Is there life on Mars?

[trinityofone]

Well, so I told myself I that I would wait to come back until I had some really epic fic to post. And…I do. Only…it’s a big Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes crossover WIP.

*crickets*

Yeah.

Anyway, I’m going to be posting this—while still a WIP—for three reasons.

1) It’s clearly going to be REALLY LONG.
2) Posting the first part will mean I have to finish it, unlike the 10,000 other unfinished things on my HD.
3) siriaeve’s making me.

And yeah, also because I have been really, REALLY into these shows lately and have had no one to talk to about them (despite practically hitting ebrooklynw over the head and making her watch a few episodes), and I figure having something to “contribute” will be a good way to meet other fans. And/or, a good way to lure all you lovely SGA people over to this particular fandom patch. Though to be honest, I wouldn’t recommend reading my upcoming story unless you are familiar with the canon. It'll spoil everything and not make much sense.

HOWEVER! Interested in becoming familiar? Comment and let me know; I’m in a pusher-y mood right now and might be able to hook you up. *winks real subtle*

Come join my insanity! Write fic! Make pretty things! AND SO FORTH.

So, yeah. Sorry for the somewhat cockteasy post. Fic to come soon, probably tomorrow. More pimpage too. And I will try not to be a big lame wuss and disappear again.

Which I guess brings us back around to… Hi! How are you?

ETA: Wow, my LJ looks crappy. It's like coming back to a vacation house and finding it covered in cobwebs. (I mean, I assume it is—never actually had a vacation house myself.) Does LJ no longer support banners for unpaid accounts? That's kind of dickish of them. Also, has my color scheme always been this emo? Was I really into the White Stripes when I chose this? WTF?

You've dealt with WORSE lately? How is that even possible in 2007?

I was reading the other day that the creators plan to do "bold" things with the plot (more than LoM!) because they're looking at three seasons.

Sadly, I'm learning that it's ALL too possible in 2007 (or 2008). I spent much of last year at a horrible job with a creepy boss who gave unsolicited shoulder rubs and called the female workers "sweetie." (Can I have an EW?) My current position's much better, but I'm a woman in a male-dominated industry (car craft mags) and some of the offensive sexist shit that they print just blows my mind. I've tried to gently call them on it, but I've been completely rebuffed. LE SIGH.

Three would be nice! I read an interview with Philip Glenister in which he said he thought they might stop at two, but maybe he can be persuaded? NEED MORE GENE HUNT KTHX.*

*'Cause he puts the sex back in sexism? I confuse myself sometimes.

See, the dilemma I'm having is, what if the choice between playing Gene Hunt for a third season coincided with being offered Dr Who?

(I'm still working on the power of wishful thinking aspect)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I've hit this same problem with my other choice for Eleven, one Mr. David Hewlett. (Technically English! Born in Surrey! You know he would be awesome!) I think I'm ultimately not willing to give up either Gene Hunt or Rodney McKay, even for potential Doctory awesomeness. David Tennant will just have to stick around until my other candidates are good and ready, dammit!

[sarren.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I don't think he's going to. I work with the biggest Dr Who fan in the world, and he says it looks like the (I think just 4) specials they're doing next year instead of an actual season will be his last year.

Oh, I'm pretty well aware of that. But since these are all fantasyland wishes (are they not?), I can DREAM, right? ;-)

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Right, sorry, my bad.

And Rose will come back, and that will all end happily. And Jack will make regular appearances in adventures and the Doctor will flirt with him even more. And there will be kissing.

And Rose Martha will come back, and that will all end happily.

Fixed! ;-)

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Thanks, you made me choke laughing.

Since it seems likely that Martha will be joining Torchwood, can we compromise with Martha&Jack regularly joining Ten&Rose for hijinks aboard the TARDIS?

Of course, now i want Ianto to come to. Rawr.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Okay, I could see that working. As long as the Doctor publicly acknowledges how awesome Martha is.

I'm sure Jack will ensure Ianto comes lots.

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. Martha is totally awesome. What compares with Walking the Earth for a year? Well, okay, maybe absorbing the heart of the TARDIS...jeez, Companions nowadays are really overachievers aren't they? I wonder if Donna has any idea what she's in for?

Jack+Ianto+Martha - now there's a pretty picture. *goes to a happy place*

And also, shoulder rubs? EEEWWW. I am really glad you got away from that.
