Rating/Warnings: The Rating Formerly Known as PG-13. Nothing graphic. Quick and unbetaed, so please do let me know if you happen to notice any typos. THIS FIC CONTAINS LARGE SPOILERS FOR WATERS OF MARS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Summary/Teaser: What if there had been someone else standing in that road at the end of WoM, watching from the shadows?
Author’s Notes: Darn new episode derailing me when I'm supposed to be working on time-critical schoolwork and previous WIP fics! Instead I've written this, which adds a few minutes between Adelaide's final action in the episode and the moment the Doctor sees Ood Sigma in the street, hopefully fitting seamlessly into canon. There is a distinct possibility that this is Old!Jack from the GP Who Universe at some point in his timeline before the events of Growing Pains. I haven't decided yet. But this is definitely a Jack much, much older than the one we last saw in CoE.
Disclaimer/Apology: I don’t own these characters, I’m just borrowing them. For better or worse, I happen to be American. So please excuse my English.

You guys all seem to be having a lot of fun with this from what I've noticed as I scroll through the flist, so I figured I'd post it as well. I don't have huge amounts of free time to spend on LJ right now, but I'm curious if anyone's curious about any of my fics. :-)
Pick a paragraph (or any passage of reasonable size) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Title: On The Structural Uses of Lime Jell-O, a Triple-Drabble
Author: adaliazandra
adaliazandra Characters: Nine!OT3 with a surprise extra
Rating/Warning: Here there be crack, in case it wasn't obvious from the title. :-D
Prompt: taffimai's delightful prompt from the "I wish someone would write..." post over at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
betterwiththree... "Wouldn't the lime jello damage the rug? Then the poor bear will have died for nothing." Taken out of context it's wonderfully random and taken in its intended context from the original post it gives the following fic a whole new (slightly disturbing) meaning...

I do, in fact, still exist. The scholarship stuff was worked out and now school is settling down into a normal level of graduate-level stupidity. I have little free time, though I do spend a good chunk of it working on my current WIPs.
The rest of it I tend to spend hanging around with my crew of friends, lovingly and collectively referred to as the Horde. This past weekend a subset of the Horde (four of us) got together to carve pumpkins and decorate cookies. It was a wonderful day of stress-free fun.
I attempted and was successful in carving the Pumpkin of Rassilon. There was also a Cookie of Rassilon, which was simultaneously much less impressive and considerably more tasty. See pictures below the cut.
( Here there be pumpkins (and cookies)... )
So despite mild but irritating stupidity on the part of various professors and classmates over the course of the previous week, this weekend was a fun and tasty success!

Today was a yellow bottle day. So were the previous several days. There are two reasons why.
( The first reason... )

( The second reason... )
I haven't been reading or writing or watching anything lately. I try, but thirty seconds later my attention is gone and I can't sit still and I give up. Maybe when I know something solid about the scholarship mess it'll be easier. I would love to sign up for Support Stacie again, but realistically I don't know if it's such a good idea for me right now.
I just... ::incoherent stressed-out gibbering::... it's been a yellow bottle day.

Torcwhood Reaction-O-Meter: Sanity has returned. Anger towards RTD is fading slowly. Reaction fic started out as one drabble and will probably be at least six by the time it's ready to post. Overall... I feel slightly sickened by it but willing to look for the good things about the miniseries. It's very well written and acted. There are some great character moments. The fact that RTD utterly failed on the "comfort" part of hurt/comfort means we, the fanfic writers, get to do it for him. Yay for more h/c fic! See, it's all a good thing in the end.
Fic Status Report: My TW reaction drabble series currently has four drabbles and will likely end up with at least six. I'll post it whenwendymr, dark_aegis, and I agree that it's finished. My main Support Stacie fic for taffimai is going well. Part one is finished, part two is writing itself in my head and will go smoothly when I have time to transfer it to computer. I don't forsee problems for the final part. I still owe a bidding-incentive fic to nightrider101, as well as the rest of her OT3 ficathon fic. I'll get back to them as soon as I'm done with the paid Support Stacie fic. Soon, honest!
My Current Location and Internet-Availability Woes: I'm currently in Monterey, CA, for an orientation/convention concerning my scholarship. The hotel I'm in for the next three days is lovely, with beautiful rooms and amenities, but does not have free wireless in the rooms. You can pay $12.95/day for wired access in the room, but that service won't actually work on my laptop for some reason I can not figure out. (It works on my sister's, though. Damn her.) So my Internet access is limited to the free wireless in the lobby and mezzanine. I'm not the only one here having this issue, so it may be difficult for me to find a comfy place to sit with my laptop during our off-hours. I probably won't be able to get online for much chatting until Wednesday night. :-( The bright side of this is that I'll have nothing else to do in the room but work on my writing! I can do most of it without Internet access since I've already done a lot of the research (mostly linguistic) for my current fic.

I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry.
Since May 7th I've been cheating on the Doctor Who fandom with ( Star Trek. )
Speaking of my Who muse, here's a short update on my current fics-in-progress:
1] The Support Stacie winner's fic for
taffimai is almost fully plotted and about ready to get going. I expect good progress.2] The Support Stacie bidding incentive fic for
nightrider101 is still on a back burner, but I have some ideas for the prompt.3] Veritas in Fabula is also fully plotted, and simply awaits a day when I have enough time to sit down and write it.
4] GP Who, as always, slowly grows in scope and depth the longer I refrain from actually writing any more of it. I keep adding things to my plot notes that make me jump up and down with squee, and meanwhile I also make slow progress on the music I hope to post with the story eventually. I really need to finish up my other commitments and then sit down and work on this project again.
Also, while I'm at it, here's an announcement of the best news I've had in a while: Today at 10am EST I officially graduate with my MS in Mathematics! ::does a huge, satisfied Happy Dance::
Now I'm off to pack my bags for a weekend trip to Vermont. I may or may not have any Internets while I'm there, but I'll have my laptop and hopefully some time to do some writing. :-)

This is adaliazandra's fic journal, which she hadn't planned to use very often. That plan has since been defenestrated in favor of posting fic update notices and rambles about DW and TW.
If you note the spiffy paid-account layout, that's becausenightrider101 is simply the most wonderful person ever! :-)
If I seem to have disappeared off the face of the Internet, it's because I probably did. I don't actually *like* suddenly ignoring my LJ friends and leaving my stories hanging, though, so odds are I'll be back eventually.
