Loves and stratagems

do you ever get sad because Fitz Kreiner is not going to be in the 50th anniversary

I often get sad because of Fitz Kreiner full stop. (But I’ve been leafing through Time Zero recently, so there’s a reason for that.) It would be sort of awesome if he turned up in some episode, but then again, what if they don’t do it well? I don’t want them to ruin anything. 

Someone should organise a neglected-but-awesome-characters ficfest for the 50th anniversary.

I still find it a little bit difficult to accept that Sabbath doesn’t have long eighteenth century hair. I imagined it when he first turned up, and the idea of someone in the 1780s not having any hair worries me more than it should. 

*goes back to writing EDA fic* 

Over the last few days, I’ve realised something strange. I’m usually quite alright with the fact that canon isn’t as shippy as things are in my head. I’m not bothered by the fact that characters who are sometimes very lovey-dovey aren’t always that, and that there might be other relationships which the writers play up more. I will happily imagine that there are things going on between scenes and off-screen, or that the narrator is being selective. Even if I always want there to be slashy/shippy things, I know that there are usually not that many, and you learn to make do.

But when it comes to the Eighth Doctor Adventures, I crave support of the canon. I don’t want Fitz to be more concerned about anyone else than he is about the Doctor. I want them to hug after they lose each other every time. Not only do I imaging there being hand-holding when it’s not there, I want them to mention it. I don’t know why I can usually compartmentalise this stuff with most other canons, but not with this one. Perhaps it’s because the EDAs get so close to making something like Eight/Fitz canon, that I want them to always hold that level of slashiness. I know that there is the possibility of canon taking the same position as me (a possibility which usually doesn’t exist), so it’s frustrating when they don’t. Or perhaps it’s just that I’m overly emotionally invested in the ship… 

What happens when I sit down to write EDA fic: I get my copy of the Iliad out and try to find one obscure line which I might have hallucinated anyway, so that I can reference it. 

…Why don’t I just get back to the actual writing?

tribalgirl:

Ugh.

WHY IS FITZ/EIGHT SO FREAKING UNLOVED.

I ship them so hard and they are basically my new OTP but it feels like only 0.001% of the Doctor Who fandom has even heard of Fitz.

Ugh.

THIS ISN’T FAIR.  

We’re few, but we’re very passionate about them!

thought-:

Sometimes I think about how Amy waited for the Doctor, and how Jack waited for The Doctor, and Martha walked the world for The Doctor, and Rose broke through the walls of reality for The Doctor and River’s life is forever intertwined with The Doctor.
And then I remember
The doctor waited for Fitz.

For 100 years.
On the power of nothing but a vaguely obscure note.
And then I have feelings.

Me too. Me too. 

lucyzephyr:

I really like the idea of using the Tumblr downtime for writing, then posting whatever I come up with

question is: write about Fitz Kreiner, or write the TVverse Harry/Marcone fic?

In my mind, whenever in doubt, the answer is Fitz Kreiner.
