose and  Nine on the inside, not the one with Ten and Martha.  I think I will be getting the TARDIS playset for my birthday in February.  What I did not get was the sonic screwdriver.  I read too many reviews on it that it broke too easily. *pouts*  Not spending $40 for a glorified flashlight/pen if it's gonna break.

Was there ever a season one Rose produced or is the only option of her in that top from New Earth?  Does anyone know if a season four Rose is going to be issued?

I also ordered the remaining Ten/Rose books that I don't yet own and 4 of the Eighth Doctor books I could find.  I need to get a handle on Eight better than what is represented in the TV movie of him for my eventual Better with You fic that will include him.  Besides the movie all I've to go on is fanfic, namely whochick's stuff, Emery Board's stuff, and the bit of him from Rallalon's Non-Linear Love Story.  But since I want to be sure he's as accurate as possible, books.  I'll get some more for my birthday, I think.  That part of the Better with You series is ages away, though.  First I gotta finish Hunger Moon and several more in between.

On a very bright note, I've started plotting out the last seven chapters of Of the Vortex Born.  It's slow going but I think it may actually see an end now.  If I get time to write it.  DH was so lovely in helping me brainstorm it.

Every time I see mention of Zeppelins I get excited.

I think that is the only Rose there is; it's the only one I've ever seen & I've got it. Along with ghost-hunting Ten. I've asked rozzietheaussie for Ten-in-a-blue-suit for Christmas, because I think it may be necessary. My Ten & my Rose live together between books on my shelf. They are hand holding, because I'm cool.

I <3 my sonic screwdriver. It's awesome.

Sorry, I ramble about my Who toys.

*laughs* Well, of course they are holding hands. How else should they be? My Nine and Rose will definitely be close! If they make a season 4 Rose with a blue suit Ten I will definitely get those, too. *grins*

Their hands don't quite fit right so they have to face each other for hand holding like so.

Also; my sonic screwdriver is fairly sturdy, I'm not exactly gentle with it & I've not broken it yet.

Tee hee. And how hard is it to make them snog?

[electrictoes.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know, of course *angelic*
But not difficult.

LOL! You should see the interesting 'positions' that my Nine and Rose action figures get in to....

i've been thinking about getting the ghost busters 10 (I want him in brown too...) but was wondering if the pack comes off ? 'cause I wouldn't want it on him all the time...

I may end up getting the 10/Rose/Cassandra pack if it doesn't...

all I really want are 9 and 10.

Yeah, mine's been in its box for months, it just slips off his shoulders =]

cool ! In that case I'll order that one a 9, although the only 9 I'm finding right now is $20... *harumph*

thanks !

(btw, love your icon... there's a converse outlet about 30 miles from me... I don't let myself go there...)
