Now welcome folks, I've got a thing to say
About the fireworks show that saw in New Year's Day.
The lights were all right, and the fireworks hot —
Not the bloke though whose verse introduced the lot.
I'm not any sort of expert on rap,
But his scansion was poor and his rhymes were unfortunate.
It's not a thing that gives me a good deal of hope,
Seems verse has declined since the great days of Pope.
In fact now I happen to think it all through,
It's sunk even lower than McGonagall too.
There's a lot of work needed for 2023
To be the greatest New Year show in the Galaxy.

Well, it seems this is what JMS will be doing now he's missed out on the Doctor Who Hot Seat.

Many happy returns to thisbluespirit!

I have managed to write birthday fic, which may be UNIT dating fic, or it may be me breaking the rule about never AUing S&S. Or both. Or neither.

The other day I was reading a risk assessment for an organisation reopening to the public in the face of COVID-19. I'm afraid it reminded me of nothing so much as this Girl Genius strip.

• Do not share pens. It is a trap that will kill you.
• Do not touch the Point Of Sale Machine. It is a trap that will kill you.
• Do not drink milk other than that you yourself have brought. It is a trap that will kill you.
• Do not use food preparation equipment other than the kettle. It is a trap that will kill you.

And so on for five pages.

This seems to be my reaction in fic to the State of Things in the Whoniverse. Not sure whether it's worth archiving, so it's just going here for now.

Doctor Who fans will “need a very strong drink” after “rollercoaster” finale, says show boss

I don't need a very strong drink. Therefore...

I'm not sure if what I'm describing has a name, other than 'trying to build one thing with the pieces of another'. It's the sort of thing I've done from time to time, starting in childhood with Lego, or trying to build Ace in online doll-makers.

Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't, depending on how flexible the pieces are. And this is one reason why Spyfall part 1 didn't work for me. ( Collapse )

For a lot of the year, I wondered whether I'd write enough to make it worthwhile doing this. Anyway, let's get the decks cleared:
