this year's love had better last

[sab]

I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE I'M IN LOVE WITH A WONDERFUL GUY!

I have fallen hard for the Doctor, sine qua non, in all of his various faces and haircuts and scarves. Yes, okay, particularly Ten(nant), for his big eyes and his white sneaks and his grin that can KILL A PERSON, but I promise you, those who are quick to waggle your fingers at me and peg me a Johnny-come-lately (and of course I am, thank you Russell T Davies), I'd love him if he looked like a tomato as long as he retained his arrogant, womanizing, brilliant, timeless, sarcastic, bitter, playboy, reckless, insensitive, lothario ways.

GIP. And slodwick has even promised me a layout. I've never had an LJ layout before, and I been around since July of ought-one. BUT I'M IN LOVE.

And, okay. I say this not only to stake my claim (and yes, you all were here first, and I'm not here to impose, or challenge, or threaten) but mostly because not since Josh Lyman have I been this in love with someone so unfortunately fictional. Talk about bad object-choices. Aching craving till a TARDIS shows up in my living room. And sex dreams! PINSTRIPED SEX DREAMS.

But, it promises to be fun, at least for me. Oh. And there's fic happening. Um, gen sort of womanizer-Doctor-centric, with Rose and Mickey. Yeah.

"School Reunion," I think, was my favorite, and then "The Lady in the Fireplace" came and knocked me off my feet. I maintain TLitF might be the best episode of anything, artistically, technically, narratively, erotically, dramatically, visually, ever. HOT, if you'll pardon the expression, DAMN.

What is your current layout, btw? I mean, standard lj layout? Because I want to switch mine to yours.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

The thing says I'm using A Sturdy Gesture with a custom color scheme? But I coulda sworn it was a customized Generator instead. And you can opt for the sidebar/links list in the customizer page. I've had this since my LJ was born, it used to be red and white (for the last five years); now it's finally green and white, for summer!

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm using Generator (with customized box width and background) - I like the sidebar for links rather than the top box, and the icons on each post. I just need to get my nerve up to mess with it. Thanks for the info.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

You're so right. This is A Sturdy Gesture, but I deleted most of the schmancy colors and made a simple red/white (now green/white) theme. I love it and definitely recommend it -- I do hope slod can work my customized awesome layout around these boxes...

DID I IN FACT NOT TELL YOU?

LET US GATHER AND WATCH EPISODES AND TRY NOT TO GIGGLE AND THEN FAIL. I AM UNEMPLOYED AND AVAILABLE.

I ENJOY THE SATAN PIT TWO-PARTER THE MOST, I SUSPECT. IT IS VERY GOOD ON MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS.

[lizlet.livejournal.com]

FOR ONE THING, HE WEARS A BIG HELMET AND THEN ROSE KISSES HIM ON THE HELMET.

IN ADDITION, I ENJOY THE CHILDREN IN NEED MINI A GREAT DEAL. BECAUSE HE HAS A MOLE.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

YES THE IMPOSSIBLE PLANET IS SUPER AWESOME AND I SCREENCAPPED THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE IT'S ALSO BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT AND PLUS A PIT! WITH ACTUAL SATAN IN IT! BUT OH OH HOW I LOVE MADAME DE POMPADOUR AND THE SPACE SHIP WITH FRANCE ON IT AND THE DOCTOR, OHH, THE DOCTOR.

YOU DID TELL ME. LET US GATHER INDEED!

[lizlet.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOODNESS YES. WHAT IS YOUR SCHEDULE LIKE? YOU CAN CALL ME OR EMAIL ME AND GIVE ME THAT INFORMATION.

LET US ALSO NOTE THAT SOMETIMES THE DOCTOR WEARS A TIE, AND *SOMETIMES HE DOES NOT.* LET US MAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF THAT, INDEED.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

LET US ALSO NOTE THAT HE DOES NOT BUTTON HIS JACKET ALL THE WAY DOWN, SO WHEN HE SHOVES HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKETS LITTLE SHIRT-CLAD TUMMY POKES THROUGH. LET US NOTE *THAT*, MY FRIEND!

I AM SHOWING JAMIE S2 NOW. WE JUST FINISHED MILADY IN HER FIREPLACE. TONIGHT I HAVE CLASS. AND THEN! WE WILL TALK.

[lizlet.livejournal.com]

MARVELOUS.

[fialka.livejournal.com]

Oooh, Sab does The Doctor. I can't wait. 'Cause you know the hiatus for this show is *loooooooooooooong*.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

Yup. Christmas my rose-colored arse. *g* I might even borrow you for British slang help?

Oh, oh god, it hurts. It actually HURTS, all this love. GOD DAMMIT.

[fialka.livejournal.com]

Absolutely. For good Docfic, I'm all yours.

Well, I'm all yours anyway, but the LJverse doesn't need to konw that. *G*

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

Hee. *claps hands* It's always so fun to watch people catch up with gleeing on stuff you glee about.

Isn't he just the most awesome shiny thing ever? *sigh*

I thought he was particularly charming and shiny and excellent in the Rise of the Cybermen/Age of Steel. Can't WAIT to see what whofic you turn out because you've got such an eye for character details. :) Have you started picking through the fic yet, or are you still all post-coital from finishing the season?

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

No? Rec me some fic? I'm a much better writer than I am a reader, but I s'pose it'd be irresponsible of me to write for this fandom without reading it first?

*ALSO CLAPS HANDS*

YES. SHINIEST THING EVER. EVER.

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

These are some of my favorites, in no particular order. I don't think any of them are over 5000 words.

And on the self pimping end, I'm rather proud of A Sort of Man

http://del.icio.us/k8andrewz/fic:doctorwho is the fic I've tagged so far. About 85 or so stories. Mostly Ten/Rose of varying quality and tone but all good enough I wanted to make note to read again, and some really great stuff. And um, my own stuff. That should set you up for a bit. :)

[fourteenlines.livejournal.com]

You are so cute. And I agree with you very much. *g*

Ten is LOVE. SO MUCH PINSTRIPED LOVE.

I've got a (stalled-ish) Ten/Romana fic in the works, only The Office keeps stealing my muse for the writing of Ryan slash. But! I will survive, you know, FINISH THE THRICE-DAMNED THING ONE DAY!

I need a TEN icon, I think. Hmm.

[jenavira.livejournal.com]

TEN! TEN TEN TEN.

Doctors = love. :D

[fmangel.livejournal.com]

Love.

I am watching some without you tonight. I am sure that I wont get to that many.

I need a ten icon. also, a nine. but right now I am in throws of ten. I hate screencapping.

I'll use Ewan. All brits are the same, of course. etc.

xo

[msilverstar]

Friend of Eso's, just wandering through, and your doctor-love makes me smile. I hope we can get her into DW sometime!

[projectjulie.livejournal.com]

OK, I'm a wee bit jealous ;)

of course, I understand. except for the part where he has a penis. but it hurts that way sometimes, the way I love my insert name of current primary TV partner here Laura.

[iamsab.livejournal.com]

When we're PAPAPA'd comfortably in Vancouver, I get to bring Mr. Ten over for special occasions. *g*

I ain't never loved no man as much as I love YOU.

[projectjulie.livejournal.com]

oh the orgies we will have, with Ten and Roslin and all and sundry TV significant others! if Ten is as rakish as you say, I'm sure he'll get on famously with Laura. and I'll even do it with him for you, biscuit, as long as I don't have to touch the dangly bits.
