So rather than going home, packing some, working up a real con report and doing the follow-up stuff I promised, I went to stellar_dust's apartment and she mixed us both Sonic Screwdrivers and we watched DW 4x10 and Torchwood (Meat) while I taught myself how to tie cherry stems in knots with my tongue. (It seems like a useful skill.)

DW was generally good, and we spent about ten minutes afterward being annoying-sisters to each other in one of the traditional ways, but it was *creepy* this time (seriously, I bet all the mothers in Great Britain are cursing RTD by now) but OMG, Rusty, DON'T KILL OFF THE LESBIAN. I really, really shouldn't have been able to assume she was going to die the minute she mentioned her ex-wife. That got old a long time ago. Also, I was sad because I assumed the "girlfriend went to alternate universe to get away from me" was a Romana reference but sister pointed out it was probably Rose. Bah. Also, skanky race and gender stuff: I don't want to see that anymore! Arrrg!!

Meat was awesome, my first actual Torchwood ep after lurking the fandom for two years, and Rhys rocks, and I agree with sister (and Jack!!) that Rhys and Jack have mad, mad UST and need to do something about it STAT, preferably with Gwen in the middle and Ianto and Owen off having sex somewhere else, because OMG.

I remember the reaction when the episode first aired - the old-school macros, the anti-gwen panic - but am I the *only* Torchwood fan who's read enough bad Highlander fic to immediately realize why immortal Jack was so determined to give that story a happy ending? God, talk about nightmares, and I hope it never comes out that it actually *did* happen to him (or, bad thought but knowing Jack, he *volunteered* for it.)

So anyway sister also downloaded a bunch of John Barrowman singing showtunes which I need to steal off her hard drive and then bed. But first, for my own memory, list of fics I was told I needed to write while at the con:
Five First Times (Barrayar, Simon/Alys)
the Bel + By/Donna + Alys story I was supposed to write for lgbtfest
the Eroica baseball AU
the dS story where Ray didn't go undercover, he just regenerated.
the Tale of the Five/DW crossover where the Doctor's mdeihei are getting out of control.

the dS story where Ray didn't go undercover, he just regenerated.

YES PLEASE.

I ship Gwen/Rhys pretty hard, but Jack/Gwen/Rhys is FILLED WITH AWESOME.

[stellar_dust [journalfen.net]]

Here's one! (http://community.livejournal.com/jackgwenrhys/1046.html) BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE SO MUCH MORE.

[melannen [journalfen.net]]

I KNOW. I can't beleive nobody wrote it yet!

I brought some dS tapes home from the con. As soon as I get them in the same room as a VCR there may be writing of story.

Oi, what did I do now?

Re: Awesomer Archaeology Lady

[stellar_dust [journalfen.net]]

MADE ME LOOK UP OLD WHO ON YOUTUBE, THAT'S WHAT.

DID YOU SEE TURN LEFT YET? BECAUSE. BECAUSE. OH. MY. GOD.

Re: Awesomer Archaeology Lady

[melannen [journalfen.net]]

THAT WAS A PUBLIC SERVICE.

...curse you, I seen to now be watching the Key to Time saga.
(Isn't Romana Donna magnificent?)

NO I HAVE NOT. The non-spoilerly responses I've been seeing have made me think that maybe I should wait until next week. :P

Romana is pretty cool, but apparently she left because of a Damsel in Distress overdose, and I kind of see her point. d-: (If you have trouble finding Androids of Tara, look under Geezers of Sara for some reason - oh, youtube.)

TEN NEEDS TO GO FISHING, PREFERABLY WITH MARTHA. AND DENNY AND ALAN, DID YOU AT LEAST SEE THAT FINALE?

*FLAILS ALL OVER THE PLACE*

(And I think you must agree that she IS an even awesomer archaeology lady, yes??)

Re: Awesomer Archaeology Lady

[melannen [journalfen.net]]

That was me.

Also, did you want the Harry Kemelman rabbi mysteries? I keep putting them on the "get rid of pile" but for a vague memory of you telling me not to.

Re: Awesomer Archaeology Lady

[stellar_dust [journalfen.net]]

Um. They were good, but I guess I can get them from the library or something if I ever want them again?

Sigh, poor poor book collection.

Re: Awesomer Archaeology Lady

[melannen [journalfen.net]]

Up to you, but I'm not sufficiently attached to them to haul them out here or worry about storing them, which means either you take them or they go away...
