Just a few Reminders

Entries for whedon_elite Challenge 127 "Close Crop" due Sunday October 4th 3pm EST.  There are 25 gorgeous entries so far, but more are always welcome. And in case you're wondering, the icons do not have to be close-ups of faces, although the examples and most of the entries are; they can be close-ups of anything.

Entries for slayerstillness Challenge 54 "Roy G Biv" due Friday Oct 9th midnight at your respective timezones. According to starry_night there are 21 entries so far but again, the more the merrier!

Entries for seasonal_spuffy Round 19 Banner competition due Sunday Oct 11 midnight PST. The theme this 10th anniversary round is "Look Both Ways".

Entries for btvsats20in20 Round 13 due Monday Oct 19 midnight at your time zone. Sign ups are open until then; themes posted here.

And finally - the brilliant beyond belief* clockwork_hart1 created a "multi-fandom" Gods and Monsters ficathon and I'm calling it ongoing because there are tons of great prompts and new ones being added constantly; so fill a prompt with a fic or artwork, and check out the works of art on the masterlist.





Gods & Monsters ficathon

If you don't believe my "brilliant beyond belief" description then please read her Buffyverse/Doctor Who crossover fic (death) for my birthday. Dawn is the Tardis. Dawn slides under and then there are hands on her chest and water spilling up her throat and for a moment Dawn is as big as the room and spreading further outward, as far as she can reach. (I fear Lucy might think I haven't read it because I didn't comment but oh goodness, I have. Or rather I didn't read it, I made it part of my life because her prose slides under my skin as easily as Dawn submerges herself beneath the water.)  If "I'm not familiar with fandom X" is worrying to you, don't let it put you off; I haven't seen any of the new Who series myself although I'm vaguely aware of the players. (Seven and Ace were my Doctor and companion, when I was in college and introduced to the series.)

The new Doctor Who is really just another show to me; as much as I loved S5; mostly because of Amy/Rory; wee!amelia and Fish Custard.

I managed to make it to halfway in S6 of the new show, but I could see where it was going and knew that I didn't want to follow. Before S6 ALL River Songs eps are absolute classics though; even the two-parter in the Library.

Blink is possibly amongst the best Doctor Who ever filmed, and I loved seeing Sarah-Jane and the Doctor meet; as well as The Girl in the Fireplace but, as much as I enjoyed those two eps it made me realise that if the show wasn't called Doctor Who, I probably wouldn;t be watching it.

Fish Custard???

I've tried not to read spoilers but I suspect I'll be unhappy with where they take River. S5 is probably what elisi was referring to when she urged me to watch River. (someday, someday)

Carey Mulligan was in Blink? Oh this I do need to see. Thank you for the advice and recommendations, this will be very helpful when I finally do get around to watching the new seasons.
