Title: The Proof is in the Pudding
Author: azriona
Characters: Nine, Rose, Jack
Rating: PG-13 for nudity and implied sexual situations

Summary: Sex Pollen. It was totally Sex Pollen. That’s Rose’s story, and she’s sticking to it.

A/N: I wrote my 10K on my Nano novel today (10,005, to be exact), so per my promise, here is the OT3 fic I’ve been taunting wendymr about for the last two weeks. There are already five stories written (not posted) in this world. With your permission, I think I’m going to call it the Pudding Verse. Because I like that name, and I don’t think it’s been taken yet.

Not beta’ed by anyone, as it borders on crack. Hope you like it, Wendy!

( Vague spoilers for the CiN Doctor Who snippet )

Bill and I spent Friday at Mount Vernon - I regret to say that I completely forgot to bring Darth Dalek along, which I'd intended to do. (See! Dark Dalek in George Washington's bedroom! Which, actually, I couldn't have done, because the inside of Mount Vernon is copyrighted, as it turns out, and you can't take pictures inside the house. You can take plenty outside, which I did, and those will be up a little bit later. Sans Darth Dalek, though.)

Thank you!

( Thoughts on Water Music and Water of Mars. Not overly spoilery for either, except in tone of the show / fanfic )

Water Music continues tomorrow! It's rather exciting. For me. And maybe the three of you who were reading Water Music last year. :)

There are no spoilers for Water of Mars in the following conversation.

Dad: So I saw your last LJ entry and I thought you were writing about the water on the moon. So I read the entire thing and didn't understand a word, and then realized you were talking about a Doctor Who episode.
Me: Yeah. Sorry, next time I'll put a disclaimer on my entries, "This is an entry about Doctor Who. If you are my father, disregard."
Dad: Also, I would like to point out that it's Doctor Whom. If you're going to be grammatically correct.
Me: I'll make sure everyone online knows that, Dad.
Dad: English teachers are rolling in their crypts, you know.
Me: Oh, I'm sure they are.

Title: Timey-Whimey, Smurfy-Wurfy (6/8)
Characters: The Doctor, Rose Tyler, various Smurfs
Rating: PG

Summary: Smurf Village has some new visitors.

Disclaimer: I don't own Doctor Who. Nor do I own the Smurfs. As unbelievable as it may seem, I don't have my own personal stash of crack, either. You'd never think it, I know.

A/N: I said to amberfocus, "You didn't win me in the Support Stacie auction, but you can have a prompt anyway." Amber said, "Smurfs."

Beyond that, I have no excuse. None.

A/N #2: Today's NaNo goal is to write 10K. I said when I hit 5K, I'd post the next chapter of Smurfy-Wurfy. If I manage to hit 15K, I'll post the first part of the OT3 fic I wrote. I have 5,760 words written today so far....so here you go!

( Epilogue: What Happened After )

So, I think most folks on the flist are aware that there's another Fanfic Award thing going around - Words on the Wind. I know zilch about it, I have little to no intention of becoming half as involved as I am/was in the CoT awards, and for me, it's mostly been under the radar.

Today, I got a notification that one of my stories was nominated. So first, thank you to whoever nominated it. I'm very flattered that you remembered the story and took the time to enter it! I don't get many nominations, so I treasure every one of them.

Moving on....I'm not sure I should accept the nomination. The nominated story? Is the remix I wrote a few months ago. Specifically, Finding Rose (The Forty-three Days Remix) from the chips_remixed challenge over the summer. The story is mine - but it's based off something someone else originally wrote.

One could argue that I'm simply describing fanfic in general. Hush, you.

So I'm not exactly sure this is something I should accept, and I remember this seemed to be a discussion a while back. (Or maybe this was strictly among the mods at CoT, I can't remember.) Should an author be nominated for a remixed fic? Is it fair to the author of the original fic on which it was based?

Hence...poll. What thinketh you, flist? Do I accept the nomination or not? Mind, I don't have a CLUE what category it's in, although I suppose I should find out.

I sent a note to the original author to see what she says. If I don't accept the nomination...eh. I don't accept the nomination. It's not like I would have won, anyway, I don't write that sort of fic.

I am pleased to have been nominated, though - so whoever did that, thank you very much, and please don't take my dithering personally. I feel as though I'm always complaining about these types of awards, regardless of the outcome, and I really don't mean to be.

A/N: A sort-of crossover with Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera, written for momdaegmorgan. I say “sort-of” because while those who have read the book or seen the movie or heard the music may recognize certain things, it’s not quite a crossover in the classic definition of the genre.
