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 just bought two cheapie sonics from Who North America ($9.95 each) for my niece and nephew, but the one I bought for myself a while back for something like $18 is larger and seems sturdier (it was a redesign after the first one was found to break too easily).

Yes, there is an S1 Rose and I've got her! The face isn't that great (much better on S2 Rose), but I couldn't resist.

I've currently got Ten in his brown suit sans coat (although I'd love to get one with the coat), S2 Rose, the ComiCon varient of Nine (with the green jumper), S1 Rose, K-9, and the Dalek from "Dalek" (with removable front piece so you can see the inside).

I really want to get that TARDIS bank with D/R (NOT D/M, thank you). Amazon.com you say?

Try eBay for some of this stuff. That's where I got Ten and S1 Rose. There are a million permutations of these figures (I got K-9 with Rose, for example). And if you don't care if it's not in the packaging (some folks buy the big sets and break them up), you can get them relatively cheaply, which is what I did.

Ooooh! Look what I found!
