Fanfiction Recommendations

As is my usual custom, I'll be adding spoiler tags for the newly-aired episodes of Doctor Who, namely both parts of the "The End of Time." For those who wish to avoid--or seek out--stories that contain spoiler elements from those episodes, I'll be using the tag spoilers:theendoftime to refer to stories that contain spoilers from either Part One or Part Two. Please be aware that stories I've tagged on Delicious with the spoiler warning may also contain tags that in themselves may be spoilers. I'll also continue to use the spoilers:watersofmars tag.

For Twitter followers: Since some of the basic character information I usually share about stories can be considered spoilers in the case of some stories about "The End of Time," I will be using "Spoiler" in the place of some names. You can always find more information on my main Delicious page.

At present, I plan to keep the spoiler warnings in place for at least a month, possibly longer depending on when the main Doctor Who communities begin to relax spoiler standards.

Housekeeping notes: Due to a slight miscalcuation on my part (Tip: When planning the time to show up for a flight, be sure you're reading your departure time from that aiport, not your arrival time at the next airport), I got back a day later and a lot tireder than I thought I would. But I'm back in my routine now, and reading through the backlog of stories posted while I was away. I thought the holidays might be slow in terms of story posting, but this has, somewhat happily for me, not proven to be the case. I'm getting through about two days worth of posting a day, so I will, hopefully, be caught up in another week or so. I hope everyone had a happy New Year! :)

Starting tomorrow, December 12, I will be traveling a lot for the rest of this month, and won't have steady internet access. I will be away from reliable internet service on the following days:

Dec 12-13 (Saturday and Sunday)
Dec 18-20 (Friday-Sunday)*
Dec 27 (Sunday) - January 4 (Tuesday)

*My daughter's winter break also begins on the 18th, which will mean that my days will be a bit busier than normal. :)

I may, possibly, have internet access during the last period, but I won't know for certain until I get where I'm going. The upshot is that daily service will be spotty until the first week of January, but after that things should return to normal.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Sorry for the not-as-regular-as-usual reccing the last few days. I've had a migraine since Saturday, and all attempts to squelch it--including getting a shot of painkiller in a place that was not my arm today--have failed. I'm taking tonight off from reccing and tagging, and possibly tomorrow as well. Just wanted to let you know what was going on.

Also, while I'm interrupting the normal schedule to post things that aren't actual story recs, I'll mention that I will most likely not have internet access from Tuesday through Sunday next week. I may be able to squeeze in some posts over the Thanksgiving holiday, but if not you'll at least know that I didn't fall off the face of the earth.

Take care, all.
