Life Viewed Through an Amber Focus

Slowly but surely I'm getting all the picture prompts uploaded for the upcoming ficathon at sistersofguh so I can post it tomorrow.  Anymore prompts to add people?  I'd still like to gather anywhere from 5 to 10 more.  Remember to say what pairing of Doctor/Rose you want.  They can go here:  http://amberfocus.livejournal.com/404229.html.

I've got pimping permission from T&C and am just waiting on hearts_in_time.  Any other comm owners reading this who'd be willing to let me pimp the ficathon?

Also, the lovely yavie_namarie made a banner so that's crossed off the list.  Is pretty, y/y?



Also, we got a lovely illustration posted for Little Jack yesterday over at liljacks_corner, but I'm sad to say that illustrations are the only things that have been received and there have been no fics to date.  Everyone was so excited about doing this and I just wanted to remind everyone, because Christmas is coming soon and it would be a lovely gift to this child.  Over 20 people signed up to write fics back in June, so please, if anyone has anything or is working on anything that could be finished in time for Christmas that would be awesome.

To those of you newer to my f-list Little Jack's Corner is a G-rated Doctor Who community created to help a little boy who lost his legs and will be permanently confined to a wheel chair for the rest of his life. The only thing that makes his life a little brighter right now is Doctor Who.  To read more:  http://community.livejournal.com/liljacks_corner/272.html and http://community.livejournal.com/liljacks_corner/846.html

Hey, everyone, I was wondering how those fanfics were coming along for little Jack, the boy who lost his legs and has been confined to a wheelchair?  I've received one (fantastic) preliminary sketch so far, but no fics or any updates on how the fics are coming along.  I know people are busy during the summer, but I don't want the ball being dropped on this.  If you all could let me know how things are going?  I'm crossposting this to liljacks_corner, so if you could update me on the post there that would be great.  Also, not everyone who volunteered joined the comm or put it on their watch lists, so if you pimped for this before, would you mind just putting a brief note up so that those people might see it and go on over there?  Thanks so much, my wonder f-list.

Hi, again, everyone.  I am so thrilled with the outpouring of offers that have come regarding my post earlier about the little boy in the wheel chair.  I have created a comm to deal with it all.  It's called liljacks_corner.  Please come and join me there.

Hey, everyone, I'd like to make a special request from the DW fanfic writers on my f-list.  A friend of mine has told me about a little boy in her life that is eight years old.  A year ago he lost his legs and he will never be able to use artificial legs.  He will be confined to a wheelchair for life and he's had a really, really hard time adapting to his situation.  He adores Doctor Who and Rose Tyler in particular.  He's only seen seasons one and two, but it's the one thing that is helping a little bit.

My friend asked if there was anyone I knew who would be willing to write a Doctor Who story for this little boy, using a character of a heroic little boy named Jack confined to some sort of fancy space age wheelchair, perhaps a flying one, who joins the Doctor and Rose for an adventure.  I write adult romance (very adult, usually) and do not feel like writing for younger children is the sort of thing I can tackle myself.  I was hoping there would be someone who could tackle doing a story like this.

There is so much talent and heart in the Doctor/Rose shipping community.  I've seen the outpouring of it before for Stacie and for disaster victims.  Is there anyone who thinks they are up for this?  Or more than one person?  I'm sure one story would be awesome, but more than one would be fantastic.

I'd also like to ask that this request be spread throughout your f-lists.  The more that people know about it, the better chance we'll have of at least one story to help lift this child's spirits.

Edited to add:  I've created a comm to deal with all of this.  It's called liljacks_corner.
