I kinda want to draw Eight being served tea by Mrs. Hudson, because that is something that actually happens, but I don’t really have the time -_-
Actually, there are quite a couple of things that I want to draw. Well, maybe later.
Your brain is a wonderful place just for thinking that thought.
I’m about to start reading Interference. It makes me feel both a little bit daunted and quite excited.
Illustration of a scene from Camera Obscura by Lloyd Rose.
It’s not a particularly exciting scene (although it does have nice dialogue), but I thought it’d be fun to try something set at night (I was wrong), and I’ve been wanting to draw Sabbath for a long time.
I’m not exactly happy with this, but I’m posting it anyway.
But this is wonderful! It really catches something of the bleak, Victorian atmosphere in Camera Obscura, and the positions of the characters, with Sabbath following the Doctor a few steps behind, feels a lot like their relationship in that book. And your Sabbath is excellent!

I’m in awe of the artistic skill behind this. Also, I really like the setting. The hospital looks so incredibly bleak, with those greens, and the implication that the ward just goes on. And Eight in the white coat! It’s such a wonderful experience that someone illustrates one’s fic, and I feel really honoured. I really like the fact that the moment anachrophobian chose to illustrate is one which the reader doesn’t actually see, because at that point the narration is all inside the Doctor’s head, so it shows the event from an entirely different angle.
Time War Eight/Fitz fics at 6am in the morning (✿ﾉಥ‿ಥ)ﾉ︵ ┻━┻
Sounds familiar…

Rating/warnings PG. Angst.
Pairings Gen, but can be read as Eight/Fitz. Implied, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it Doctor/Romana
Spoilers None, apart from the existence of the Earth arc. Also vague foreshadowing of events in Adventuress of Henrietta Street, but it is by no means a spoiler.
Summary Having been stranded on Earth the past twenty years without a purpose, the Doctor decides to help when the Spanish flu starts spreading, but trying to blend in among humans prompts realisations about himself.
Author’s notes I wanted to write something about the fact that even if the Doctor forgets his identity after The Ancestor Cell, he seems to retain all other kinds of knowledge. There are so many parts of the Doctor’s development during the century he spends on Earth which aren’t covered in canon, so I always enjoy exploring that.
Cecil. She/her. During the day I sit in libraries staring at books. During the night I write queer fanfiction with a historical slant.
Some not-so-random facts: Gay space lizards are the best lizards. Star Trek is my life. I have too many DS9 ships. Classic Who and the Eighth Doctor Adventures make me grin stupidly. Kelas Parmak is the best. I will defend historically accurate portrayals of Alan Turing to the last drop of blood. Likes and asks end up in the name of @apolesens-otheraccount, because Tumblr doesn't have a way of changing which blog is your primary one. Nothing happens over there - this is the one to follow.
