Miscellany

1. Just got caught up with s3 of New Doctor Who and while I wouldn't say I'm completely sold on it yet, it does have a lot of great things about it (RTD's scripts not always being one of them, but...) So if anyone has any fic or similar stuff that I just *have* to read, I'd appreciate a rec! (Also, I need a dalek icon. Daleks > Everything Else In The Universe Ever.)

ETA: Thanks stormwreath for the icon!

2. A couple of Buffyverse recs, since I don't rec nearly enough stuff:

• Of All the Wonders That I Yet Have Heard by girlpire (Angel/Darla, R). Fantastic take on what might have happened post-"Lullaby."
  
• frogfarm finished Big Country (Faith/Willow, R). Post-"Chosen" (slightly AU, see pairing), but the past just never lets Faith go...
  
• I'll Have What She's Having by spuffyduds is a Twin Peaks crossover! (Faith/Audrey, PG13). (And I do have my own take on the pairing, which will be appearing shortly.
  
• Come Into My Parlor by bookishwench (Tara/?, PG13). Excellent pre-canon look at Tara (as is frogfarm's One Summer, My Far Horizon, though that one heads off-canon into very believable Faith/Tara).
  
• And finally, Buffybot's Big Adventure! by Alex Wert sees the return to the Buffyverse of one of my favourite humour ficcers. This is a WIP taking place post-"Bargaining", but so far he always finishes his stories and they usually end up hilarious. (Buffybot/Various, R)
  
• Also, I put some recs up at buffyversetop5: Faith/Buffy, list-type fics, drabbles, episode rewrites, season 8.

3. Finally, a couple of icons I've made on a whim and never posted here.

RTD's scripts not always being one of them, but...
*snerk* RTD is very Joss-like - he'll shun logic etc for the sake of his story if necessary. He just uses 'science' instead of a Hellmouth...

Kinda stuck when it comes to recs (except for my own story of course), since I read v. little Who fic... But here is a brilliant time-sex macro series. DW is so macro-able it *hurts*! :)

Again, Sarah, the best person to rec Doctor Who fic. She reads a lot of it. But have you checked out A Teaspoon and An Open Mind? They are the biggest Who Fic collection out there. You can search by Doctor and the summaries are really good.

If you like the idea of Nine/Rose, I can rec one of the *best* writers for them out there. She is amazing.

Also, you might want to join who_daily. They operate differently than someplace like SU Herald. They tell you EVERYTHING that they can find that has gone on in the fandom for the day. It is so amazing and comphrensive.

I'll check my faves on Teaspoon and see if there is anything gen that is good. I tend to stick to Nine and Four as my doctors of choice though.
