This is still fairly contained at the moment, but I anticipate much wankiness shall blossom as time passes...

As I'm sure most geeks and people with televisions living in the UK know, UK satellite channel Dave recently aired 3 new episodes of sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, which has not seen the light of day since about oh 1999 or 2000 if I'm not mistaken.

Fans cheer, all is happy in Red Dwarf town

Except in the corner inhabited by former "Holly" actor Norman Lovett, who is apparently rather pissed off about not being invited to the tea party. Blogs were posted trashing the new specials and his former coworkers, and subsequently deleted (anybody who has screencaps of these shall receive internet cookies) on his myspace page and several comments are passed around between Norman and his myspace pals, including this gem on Martin Curran's page in response to Curran's asking as to what happened to his disappearing blogs:

I put up info that I didn't mean to because it's for my autobiog which I'm working on at the moment. I can let you know that I will not be working with RD/GrantNaylor again as I have been treated appallingly by them over the years and there comes a time when it has to end.
Cheers, Norman

And of course the fans have to get in on the action on the official website forum, trotting out such insults as "miserable, bitter, old bastard" and that he's always been a "moaning git", and surprisingly few of them coming to defend someone they apparently liked a just a week or two ago. Speculation that this is all just hype to sell his new upcoming bare-all book is mentioned.

It's a tiny wank as of yet but if speculation that Dave will be ordering a full new series of Red Dwarf bears out, and when that book hits the shelves, I suspect delightful three-ring circus act on behalf of the happy little Red Dwarf fandom. I shall be making popcorn if anybody wants any.

Author's Notes:
For those who haven't read "Time's Crucible" or "Lungbarrow", ancient Gallifrey was led by female mystics and a seer with the title of The Pythia. Shortly after Susan was born, the Pythia, under the pressure of Rassilon's group that was pushing for reason rather than superstition, left Gallifrey and cursed it, causing the entire planet's inhabitants to be sterile. Rassilon and Omega set up a genetic database and several "houses" with their own genetic "looms" that basically knit together the next generation of Gallifreyans who were born physically adult and had 13 lives. The Doctor travelled back into Gallifrey's past after stealing the TARDIS and found Susan, who recognized him as her grandfather due to the fact that he shared the same DNA as her grandfather (and possibly some of his memories, if you take the hints in the series and book seriously). (if you want the whole story behind this, read "Lungbarrow" at the BBC Doctor Who website for free)

I'm too lazy to cut and paste and reformat and HTML-ify the word document, so I'm leaving it at the cesspool of mary sues.

Here's a handy link, though:

Book by Cover

Written for a 100-word challenge for the theme "broken broom"

( Broken Broom Challenge Drabble )

Not really specific to a particular incarnation. The quote at the beginning is from "Pyramids of Mars"

( Ephemera )

I'm particularly proud of this bit.

ps. It's not really slash, but you can pretend it is if you want. It's not much of a stretch, or so I've been told.

( Topography )

warning: semi-AU

( The Proper Care and Feeding of Ducklings )

Yea, I know, songfic=evil. It's the only one I've ever written and I'll never write another one. So shoot me. It reads well enough if you ignore the lyrics completely anyhow.

( Gloomy Sunday )

First decent plot-driven fic I wrote. I think it turned out fairly well.

( You've No Luck at All, Mate )

I have mixed feelings on this one. I've gotten the most positive feedback on it of everything I've written, but I'm not satisfied with it.

( Shifting Sands )

Inspired by "Pirates of the Caribbean" but not actually fanfiction. *gasp*

( Red Sam )

Warning: Weird!fic. Definitely weird. Not sure where the hell this thing came from, honestly. Probably written during one of my numerous bouts of depression.

( Mercy )

wrote this stuff ages ago, some of my oldest stuff in fact, so it's a bit shit. But I kinda like it anyway.
