Fic Update, Toys, and Plotting

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.

I have my own sonic, as do both my kids, oh and I have the miniature sonic too, the one that is just the LED torch thingy. They are all fine really. Wish the same could be said of my daughter's laser screwdriver, that is so temperamental, though the one my son has is fine.

Go spoil yourself and get a sonic, you know you want one!

If you are starting to read Eighth Doctor books, you MUST read Father Time. It is the story of Eight and his daughter Miranda, saying nothing else! It IS expensive, but I managed to find a copy for £4 on Ebay from a bookshop in Cardiff of all places. I've just had a quick scan of ebay and there is a copy on there for $8.95, seriously YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!

Another fantastic one is Gallifrey Chronicles. Again not cheap, but you should find it on ebay reasonable enough. It is a brilliant story and features the Ninth Doctor...

Again saying nothing else!!

Just read your rec for 'Father Time,' and was so impressed that I just went to amazon.com & ordered it (used), for $9.94, + $3.99 shipping. Hope I enjoy it as much as you obviously did!

*Hugs*
