Ah, the old haunting grounds. It's been a long time since I was last here (a good two years or so?). It's been a busy two years.
To be honest, I left for the greener (or really, bluer) pastures of tumblr. I'm sorry deviantArt, I'm leaving you for your shinier cousin.

Just kidding, just kidding. I'll still be around. Probably not anywhere near as frequently as I used to be, but around. Like a ghost.
(My tumblr is my main site now, so if you want to get in touch with me and have me see your message in the next month, the link is
in my description.)

I came back to exactly 11,126 messages. So if I didn't see yours, or haven't answered, please message again! I'm currently buried
under homework and the delusion of getting sleep, so a gentle reminder may be required (feel free to yell if it makes you feel better).

As for my Living a Dream series, I'm afraid I've moved on to bigger and better things. I can still finish it if anyone really cares about
it, but at the moment I'm going to let it rest.

In summary, my sincere apologies, dear friends, for abandoning you so- and might I comment that it's good to be back?

I've been away for a while, and I didn't tell you... I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! D:

But yeah, I went to Europe for six weeks, and I forgot to let you know. So... yeah.

The good news is that I wrote a HEAP on the planes. Mainly because I have this inability to sleep on planes unless I am absolutely exhausted. So yeah.

Sorry about that, peeps.

What would happen if the Silence and the Angels had a baby?
You'd see it, and be not blinking, but then eventually your eyes would water and you'd close them for a fraction of a second...

Then you'd open your eyes again, and you wouldn't know why your eyes are watering all of a sudden, or why you feel unsettled, then you'd turn around and...

BAM! Freaky angel statue in a suit is standing over you, about to eat you, and even though it's turned to stone, electricity sparks from its fingers....

I hope I'm not giving Moffat any ideas.
Because I think this would be pretty damn freaky.

Also, how do the Silence tie their ties? They have three fingers, each of them quite long and thick and... kinda floppy.
HOW DO THE SILENCE TIE THEIR TIES????

Also, what if Amy, River and Rory ran out of ink in their markers? Would they just, I dunno, walk into Wal-Mart covered in markings and looking like they just escaped from a cult?
Strange, strange people.

Okay, first things first (but not necessarily in that order).

1. RIP Elisabeth Sladen. Gallifrey knows we'll miss you.

2. I've ticked over 3,000 views, and I'd just like to say thankyou.

3. I have finally, finally planned out the rest of Living a Dream. Isn't it wonderful? It's only gonna take me about thirty chapters to finish.... argh this is so long. (But fun)

4. A possible preview quote or two?

Fenn blinked in the harsh lights as she regained consciousness, the hedgehog in her brain rolling over and sliding through her brain matter.
"Oh, you have got to be KIDDING me." Fenn said as she felt the cuffs binding her wrists, and the distinct absence of her vortex manipulator.
Delven glared down at her.
"Don't look at me like that, you know what I'm talking about. All this cloak-and-dagger secrecy, and yet SOMEHOW, mysteriously, the entire universe knows what you're up to. Why don't you just hurry up and surrender already?"

***

Fenn rolled her eyes and turned around, only to see Entis glaring at her angrily. "What?" she asked.
"We thought you were dead!"
She folded her arms across her chest, "The [spoiler] can live without me. I'm sure it was business as usual."
Entis shot a look at her that could've bored through ten-metre thick triple reinforced steel with a granite centre, "I thought you were dead!"
Fenn's gaze softened, "Now that's a statement of greater importance."
A moment of silence hung perilously between them, stretching itself in time. They looked at each other and they both ran forward and hugged each other, incredibly tightly. Entis felt a tear or two slide down his face, "Thank god, thank god you're okay. I thought- I missed you-"
Fenn hugged him tighter, "It's okay, I'm back, it's okay..."
Entis pulled out, "Fenn..."
"Shut up," she said, and kissed him.

(Neither of these previews is set in stone, btw.)

Anyway, I figured that I should probably point out this: [link]

"Borrowed" from :iconflufftailed:

1. If you had 10 billion dollars/pounds/euros, what would you use it for?
Buy the Earth (As much of it as possible). Or, alternatively, build my dream house, set myself up for life, then buy out shares in the BBC and make myself a Producer of Doctor Who. Either way.

2. If you could rule the world for a day, what would you do?
I'd ensure that when the day was over, the infrstructure was in place so that I could come back into power.
Once I was in power for a more permanent term, that's when the fun would start... :D

3. Do you have an arch nemesis?
Hmmmm. No. None alive, anyhow.

4. Who's your best friend?
I'm not gonna name names. People will get jealous :3

5. What do you do in your spare time?
Write, study, talk with people... I don't have any spare time, what am I talking about?

6. If someone handed you an atomic bomb that could destroy the world, what would you do with it?
Upgrade it to a hydrogen bomb, plant it in the planet's core so that no-one could get to it (but me) and blackmail the Earth's governments to put me in power as Supreme Ruler of the Galaxy lest I should blow it up.

7. If you found the TARDIS on a random outing one day, what would you do?
Hehehe... JOY RIDE! Oh, I'd have sooo much fun with that wardrobe. Also, if we're assuming that the TARDIS exists then that means the show does too, so I'd go back to save Ianto.
Then do a spot of world-dominating. :D

8. If you heard someone talking about 'The Doctor' what would you do?
Track them down, interrogate them and then hijack the TARDIS by any means possible. Interrogate doesn't mean torture, by the way.

9. Do you believe in reincarnation?
Hmmm... yes. But only through multiverse theory, and quantum suicide (look it up on wikipedia before you start thinking that I'm going to kill myself. I'm not, trust me. I'm too afraid that I'd hurt myself to commit suicide.)
But basically, yes. From a theoretical physics point of view.

10. If you found out your entire life was made the way it was just so someone you hate could return, what would you do?
Go back in time and change my life so that they can't come back. If that doesn't work, I'd shoot them.

11.Can you hear it?
What, the drumming? Sure. I'm listening to orchestral music on youtube.

12. What's your favourite animal?
Humans. Psychology and sociology are fascinating.

We humans are such a strange species.

13. Weapon of choice?
Wait, real life or not? In fantasy, sword or bow and arrow. Sci-fi? Gamma Ray Bursters condensed into a handgun. Real life? Words, so that I can have all of the aforementioned awesome weapons.

14. Take your age and add 888 to it, how old are you?
903. Not bad. Nice and evenly patterned.

15. What would your Timelord name be? [Nothing canon allowed]
Oh geez. Tough question. Ummm... The Seeker? The Remainder? The Architect?
The Architect's cool. Sounds like the Matrix.

16. If you met the Doctor face to face what would you do?
Point out the fact that there is an alien clinging to his ankle.

17. If you met yourself in a paradox, what would you do?
Tell myself tomorrow's lottery numbers and what to invest in in the stock market. Then maybe I'd give them some candy. Cause  I know that I've already done it, so I know what to do :)

18. When you look in the mirror in the morning, how long do you check yourself?
I'm usually too tired to even check the mirror.

19. When you shower how long do you take?
My timer overtimed itself.

20. When you get ready in the morning how long does it take?
Well, depends on how tired I am and how distracted sooo.... 2 hours, tops?

21. When you go to parties, how do you dress?
Formal party? Knee-length dress with coat and leggings. Casual? Jeans, Converse, stripy shirt, maybe an awesome cape, depending. And probably suspenders.

22. Do you have any fans?
I don't know... :?

23. How bossy are you on a scale of 1-10? 1 being lowest, 10 highest.
6, on average. Except where my brother's concerned. Then it's 9.

24. How often are you late for things?
All the time. Which is why I need a Time Machine so desperately.

25. What's your favourite pastime?
Surfing the internet, reading, writing, sleeping...

26. TAG SOMEONE WITH YOUR LASER SCREWDRIVAH!
I tagged the Doctah, but he untagged himself with my own archangel network. Grrrrr...

27. Which Master are you?
Simm. Duh. Made of EPIC. :icondoctorthumbsupplz: <---Doctah approves.

Aw man, I just had something epic to say as a witty send off, but now I've forgotten.

The Doctor Who Writer Friendly Meme

1. Hello fellow Whovian! You can start by telling how long you have been watching Doctor Who.
Since... when did Blink come out? 2008? I really did hide behind the sofa.
:iconscaredplz: :iconweepingangelplz:

2. Which Doctor is your favourite? Wait, wait...let me guess...it's the Tenth.
Well, yeah. Ten and Eleven. Five's cool too. :icontenthdoctorplz: :iconeleventhdoctorplz: :iconfifthdoctorplz:

3. And which Doctor do you find yourself writing about the most?
So far, Ten. But Eleven is up and coming! :icondoctorthumbsupplz:

4. Now for the Doctor's much loved group of companions. Which one gets you all excited?
Hmmm... Jack. Jack and Donna. Amy and Rory are fun and all, but yeah. Jack and Donna. :iconjackharknessplz: :icondonnanobleplz:

5. And which one do you write about the most?
I honestly don't know, but I think it's Amy, currently. :iconamypondplz:

6. Now for the antagonists. Who's your favourite alien or enemy?
The Master. Made of EPIC. :iconhappymasterplz: :iconmasterthumbsupplz:

7. Which one is the best to write about? Have you invented any of your own? Do share!
Well, I like writing Eleven, he's fun. I haven't tried any Master stuff yet, must get around to it.
I have written a (sort-of) companion, Fenn, which is what Living a Dream is all about.

8. We can't forget the spin-offs! Which ones do you watch?
Does Search for the Truth count? No? Well then, I don't really watch any... want to start getting into Torchwood. The Sarah-Jane Adventures doesn't really interest me yet.

Great to hear the opinions of other who-fanatics! Thanks for sharing!

Okay, so as I am typing this I'm writing chapter 26 of Living a Dream in the other window, and I can't help thinking that it's time I brought Hannah back.
So I told Sarah (:icontravels-in-time:) that I was bringing her back (because Hannah is based on her... sort of) and she asked if she could write the scene. So yeah... when it comes, I'll let you know.
But in the meantime, I'd like to ask a rather important question (Well, important to me, anyway).

What is your favourite bit/chapter/character of Living a Dream so far?

PS: 21,288 words so far! I had no idea it would go for this long XD Oh well, I'm having fun, I hope you lot are :)

P24 will be out soon but in the meantime I am just going to go on a random tangent.

Do you know when you start an idea out like.... three years ago and then you try to keep going with it but you look at it now and it just looks horrible?
Yeah, that's what I feel like right now.

So, I don't know how many of you know this, but I have indeed being sort of working on a novel.
By that I mean that I've planned out most of it but given up.

Because I started years ago now, and my views on life, the universe and everything have changed so dramatically, I look at my notes and head desk.

Not only do I realise now that I had quite a few Sues in there, I also realise how stupidly boring, monotonous and pretentious it is.
It doesn't help that I've improved so much in my writing since then.

So I'm going to start again. But this time, instead of having one long, strung-out novel, I might have a collection of connecting short stories- accounts that are seperate, and yet altogether make up the general storyline over all.
I might even post a few of them here.

Besides that, I recently caught writer's block due to the fact that season 6 of DW doesn't come out until APRIL in the UK and longer for Australia, but watching old eps that I haven't seen yet has helped somewhat.
But I still want more Eleven. D'you hear me, Moffat?

In the meantime, :icontravels-in-time: and I have started a random group (not on dA... yet) of devoted fans of Torchwood and Doctor Who who consider themselves worthy of Time Agents.
We may soon be recruiting any of those who wish to join, as soon as we figure out what our group is actually going to do, besides be awesome.
Strangely enough in the group I am known as Fenn, and :icontravels-in-time: is Hannah, after our respective characters. :icontravels-in-time: will soon be doing little Hannah moments of her own, I think.
If she ever gets around to it. I'll be bugging her to do it.

So I'll be going to the Supernova convention, in Melbourne, dressed as Fenn, because she dared me too. She'll be going as Nine, I'm pretty sure. If anyone else there recognises me as Fenn, it'll be a darned miracle. But I do love my coat.

And, having come full circle, I would have you know that I am currently writing P24 now, but don't hold your breath.
It'll take longer than the average three minutes that most people can hold their breath for without dying.

So that's what's basically being happening in my life, sorry for the tangent, P24 will be out soon and Don't Forget To Be Awesome. Signing out. :salute:
  • Mood: Regretful
  • Drinking: Orange Juice
You might've seen my previous journal to this.
I deleted it. Never mind.

Anywho... I'm going to the Supernova Convention in Melbourne! Yay! :D
It'll be my first ever convention. I'm kind of... excited! :excited:
It'll be me and :icontravels-in-time:, plus some others. Yay!

I can't decide which Doctor's better! Ten or Eleven?
Also, the Master is awesome and is still controlling our minds.
(Archangel network was never taken down :D)

THE MASTER IS EPIC. That is all.

PS: What's your favourite Living a Dream moment? Just out of curiosity.

Yeah, I needed to get away from homework. I am swamped, currently.

Meme by: :iconallons-yeveryone:
Filled out by: Aredell

1) When did you start writing? Who or what got you into it?
Hmmm... seriously? As a serious writer? Last year. Previous to that I was a science geek. I only really started last year. That's right, I'm a newbie!

2) What do you write (fanfiction, poems, scripts, stories or RP's)?
Well, on dA it's mostly poems and fanfic, but outside of dA I mostly do scripts for my drama class, I'm part-way through a novel, and I do poetry as a side-dish :)

3) And what are they about?
Ummm... lots of things... mostly Doctor Who on dA. I don't know what the other stuff is... it's the fluff between realities, I guess. The useless filler XD

4) Pick an object, any object…one you see beside you or one you see outside…has to exist though. Now describe it in every way you possibly can:
Wait, what? I have to describe something? Oh, man, I did this to get away from homework. Oh well, here goes:

There's a candle on my desk
And it's not lit
A symbol of hope
And despair
Simultaneously
And it's not lit
Blood red running through
The silky white wax
The spirit of the flame
And it's not lit
For I have no need for despair
Nor hope
At least, not right now.

D: That was too spontaneous. It didn't work at all :(

5) Okay now choose a place, something bad has happened, now put Bob or Lynda in there and write away:

What has Linda done? Robert paced the foyer of the hotel, nervously, anxiously, and ever, ever so nervously. What do the police want with her? Why aren't I allowed up there? It was my room...
Robert's thoughts were interrupted as a police officer tapped him on the shoulder, and he jumped a mile in the air. He didn't know why he was so god damn nervous...
"Robert Smith? Can I speak with you, please?" The officer was polite, and his face was serious. His tag read: Sergeant Brooks. "What is it?" asked Robert, "What has Linda done?"
"There was a body found in your room at approximately 7pm, earlier tonight."
"Oh my god." Robert's head reeled. This was not how he'd thought his night would go, "I had nothing to do with it. How could this have happened?"
"We found Linda Shoel's fingerprints on the knife that was used to kill the victim. Did you know her?"
"Of course I knew her, she's my sister!"
"Did you have any other siblings, sir?"
Robert scanned the officer's face for sarcasm, but he found none, "What do you mean?"
"Were you a twin of any sort, sir?"
"Of course not! What kind of nonsense is this? Where's Linda? I have to talk to her!"
"Normally we are not permitted to show the victim's corpse to people outside the homicide squad, but there has been an exception made for this case. The victim's physical appearance has aroused suspicion in the squad."
"Why, what's so special this time?"
The officer just looked at him for a moment, then said, "Follow me."
They walked down the grungy corridor to the rooms, the carpet worn with age, the dirt rubbed into the fibers. They reached a door cordoned off with tape, and were cleared through by another officer at the door. The small hotel suite was abuzz with police officers and forensic scientists. Brooks led him to the focal point of the attention, a body of a middle aged man in jeans and a leather jacket. Brooks leant down and pulled the cover off the man's face to show Robert.
Robert staggered back, gasping. The man on the floor, the man his sister had killed, was... him.

6) Okay…now you have to write a short story…but you have to start with, "The ground was cold beneath my feet…" or, "I smiled a little breathless from…" and end with, "…Oh god." or, "…Splash." You can do this! So…ready, set, GO!:

The ground was cold beneath my feet in the tunnel. I shivered a little as the wind bit and tugged at me clothes. I sighed with frustration. Of all the items of clothing to leave behind when you're a fugitive... I had to leave my shoes. Running was going to be ten times harder now. Water dripped from the ceiling a little further down the tunnel- I hadn't dared to go in any further, into the dark. Instead I had stayed where I could see the light of the entrance, the pale evening sky against the darkness pressing in on me, squeezing me. Graffiti tattoed itself over the walls and ceiling, and mud soaked itself into my jeans. I huddled into my jacket a little more, trying to get comfortable, but suddenly the light went dim. He was there, at the entrance. I breathed, "... Oh God." He'd found me.

(Okay, so I didn't strictly finish properly, but :P. I'd like to think that this was a Saxon/Master fugitive story :D)

7) Now choose an OC of yours or if you don't have one then a favorite movie/tv show/book character of yours (please tell us where they are from) and write them having an argument with you about something stupid:
Fenn, obviously, as she's my favourite.

"Fix my vortex manipulator!" Fenn poked me in the ribs with her modified zed neutrino blaster.
"You do know that that thing's fatal, right?" I huffed. I was far too indignant to admit that I was, in fact, very nervous.
"Of course," she grinned manically, "A little more incentive, eh?"
"Not really. 'Cause if you kill me then I won't be able to fix your manipulator."
She considered that for a second, "I suppose you have a point. But I can still break your arms."
"Wouldn't be able to type."
"Legs, then."
I thought for a minute, while Fenn leant over my shoulder menacingly, "Fine, I'll do it. But if you keep threatening me like this I'm going to send you home."
Fenn poked out her tongue cheekily, "No you wouldn't, you enjoy my company too much."
"You know me too well, damn it." I said, as I fixed her manipulator with Microsoft Word. :D

8) Give an excerpt from something you've written that is, sad or funny:
Sad, from Living a Dream P10

"Fenn, what's wrong? Who was that?"

To his utmost surprise, Fenn took his hands in hers and held them close to her chest. The Doctor could have sworn, in that moment that he felt two hearts beating under his palms.

He looked up at Fenn and saw tears rolling down her cheeks. He spoke slowly, almost afraid of the answer, "Who are you?"

"I'm sorry," she said, and the handcuffs clicked shut.

"As an authorized Time Agent, I hereby declare you under arrest by the order of the Shadow Proclamation, for crimes such as genocide, murder, theft and disrupting the timeline of a fixed event in time."

He looked at her, his expression hard, "I trusted you."

Again, those tears. He wished she would stop crying so that he wouldn't pity her. But then she spoke, and he immediately regretted his thoughts.


"They have Hannah."


9) Give life to an inanimate object, it gives you a lecture, what about?
My computer, about homework.

"Seriously, youtube? Again? You know how much download that takes up? Oh, now you're watching that Doctor again, obsessive much? You never get anything done! What's that... Jake and Amir, oh how useful, that's going to help you with your VCE assignment that is OPEN ON THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN! Just do it, and then you can check your facebook... no, don't go on dA, you spend way too much time on that... come on! Your assignment only has the conclusion to go, and it's due tomorrow! Just get it over and done with! No, what are you doing... don't you DARE close your assignment... oh! Oh! Bring it back, now! Go on! No, wait, don't turn off the lecture function, or I swear I will come out there and-"

"Shut up, computer."

10) Now give advise to friends and fellow author/authoress' out there:

Use interesting word choices that you don't often see. It catches people's interest. Also, use a spellchecker to go through your work, and always edit if you can.
And keep on going at it, don't ever give up! Always do what you love :)

11) Thanks! Tag someone in a random poetic way or just give a stupid quote (you have to make it up though) and then you may leave, here's the key to your handcuffs.

I don't do tags.

In space, nobody can hear you scream. Except over the intercom, and that's just plain annoying.
OR
If you're going to eat somebody's face, you might as well do it politely, with a knife and fork :D (Bit morbid. Sorry)

Done! :)

Reading "The Lost Symbol" at the moment- very intriguing. But tell me, please- am I the only one who gets annoyed by Robert Langdon? I mean, wasn't he supposed to settle down with Sophie? And now he's off in Washington DC, apparently having forgotten all about her. That, and it seems a bit stereotypical that he know all of these powerful people who drag him into stuff.

For those of you who haven't read Dan Brown's stuff- they're awesome mystery novels. Even if he does follow a formula. And he's not paying me to say that.

And for those who don't realy care about Dan Brown and want to know when "Living a Dream" is coming out again, I will say that P21 is almost finished... just not completely happy with it, that's all. It won't be long now, I'm just trying to find a suitable cliffhanger to leave you on :XD:
