Late to the party

[eve11]

But I have now seen 7x01: Asylum of the Daleks and have a reaction post.


Holy shit, that was awesome. HOLY SHIT. Moffat made the Daleks scary again. I loved it. I will probably post something more coherent at some point but right now it's just pure squee. Sorry for those expecting something more rational. And, unexpected Jenna-Louise ParkerColeman*!!! OMG What do you want to bet she teleported up to the TARDIS and will be a stowaway for the next four or five episodes.

AAAAaaaaa welcome back new Who!!!! :D :D :D

*I was so excited I forgot the right name.

Man, I don't even understand how tumblr works; it seems like you can't comment on entries the same way you do on LJ. That, and also it seems like all it is is animated gifs for content.

I love that we met Oswin immediately! And holy crap she was a Dalek! So what are we going to see at Christmas? Oswin pre-Dalek-ification? OR Oswin, computer genius, post-Dalek-ification making herself a new body of some kind?

Amy and Rory... they didn't do much in this episode except fight and break up. But I did like their scene together where they talk about the issues, and also they had some good lines: "What color? All the good questions were taken." and "Someone's never been to Scotland." Ha!

Wonder what happens next week that they get picked up again...

also, DINOSAURS! On a SPACE SHIP. What can possibly go wrong with that???? Also also, is the creepy guy an actor from the Lord of the Rings? Maybe Denethor or something?

I should compile a lengthier post at some point.

You can't. Sometimes people enable replies, and then you can, but usually you have to reblog to add your comment. And yes, it's mostly gifs, gifsets, gorgeous photoshopped stills, and then people being REALLLLLLLLLY cranky. There is no fanwank like Tumblr fankwank, and you would not believe the social justice arguments that go down on fandom and non-fandom Tumblrs alike. I had to take a semi-hiatus this summer because just having other people's arguments and angry tags show up in my feed was stressing me out too much.

I don't know! There is a lot of speculation based on production stills and random fan theories, but I don't know how much you're avoiding spoilers, and it's all spec now anyway....

Yeah, it was kind of tacked on, but they had so many issues dumped on them by canon that it was sort of good that the writers were at least acknowledging in a tacked-on way that their lives have sucked lately, and that that is probably affecting their "normal happiness" or whatever. And haha, yes. I liked Rory's bit with the Dalek "eggs," and also when Oswin was trying to flirt with him and he was just really confused and busy trying not to die and was like, fine, just call me Nina.

Dinosaurs on a space ship is the most perfect episode concept I can think of, except perhaps if they could find a way to work kittens doing math into the show, which is unlikely, but hey, they've had cat nuns before. I don't know, is that the guy who played Denethor? My brain went straight to KHAAAAAAAAN, so idk.

[eve11]

Hahaha oh dear, I may have to write you a proper Doctor Who story with kittens doing math. I bet we could do something with the cat-people from Gridlock...

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Oh man, that would be amazing! You should not feel obligated, though. :P

[eve11]

I've been so slack on writing lately. Back to being annoyed at the WIP-o-doom, but maybe writing a few other things will help get me unstuck. I was also thinking of writing Fitz/Donna for livii. Ah, I should make a list.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Oh, if you have time/inspiration, otherwise, don't worry about it. :) And I was just talking to someone about the meme the other day and they were saying they couldn't wait until the WIP-o-doom updated, so. Not to rush you, just so you know it remains well-loved. :P

[eve11]

aw, thanks :) I am hoping to work on this section some more tonight and this weekend. I had envisioned a scene there many months ago that I think I need to abandon or move somewhere else or otherwise let go of.

It seems that folks are starting to remember the meme exists; it was pretty dead for a while. I did write one other thing there recently, just a silly timey-wimey misplaced comment fic. I need to focus on finishing this next section of the WIP-o-Doom in whatever way it finally decides to manifest. I have to throw out my navigation chart at least for the next 2500 words or so. *sigh*

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

OMG that was you? That thing with the causality loop and the meta-humor and all the puns that was two misplaced comments strung together? THAT WAS THE MOST INGENIOUS THING EVER!

But yeah, the meme has been pretty dead and is waking up slowly. I put some fluff up there last week and would probably write more if I had better luck finding prompts that weren't my own...and I can't really help with the porn.... :P

Is the section that's being a problem the one I looked at that you're making edits on, or the one that would come after that? Or a part of the one I saw that was still in placedholder stage?

[eve11]

Ha yeah, I figured the concave/convex math-y joke would give me away. That poor misplaced fic commenter...she misplaced-commented a comment on her own misplaced comment. How else can one possibly respond to that level of insanity? :D

Did you write the Rory/Amy one-shot scene after Pond Life #2? That was sweet. :)

ETA: I am trying to re-write the stuff I sent you a few weeks ago, then must decide what exactly happens next because the scene that I thought would go there (and had written short notes for) does not fit anymore. But that's okay; I just have to get to the next action sequence. Then I know what happens exactly for a while, and mostly for the rest of the story unless it up and changes on me again.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Haha, misplaced-misplaced comment fic. :D

I did! Hee, thanks. :) I thought I was going to get buried in homework, but while my analysis professor remains extremely gung-ho about everything, my other classes have been kind of slow to start out. My algebra class is just about to *drumroll* learn the Euclidean algorithm, so when I haven't been bashing my head against "Gaughan's Analysis," I have just been derping around LiveJournal far more than is reasonable.

It sounds like you mostly have it figured! It's always annoying when stories have ideas of their own, though, heh. :P

[eve11]

I am trying to work out some physics of something that I told myself a year ago wouldn't bother me if it was completely impossible. I think it involves vectors. But also the sudden addition of (possibly infinite) mass to a moving object? (goes back to F = ma and kinematics diagrams)

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry, I can't help with that. It's my great shame as a math major that I last took physics in the eleventh grade. :P

[eve11]

My dad is a physicist but I'd feel weird calling him up and asking him a question about a story I'm writing! And yeah, the last time I took physics was...second semester of college? About 16 years ago. D might be able to help me out; he's an engineer (though a chemical engineer) but he also studies a lot of ballistics for his target-shooting hobby.

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

I hope someone can help you figure it out! You could always try Physics Forums, although the people there are sometimes helpful and sometimes crabby, and as evidenced by the fact that even I occasionally post there, don't always know very much about physics.
