Interesting DW links + OMFG NOVEL DONE

First thing—HOLY SHIT, MY NOVEL IS DONE. Wrapped it up today at 73K. Wowwww. *breathes* That's one huge thing dealt with, guys. It's so very raw and I'll need to edit the hell out of it, but it's there. And now I can get back to work/have a bit more time for shows =P (Last OUaT ep and Adventure of Space and Time, then CLASSIC!WHO. Oh, I'm so excited to start watching that again ♥)

Might pop back later for some Day of the Doctor thoughts (basically my comments to [livejournal.com profile] clara_who and [livejournal.com profile] justascrewup2's journal, cleaned up to be stand-alone. For now, a few links I found very interesting (beware of the spoilers!):

First, this article includes very interesting bits of a Moffat interview about the anniversary special—mostly centred on his approach of Billie Piper's part, but it also involves fun stuff about Moffat and RTD's working relationship, Tom Baker's appearance, Peter Capaldi's, and the latter's regeneration scene at Christmas. Loved it all!

This article INCLUDES SPOILERS ABOUT THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL and the Doctor's number of regenerations. Don't read if you're wary of that!

And last, just a bit of fun with The 12 types of Doctor Who fans. I giggled a lot :)

Cheers! ♥

Ah, I'm kind of regretting clicking on that Christmas special link now :( But hey, I forgot a whole bunch of stuff I learned about the 50th anniversary special. Arg, I need one of those memory scanner things from the Black Archive.

In other news, WOW, congrats on finishing the novel! :D That is very impressive and you should be very proud of the accomplishment.

Argh, I'm sorry… :( You need one of those forgetfulness thingies (worms?) that Strax had last Christmas, lol. Or the memory scanners, indeed! ♥
Thank you! :D *flails a little* I still can't believe it!

Oh that's all right... and reading another blurb I realize that Moffat's counting Ten's regenerate-into-the-hand trick. I can totally buy that, and it's not really a spoiler.

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-26 12:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, does make sense. Thought you were getting away with that, Ten? :D There would be Metacrisis selves running around everywhere, just imagine that…

CONGRATZ!!! OMFG this is such a major achievement I can't even words (:P) *confetti* Gah, I don't even know what to say, other than applaud you for your determination and dedication!! :D And of course, that I can't wait to read the whole thing (in English, preferably :P) *cheers*

CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NOVEL! You're my Henry James -and I will be Georges du Maurier in the corner. Publication next year? ;) Oh and Adventure in Space and Time is... prepare handkerchiefs. That's all you need to know.
Your reviews are ace.

The links are very interesting! I thought we already knew about... hum, the regeneration limit.

The comic is adorable. Thank you for sharing!

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-25 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank youuuuuu! ♥♥♥ And pshhhh, get out of that corner, you! *side-eye*
XD I hope so! Lol, revising is going to be a big thing and I have no idea where I'm going to fit it. But it'll get done anyway, somehow =P
I'll have a whole box ready! XD
Thank you! :D I didn't think of it as a proper review, more like a bunch of thoughts but I'm very glad you thought so!
Glad you liked the links! ♥ Courtesy of Facebook!

Congratulations on finishing your novel! I know that's huge. You may still need to edit it, but at least it's all down on paper now. That's a huge hurdle.

Now comes the fun of editing it and polishing it up (I actually like the editing phase, just so long as I remember to save a copy and edit the copy so I always have the original in case anything happens. I hate it when I change something, then decide I liked it better the first way, but now I can't change it back because I overwrote it. Argh! Always keep a spare copy of whatever you start with.)

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-25 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! :D And yeah, at least I've got the raw material, that's quite a big part of the job ;)
Completely agreeing about the spare copies thing. Personally, I liked editing at times and found it awfully hard at others, but writing is about the same ;) Can't always be a walk in the park!

CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS 73K WAT That is fabulous! :DDD

That Christmas special link -- hmm. That somehow just made Eleven more interesting, and the rest I'll have to think about. Annnd there's that little part that's saying Moffat's trolling, but we'll see... XD

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-25 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
*squees* I still can't get over it! :D
Yeah, it's rather intriguing, isn't it? And ROFL, yes, that's possible. Mofftroll to the rescue ;)

[identity profile] honeynoir.livejournal.com 2013-11-25 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Good job, you! :D In three weeks

All the angst-possibilities, it has. (And if it is true, I feel like it would be a lot more gutting to watch it and thing he won't regenerate at all, and then - joy and Capaldi! We already know he's coming...) I still don't see why Journey's End would count, but I'm not Moffat, so.

I guess he did use up regeneration energy when he got shot by that Dalek. So even if he didn't change, he expelled regeneration energy.

[identity profile] honeynoir.livejournal.com 2013-11-26 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's true. He was sort of halway there, all things considered.

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-26 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe! 25 days to be exact :D
ANNNNNGST! Give me all the angst. Love it. Oh, Matt Smith's performance will be something amazing ♥ (AND CAPALDI THANK GOD FOR HIM.)
Welllll, Ten did state that he diverted his regeneration energy, enough to create a full body out of the hand. So maybe it isn't about a count of bodies per se, but the amount of energy required to generate thirteen of them (taking into account that he could use a bit of energy for things like healing River's wrist. OHHHHH, just IMAGINE if she knew that he was running out and that was why she snapped at him for wasting regeneration energy on her!!!).

[identity profile] honeynoir.livejournal.com 2013-11-26 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
:D Yes, and that is marvellous!

That would be the speech to end all his speeches, yeah.

but the amount of energy required to generate thirteen of them
That makes sense. *subscribes to that* And Ten thought he'd be able to keep pouring energy into body parts and never have to regenerate again... *shakes head* Shows how much he knows about regeneration.

River always knows. ;) Also there is an angsty fic waiting to happen.

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-26 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Maaaaaaatt doing speeches. ♥
XD I think Ten didn't care about wasting up the regeneration energy at this point, he just wanted to keep that body :D Shallowness, not-the-right-time-dammit, not wanting to put Rose through another regeneration or had he already seen Eleven without knowing? ;P (Nah… the only place I can settle the Ten/Eleven encounter headcanon-wise is during the specials, what about you? No current companion, and it makes sense with the post-WoM Liz I reference. Only thing, it wasn't really lost!Ten there. But oh well, the rest fits.)
Yessss, she does ♥ Think she'd know about Gallifrey too, if she's met Twelve? *reels* I've been having mental pictures of Eleven telling her like "eeee", but idk… She COULD know :D
Angsty fics for the wiiiin ♥

[identity profile] honeynoir.livejournal.com 2013-11-26 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
XD I think Ten didn't care about wasting up the regeneration energy at this point
Yeah, I get the feeling he's firmly in 'this is the best I'll be and the next one will be useless' land by that regeneration. (Or he was the worst he'd ever been and the next one would be even... more... worse, depending on which shade of Time Lord Victorious he was.) Wouldn't he eventually have realised he'd use it all up and that he'd die for real, though? Or maybe he'd have liked that body to be the very last.

I'm thinking it's between WoM and EoT, too. Ten was neither as he was at the end of WoM or at the beginning of EoT, but I guess it could have been a long time between them, and he did seem more clear-headed (for lack of a better word) after seeing the Ood in WoM and maybe the running-from-everything!fake happy!Ten at the start of EoT was subconsciously remembering Trenzalore? /retcon everything!!

Unless Eleven/Twelve keeps it to himself for some reason (which is odd if he really wants to go home), she has to know, right? (And lbr, if he hasn't told her, she'll find out. Yup.) Unless 'silence falls', I guess.

Yeah, which is rather annoying ;)

That's interesting too! =)

Oh, I wouldn't doubt he did—it probably wasn't something he thought up to be used again though, just "emergency solution NOT GOING RIGHT NOW NOPE". Besides… not enough cut limbs. XD

Yes, I like that reasoning! :D Did get the impression that he'd been running a while between the two, and fake!happy!Ten would fit!

Yeahhhh, she has to. My god, another huge thing she had to keep quiet for SO VERY LONG. =P

True that. *g* Didn't he say he'd never have to regenerate again, though? Or did I imagine that? (I totally might. XD The hubris probably explains it either way.

Ack, imagining poor Doctor angsting about the War and River keeping her poker face on...

I don't think you did, it rings a bell! I'm not finding it though. Oh well.

Oh, goody! I have no desire to watch it again to find out, really.

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-12-06 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm poking around in transcripts, but no luck…

[identity profile] honeynoir.livejournal.com 2013-12-06 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, can't find it either... deleted scene? Fanon? Yeah, idk.

*huggles and hums* What scene? Don't know what scene you're talking about.

[identity profile] darknessfactor.livejournal.com 2013-11-27 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Congrats, dear! I know it'll be amazing.

Interesting about the Christmas Special, though - "I'm dying and there's nothing I can do about it." Will it be a long, drawn-out kind of regeneration, or will it be sudden, closer to the end? It sounds like the former to me, which will probably lead to all sorts of angst. God, I really hope that River's there, somehow. It's irrational, but I can't help it.

[identity profile] flowsoffire.livejournal.com 2013-11-27 11:22 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! ♥♥♥
Yeah, I wonder about the regeneration, too :D And I've heard more rumours about River being there at Christmas—ghhh, I don't know what to think. XD
