I'm afraid I've finally had to join the ranks of the Friends Only crowd here on LJ. If you're a Real-World friend of mine who I've sent to check out my LJ in the past, I implore you to consider registering with LJ, because I would love to have you here.
Otherwise, please comment to be added.
I do love to meet new people, and I'm always open to new people, but I do discuss my real life quite a bit on this LJ (as well as a wide variety of subjects from TV Shows, Music, Film, Literature...) so I will be hesitant to add anyone who doesn't share a common interest, or mutual friends. But do pop in and comment and we'll talk!

By:cookie2697 Rating: PG Characters/Pairing: Eleven Note: Unbetaed, so apologies in advance! Written for the then_theres_us ficathon. And oh dear God, I wrote Eleven. This was the prompt:
Title: Untitled Pairing/Characters: Ten/Rose, Jackie, Mickey, Pete, Donna Summary: Mid-S4 speculation reunion fic. Inspired by humansrsuperior's vid All to Dust. Rating: PG-13 Word Count: 2,700
Why I never posted it: I have no issues with this fic. I actually rather love it! But I've just never finished it. At the time that I was writing it, my goal was to finish it and post it before Turn Left aired - partially because I figured that's when we would know how canon would go, and because that's when I'd be leaving for my summer in England and I knew I wouldn't write on that trip. But...I didn't get it done in time. And then AFTER Turn Left aired, I figured it was irrelevant to post an out-of-date Season 4 reunion fic. Still, I've always rather liked it, so I've pondered finishing it one of these days. There's two parts done (approximately 8,000ish words total) so I'll post in two parts this week. Remember, unbetaed. Forgive me for word repetition!

Author’s Note: One last time, I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of y'all for the incredible response that you've given this fic. I know I keep saying thank you, but I have NEVER experienced a response like this to any of my fics before, and it really blew my mind and made me so grateful. This fic has been slowly working its way out of my head for over two years now, and as a result just finishing it and getting to share this with you all has just meant so much to me. Thanks again y'all! I hope you enjoy the ending!

Author’s Note: Apologies for being a few days late again. This week got away from me a bit. This chapter was a struggle for me, and I'm still not entirely happy with it, but everyone who has read it seems okay with it, so I'm going to send it out into the world and hope for the best!
