i shall strangle writer's block someday
Someone force me to write this thing.
Before I throw my desk out the window. I have thought up so many plot points and character motivations and secret detective agencies in the heart of London of all things bloody hell — in the last two days that my head is very much about to explode.
(Um, also: I've watched The God Complex, but the review shouldn't be up until tomorrow or the day after that, due to difficulties in conquering the wifi connection. It won't connect! WHY DON'T YOU CONNECT ANYMORE.)

(Also, hi! I cannot wait to read your reactions to DW, as soon as I watch all the damn things.)

(Do itttttt. I've a few qualms about this season, but we've had some really lovely things this year!)

(I did it! And now my thoughts on Let's Kill Hitler, I shall show them to you! I loved all the things I've come to expect to love (RORY! Oh, Rory ♥) but the flaws were just so jarring that I couldn't really get behind the entire premise. Mels appearing from nowhere was shockingly sloppy considering how good DW usually is at laying the groundwork for such things. And Mels/River is just completely inexplicable to me. So she was brainwashed, but still grew up with/under the influence of her parents, but was still programmed enough to actually kill the Doctor with no hesitation or remorse, but then does an about-face at the end for no compelling reason? *skeptical face*
I'm a little disappointed how they've glossed over the complexities of Amy/Rory's relationship with River. Amy and Rory may know that they're her parents now, but it still doesn't feel that way. Mostly because it feels like they were deprived of her entire childhood, but then I guess that's the purpose of Mels. As an audience member, though, she feels so retconned in as not to have any effect. Besides, even taking her into consideration, Mels has always been their equal. And then River has always been their superior. How do you reconcile that with the relationship and emotions associated with a parent and child? Annnnd /tl;dr)
In summary, are you writing yet?? WHEN CAN I READ IT?

(Ngh. I agree with most of this, actually. LKH was a big bad mess — apart from Rory, I loved Rory, and the regeneration scene was pretty badass, and the opening sequence was fairly gorgeous — but in terms of plot it was almost a disconnection from what everybody expected. Mels was frankly boring all the way until she turned into River; as a viewer, I felt almost retconned. Who the hell introduces a character the way you'd introduce a sheer and utter Mary Sue in a terrible bad!fic?
I was fairly heavily disappointed with Amy/Rory's relationship with River/Melody as well, although so far I can somewhat put it down to shock — it has to be rather awkward to get accustomed to. Still, I'm fairly mad at Moffat for not giving them the chance to actually raise their daughter; there's a lack of equilibrium there that I think gets in the way of everybody's characterization... I like River's character much better now than I did back when she first appeared in Ten's run, tbh, but I wish Moffat would tell her story and then move on. If we get more River for a thousand other episodes, I'm going to get very bored very quickly. D:)
I HAVE CLEARED THIS AFTERNOON TO WRITE DOWN THE FIRST PART. o/ I have no idea how long it'll be until I like the first draft enough to start posting on the meme, though. Hopefully before the end of the month?

(I would have been so happy if we had gotten more time with just Amy and Rory being all married couple on the TARDIS. Arcs? I don't need no stinking arcs! jk. well, sort of. my love for the Ponds is great and demanding. I hate to say it, but I think I'm already bored. And have taken to squinting suspiciously in Moffat's general direction.)
THIS NEWS. This news just made my day! Also, the end of the month is next week! \o/
P.S. Between ToNC and this, you have definitely inspired me to drag out and finish the last thing I started writing. Which is also, drumroll please, a detective fic. MEANT TO FUCKING BE, I tell you.
no subject
(I know! I adored the little sequence in the beginning of The Rebel Flesh double episode when Amy&Rory are just faffing about playing darts, and the Doctor is all Who wants fish&chips and Rory just raises a finger aklda,dlk,alsjaslc I pretty much d'awwwwed at everything. Domesticity is the sweetest thing, and I love the Ponds. -> latest episodes, SO MANY FEELINGS.)
Mmmmmyeah. :/ deadlines, I am not good at. I'm working on it, though!
that is fantastic news, are you kidding. tell me more? o/
no subject
(OH MY GOD. THE GIRL WHO WAITED. I still want to read your reaction to the ep and maybe I will comment there because I have so many feelings about it, most of which can be summed up by <3333333)
All I registered from that sentence is I'm working on it so still \o/!
Haha, yes. It was the most ill-advised fic I ever started. It's a JE private eye AU, which references a genre in which I have absolutely no experience and a fandom of which I was only marginally familiar with in 2007 and almost completely removed from since. And the plot ranges from shaky to nonexistent depending on what day it is. >_<
