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.

Poll #1483634
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 15

Should I accept the nomination?

Title: The Imagination of Gaston Leroux (9/10)
Rating: PG
Characters: Nine, Rose, Jack, Ten, Jack (yes, twice), assorted others

Summary: Actresses disappear from the stage, the manager is strangely tight-lipped, and there’s an oddly knowledgeable woman in an apricot dress running here and there. Not to mention the overly enthusiastic journalist lurking in the shadows. Will the Doctor and his companions solve the mystery at the Opera Garnier – or will the story be forever changed?


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.

Author: azriona

Rating: PG13

Summary: There was a door on the TARDIS that would not open. Rose went by it every day, and wondered what went on behind it.

A/N: This was my entry for writerinatardis Challenge 2.03. The prompt was: The Doctor has a strange, unusual, or very silly hobby. Rose just found out about it. I went....perhaps a little darker than most. Okay, a lot darker.

But dark and spooky are appropriate today.

Happy Halloween!

Those who have read Water Music will recognize the girl in the apricot dress. Those who haven’t read Water Music...pay no attention to the Alice from CoE. Not the same girl.

Title: The Parting of the Canon
Author: azriona
Rating: R, to be safe, but about half the stories are a nice safe PG

Characters: Nine, Rose, Jack, Daleks, assorted others
Spoilers: There are spoilers for various things in here. To tell you what would be spoiling you. If you’ve seen all aired episodes of the current run of Doctor Who or Torchwood (up to and possibly including Children of Earth), you’re good.

Summary:
On the Game Station, the Doctor has to make some hard choices that directly impact how the story will turn out. Can you help him make the right choices that will result in the story ending satisfactorily for all? A Choose-Your-Own-Adventure retelling of "The Parting of the Ways".

A/N: Written for the Time in Flux challenge. The assignment was to rewrite a specific episode so that the Doctor and Rose would be together at the end, but that the episode would end the same way. All recognizable dialog is from the episode "The Parting of the Ways", and maybe one or two other places. You'll know it when you see it. Any and all mistakes are mine. (And yes, I realize I sort of forgot about the female programmer. Let's pretend she was on vacation that week.)

Please note that not all endings are created equal - even if you think you read it before, trust me. You might not have. There are a total of 44 endings here - some mimic each other, but some really, really don't.


Please note that the story is hosted OFF LJ. (Because it's really, really hard to do a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure here.)

Title: Valentine
Author: azriona
Rating: PG (or should it be PG-13 for naked!Doctor?)
Characters: Ten, Rose
Spoilers: post-JE AU

Summary: The Doctor receives Valentines in the mail. They’re not from Rose.

A/N: Written for writerinatardis, way back in 1:08. This is the fic that got me kicked off the last time. And yes, I do consider that a selling point. The challenge was to write a fic based on this picture. So I did. No one ever said the promise in the picture had to be made by either the Doctor or Rose, you know.

Title: Timey-Whimey, Smurfy-Wurfy (5/8)
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.

Rating: G

Summary: The long way home takes her by the churchyard, and he was nice, and wanted to take her to McDonald’s.

A/N: Great big massive spoilers for Torchwood: Children of Earth. Thanks to wendymr, who Britpicked like mad for me, and jlrpuck, who did not insist I include a leopard.

Title: Finding Rose (The Forty-three Days Remix)
Original Author: rude_not_ginger
Remixer: azriona
Characters/Pairings: Ten/Rose, a brief appearance by an OC
Rating: PG

Summary: The Doctor spent forty-three days looking for Rose after the battle at Canary Wharf. This is what he found.

A/N: Written for the chips_remixed Doctor/Rose fic remix challenge, from rude_not_ginger’s fic Finding Rose. Beta'ed by the usual suspects (jlrpuck and runriggers). I’m not sure this is quite what you would call a traditional remix – but I hope you enjoy it anyway. The poem is by John Donne, the first and fourth stanzas. I thought the title quite appropriate, and I liked the old-fashioned spellings best; I suggest you read it aloud.

( Forty-Three Days )

Title: Taxi, Two A.M.
Author: azriona
Characters: Ten2, Rose
Rating: PG

Summary: “I've traveled to all sorts of places. Done things you couldn't even imagine, but... you two... street corner. Two in the morning. Getting a taxi home. I've never had a life like that.”

A/N: Written for writerinatardis’s Challenge 2.01: First Time. Beta’ed by the usual suspects (jlrpuck and runriggers).

( Taxi, Two A.M. )

Title: Evolution
Characters: The Doctor (Four, Nine, Ten), Romana I, River, Rose
Rating: PG

Summary: Sometimes, Rose fancied she could believe in previous lives and reincarnation. Surely there had been other times she'd been held by this man, when it felt so familiar and right.

A/N: Based entirely on one line from LadyChi’s Evolution of Rose, Part Five, which I’ve quoted in the summary. Thanks to her for letting me play, thanks to dark_aegis, who made sure I wasn’t too awful to Four and Romana, and thanks to wendymr, who also betaed, though it’s not exactly her cup of tea. The italicized quotes are from The Parting of the Ways.

Title: A Fool’s Errand (1/1)
Characters: Rose, the Doctor, others
Rating: PG

Summary: The Isolus has returned home, as have all the children on Dame Kelly Holmes Close. But no matter where she looks – Rose can’t find the Doctor.

A/N: This bunny bit during an online group rewatch of Fear Her a few weeks ago. Recognizable dialog is very obviously not mine. Spoilers for JE. Many thanks to jlrpuck for the beta.
