So, err... yeah. Doctor Who and Yuletide (not related)

[tzikeh]

I watched all of the new Doctor Who (I keep wanting to sing "The New Who Revue" to the tune of "The New Zoo Revue", which maybe five people on my flist will know) in a big rush. I had been intending to watch it for about, oh, two years now--shrift gave me DVD-Rs of the first season and the first X-Mas special; I watched the pilot, and the second episode, and then kinda did other things for a year (I'm not kidding; I had three Netflix DVDs sitting on top of my DVD player for eight months). When I heard that John Simm was playing The Master, I had to pound down the Who so I could see his performance.

Anyway, long story... not quite short, but not as long as it could be, I fell hard for Ten/Rose. Yes, oh yes I did, and I'm still there. And I come to you, o flist (and now I'm in Hamlet: "List, list, O, flist!"), for story recommendations. Fluff is fine, sex is of the awesome, and reunion is of the super-awesome. Angst is great, if there is a complete lack of it by the end. Yes, I prefer happy endings in this particular storyline. You who know me well know that I have absolutely zero problem with "rocks fall; everyone dies" in tv shows or books or movies if it serves the story, which puts me in the distinct minority of Americans (like I'm not already there twelve ways to Sunday already)--though this does not mean I will not continue to shout "NO, TIMMY, DON'T PICK UP THE PHONE!" *g* Kill' em all if that's what needs to be done, but please, make an exception for Ten and Rose.

I don't much care for marriage stories (wow so meaningless and utterly impossible what with the whole alien thing and imagine guests asking the groom "so, what do you do?") and curtains and babies, but use your judgment. If those things happen in a story that KICKS ASS, by all means rec it. The worst that can happen is I use my "back" button. Oh, er--if this pairing is not your thing at all, but you know someone who loves it, could you send them over to help out? I... it... my name is tzikeh, and I'm a Ten/Rose-aholic.

In other news, have you heard that Yuletide is here? I have, and it reminded the überpatheticator who is me that I have not yet sent thank-you notes to the people who commented on my stories from last Yuletide. THEREFORE, I solemnly pledge that I will open my Yuletide comments mail folder today, and answer every single one of you before I sign up for the challenge tonight. Heck, I never even posted "Hey, I wrote X and Y this year" at all, and it's pointless to do it now because the archive gets sealed up tight tomorrow! So, please, if you remember, someone poke me after January 1 and remind me to reveal *last* year's stories along with this year's story (or stories - yay pinch-hitting!).

So, err... yeah.

I can't offer any specific recs on account of I barbecue and eat Ten/Rose babies for breakfast or something *g*, but there's tons of Ten/Rose fic over at Teaspoon and an Open Mind here: http://www.whofic.com/

And community wise there are time_and_chips, oh_she_knows, and ten_n_tyler which should offer up some links or at least who to ask.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the links! I've been over to whofic.com and some of the lj communities, but like everything in fandom (and on the internet, really), I want pointers from people I trust. I mean, it's a jungle out there, and most of the jungle is made of, well, poopies.

Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

taraljc has some good recs at her delicious account. I would also check 's page; she's got just a few Ten/Rose recs here, but she's adding to it all the time.

I have been looking for Ten-Rose that I like for a long time, and haven't even gotten close, sadly. There are some lovely (and hot) stories out there, but nothing that sells me on him making this choice at this time. Yes, I have Doctor/Companion issues. (: Comes of getting all pre-teen fangirl on Four when I was a kid. I just...need a lot of Timelordly angsty buildup. Let me know if you find anything good!

BTW, I am making an all-squee, all the time Ten-Rose vid within the next year. It will include a MAGICAL CUPCAKE.

[marzilla.livejournal.com]

Wheeeee! I was a little nervous when I clicked on the cut, and then overjoyed to see you've fallen for my favorite pairing!

Good fic is rather hard to find, as you'll find out. I crave reunion stories like I crave air. All my bookmarks are at home, but I'll see what I can dig up tonight.

I can has majikal kupcake?

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I was just talking about the pre-teen Doctor Who fangirl issue with fan_eunice--it seems to hang on with everything its got to people who started watching DW when they were young. Since I started as a fully-grown fan, I'm like WHERE THE HELL IS THE DAMNED PORN. (Not exclusively, but you know what I mean.)

I'd love links to any lovely and hot stories out there even if they don't sell you; they might sell me. ;)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

ZOMG YAY!

Re: I can has majikal kupcake?

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey, I want the pron too -- I just seem to require all this justification first. It's...inconvenient. (:

I am trying to find the post I did requesting recs (infuriatingly, I never tagged it). That did pull up a few things, mostly off Tara's delicious, as I mentioned. She really does have a ton of good stuff up there.

Oh! liviapenn requested recs a while back, too. Maybe I can find that...::rummage, rummage::

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[fan-eunice.livejournal.com]

MAGICAL CUPCAKE

*blink*....*blinkblink* You're going to make me LIKE IT TOO AREN'T YOU? *hides from the combo of cuteness and your vidding skillz*

You can has majikal kupcake!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

This one is just fun: Ten Lessons the Doctor Learned From Sex and One He Didn't

Porn only: Give and Take

Clear-headed romance of the sort I shouldn't like but do anyway. Very nicely written: A Thousand Languages

BDSM dynamic I don't quite buy, but possibly your cuppa: Passive Tense

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

KITTENS AND PUPPIES AND VIDS, OH MY!

[falzalot.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you VERY MUCH, miz tzikeh, for getting that blasted song stuck in my head!!!!

WAAAAAAH!

[lydiabell.livejournal.com]

and imagine guests asking the groom "so, what do you do?"

This is, of course, the thing that would make me enjoy marriage stories.

[delle.livejournal.com]

and it reminded the überpatheticator who is me that I have not yet sent thank-you notes to the people who commented on my stories from last Yuletide.

oh, thank GOD I'm not the only one! I will take a cue from you and dash off thank yous to my remaining commentors.

Dr. Who! (uses 10 incon in your honor) I'm more of a 9/Rose girl. I found a fantastic 9/Rose/Jack story once, if you're interested? (and I have a Very Short Who/Rose drabble if you're so inclined....)

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Yes, this is my nefarious plan. (:

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[fan-eunice.livejournal.com]

What is it with you and being all appealing and reasonable about my anti-ships? Don't think I've forgiven you yet for being a big part of getting me to reconsider Buffy/Angel...*eyes you suspiciously*

Don't you know we'll never get a proper bloody 'shipwar going if you keep that up? And *then* what will I do with all these grenades? Hrmf.

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Moi? I dislike Angel! I can't take any credit for your B-A issues!

I just think the relationship meant a lot to *Buffy*, is all.

Shipwar, pfeh. Who needs 'em? That's why I joined loves_them_all.

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[fan-eunice.livejournal.com]

I think I'm high, I was *sure* it was you I had the whole conversation with about how the dynamics of B/A could be interesting and hot if they got to know each other again as adults post series...which is what tipped me over the edge into multi and threesome shipping involving them. Now I don't know who to blame!

That's why I joined loves_them_all

Best. Community. Ever. Doctor/Companion(s) for the win...Rose too, Rose is awesome even when I'm being fandom grumpy...crap, I suck at shipwars, hee. Orgies are better anyway.

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

I suppose it's possible that I was talking about post-cookie dough Buffy with you and how she and Angel could get back together at that point. But I don't see me ever endorsing their relationship per se, since he annoys me a lot. And frankly, I'd much rather see post-cookie dough Buffy with Xander. (:

tzikeh, sorry about the post hijacking!

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Go on as long as you like! I always enjoy people being happy in my lj.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

It's the New Zoo Revue, comin' right at you ...

(I am sadly behind on Dr. 10 and not doing Yuletide, so that's all I got. *g*)

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[fan-eunice.livejournal.com]

my apologies as well tzikeh *hugs to you both* Clearly, I am memory damaged (though I do recall you being annoyed by Angel in general)

I'd much rather see post-cookie dough Buffy with Xander. (:

This, I cannot argue with. *huggles my stealth Buffy 'ship*

Also, in penance for my thread hijacking I have gone and tracked down one of the few Ten/Rose fics I *have* read that sweetestdrain linked me to when I was looking for Who porn. the one with flower petals in Rose's underpants, and public sex, which is kinda hot

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

You know, it totally fails to surprise me that there is a story wherein Rose has flower petals in her underpants.

I mean, any other show? I might blink. But a show in which holding hands is equivalent to a big wet steamy makeout session? Flowers in your undies seem perfectly appropriate.

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[fan-eunice.livejournal.com]

And then the Doctor licks them (what? like that's a shock).

Also, now I totally remember...you were part of that conversation about B/A, and so were sockkpuppett and a few other very cool B/A 'shippers at the time who's names I can't recall (and wow, there are times I wish I hadn't deleted my old LJ 'cause then I could look it up). I probably just assumed it was an entirely B/A positive group because of who else was gabbing :D

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Ah! All is now clear.

The doctor licks the panties? Or the flowers? Or...do I really want to know?

tzikeh, you might appreciate the icon I'm using here.

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

I have recs. Let me forward emails to you.

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

You people are cracking my shit up with the flower panties. And really, I needed a giggle today, so thanks. :)

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

Oh - why not post here - laura shapiro, for one, is looking, and others may be too!

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

laaaaaaaaaaaazy

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

ok - hit me, then!!

[kitkatbyte.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, Ten and Rose are SOOO wonderful. I was so sad at the last Rose episode. :( Ten's sad, sad face...!!

But OH, the love! I am going to read the comments people leave for this, because I totally require cute Ten/Rose as well!

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

check your email.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Ooh, ooh! find the map and draw a straight line (http://passionflows.livejournal.com/160519.html), by passionflows.

This is my very favorite Ten/Rose fic. It's one of those fics that never fails to cheer me up. Post-Doomsday, happy ending.

[butterfly.livejournal.com]

Oh, I adore Doctor/Rose (of all stripes, but with a special tenderness for Ten/Rose)!

I have 92 items saved in my D/R 'tenth' del.icio.us page here (http://del.icio.us/butterflydm/doctor/rose%2Btenth) (ones that definitely have sex are here (http://del.icio.us/butterflydm/doctor/rose%2Btenth%2Bexplicit), sadly, only 12 items).

[aukestrel.livejournal.com]

I remember the New Zoo Revue! (Coming right at you!)

Yes... I'm old. Your point?

Re: Yay! Doctor Who!

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Glad to be of service. (:

[melina123.livejournal.com]

I have some Ten/Rose on my recs list.

[tzikeh.livejournal.com]

I found a good recs list for Ten/Rose:
