Warnings Policy

  • Jul. 2nd, 2012 at 12:45 AM
spaced friends
I'm currently working through my back catalogue to ensure this policy is followed in a consistent style. Fics that I have not had a chance to edit yet will be marked with a (**).

My fics will be posted with one of the following ratings: all, teen (for mature themes) or adult (for graphic representations of mature themes, i.e. violence, sex...)

As well as this I will also post warnings for potentially triggering topics - I have chosen to place these under the heading 'contains' - as one person's warning is another person's kink and I have no desire to put any value judgement on these topics. What I list under the 'contains' topic will vary as I will also use it to list bits and pieces of things that appear in the fic - for example, schmoop is a possibility. I will always list the following topics when they appear in a fic: 

Cut for list )

I may clarify these terms for each particular fic - for example I may choose to highlight when it is a canon event or if it is a reference rather than an in-story depiction.

I'm doing this to enable people to browse my fics safely and comfortably - for those who do not want to do this, the 'contain's' label is obscured unless highlighted. I would also like to note that I'm human - I may make mistakes and I'm incredibly sorry about that - if there is something that you feel I should have warned for and haven't or you would like further information on any of the labels on a fic please contact me at: rhianwatts @ gmail . com

Thanks

The Top Ten Things I Hate About...

  • Jul. 11th, 2009 at 2:39 AM
ianto made of awesome

So, I've not posted about Children of Earth since the first day - partly because I was busy, partly because I was enjoying the squee, partly because I was heartbroken. And to be honest, I think I'm done with Torchwood now. But this post was brewing. I've tried to take a step back and I've tried to be coherent - but I'm not sure it worked. So here are the top ten things I hate about that thing that happened in episode 4 (with spoilers right up until the end):
 


(Fake cut to my dreamwidth as apparently this is too long for lj... whups - MASSIVE SPOILERS)

Puppy Love

  • Jun. 27th, 2009 at 10:49 PM
me
So... I probably should have been doing other things tonight like making my room habitable or ironing my uniform or eating something that doesn't come in bar form. Instead I have been doodling - inspired by [info]imochan's awesome Remus/Sirius love post - so much love, so much cool stuff. Anyway I missed the vast majority of the heydey of puppy shipping as I was away from fandom at the time and looking back I realised I only have one Remus/Sirius drawing which is terribly drawn, which makes me sad (as whatever my post Deathly Hallows feelings) I love the ship. So I decided I had to change it - so here is a sketchy quickly drawn pic of a balmy summer day - please ignore the horrid anatomy (lets pretend it's the weird angle or something). Loves everyone. :D

So I finished my first  draft of my [info]tardis_bigbang  fic last week and have been focused mainly on the editing since, but as it's gone off to be beta'd, I had a free evening and decided to write something relaxing - anyhow, this fic has been rattling around my head for ages and it was a relief just to get it out there - written in about three hours, still riddled with mistakes and I'm not really sure why it came out the way it did, but I don't want to get bogged down with it so I thought I'd just post it.

"These are a few of my favourite vids..."

  • May. 16th, 2009 at 2:24 AM
martha doctor
So a while back I finally managed to get Divx to load on my computer (having tried many times) - which led to manic amounts of fanvid downloading and watching. Anyway I never get round to reccing anything, even when I love it - mostly because I'm lazy. Anyway I've had a frustrating couple of days and decided that the best way to forget about them was to start spreading the love - so here is my massive fanvid rec list of doom. Lots that I love that I ran out of space for - sorted mostly by fandom and some of the vids are years old but that's what happens when you sit on these things for ages.

...girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes )

So there you go. Hope that wasn't too boring. If anyone has any recommendations for good Mickey or Jake (or both) vids - I'm in the mood for one. Also is there a 'Heroes Girls are Awesome' vid out there? Possibly with a side order of 'So why do you keep killing them?"

Also I don't suppose there's a place I could abandon a vid plot bunny - as I have no capability of actually making this thing and it's praying on my mind.

donna doctor awesome
So, my laptop has been getting increasingly pernickity (how the hell do you spell that word?) over the last few weeks - I spend hours trying to convince it it's plugged in and even then the internet has barely been working. So today I ignored the rather desperate state of my finances and bought myself a brand new netbook - thought it would be better to get something small and simple just for my writing and browsing the net when I'm on the move. So far I'm rather in love. Here's a photo of it beside it's big brother (who I'm hoping to keep for the jobs this one can't do):



It's so tiny. :D

Speaking of being rather in love, [info]such_heights has written me wonderful Adam Mitchell (one of my secret new-who faves) fic for [info]tardis_gen  - go and heap love and praise on both her and the fic here:- such-heights.livejournal.com/171475.html

Alas with all the computer problems I think I may be dropping out of [info]tardis_bigbang - I've managed 10,000 words so far but that means I need another 5000 words by Sunday and my best friend is arriving tonight so we can go to London for the weekend - won't be back until Sunday when I'm working until 11pm.

Ah well, will get as much written as I can before she arrives tonight.

Fic - Giving Gifts

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!! AGAIN!!!

So yep, here's the story - like I said on the last post, I'd decided I wanted to write a Valentine's fic and did and that was the end of it. Except then on Wednesday my friend came to Stratford-Upon-Avon and we wandered around Shakespeare Houses (when we weren't being hailed on or watching a girl hit a swan with a bag of bread) and in one of the houses there was a display about Valentine's Day and its Medieval origins and then we went to a pub and I forgot all about it. That is, until I got home and watched Merlin and this sort of spilt out.

So, yes, unplanned and rushed and not as polished as I'd like - but here it is, my first foray into Merlin fic (not the first I've written ironically, but that one is being worked on as we speak).

Anyhow, flaws and all this is dedicated to [info]such_heights  as I shamelessly stole one of the scenes from a drawing I did for her a while back. And, you know, because she's awesome.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

Yes, I know, I know - I'm a few hours early. But what's a few hours between friends? Anyhow, back in January sometime I decided it might be fun to write something for Valentine's Day. At the time I was watching Sarah Jane Adventures (which is awesome - alas, why do I have no more room for icons?) and this silly little idea popped into my head - and then it got bigger and then Eleven got involved (I definitely couldn't have guessed I'd be writing Eleven) and yep, from that point on, it was competely out of control.

Anyhow, written entirely for my own enjoyment really and mostly cracky crack fun - but hopefully some of you might like it too, so this is dedicated to my lovely, lovely friendslist.

It turns out that all it takes for me to actually get out of the house at a reasonable time to do my laundry is for it to snow – so if we could just organise that every week, that’d be great. Anyway I spent far too much time yesterday wandering around Stratford in the snow taking photos and now my legs ACHE from all the trying not to slip in the sludge.

In other news, in a fit of madness I have signed up for [info]tardis_bigbang – eep! Help!

Also alas, I have just read THE interview in Dr Who Monthly and I fear I am in danger of falling in love with Matt Smith before I’ve even seen him act in anything.

Here are my five favourite quotes in the hopes of sharing my excitement, because, seriously I love how this man talks:

1. … luckily we’re in the hands of Steven Moffat, who has this show ingrained in his soul and searing through his blood.

2. We’ll talk about my intentions, their intentions, how we feel it can fly, and sing, and be as brilliant and as Doctor-y and as excellent as it can be.

3. What’s brilliant about being the Doctor is… as an actor, you sort of… when you get a part, when it’s yours, I don’t know how it is for other actors, but you carry it around with you, or inside you, all the time. So, when you drink a cup of tea, or eat an apple, or run a bath or whatever, you can do it with him in mind – and the Doctor is such a wonderful part to carry around with you, because, as you say, he’s 950, he’s got two hearts, and he’s the Doctor, isn’t he? The most brilliant, bounding, leaping mind of us all.

4. [In response to a question about whether he had to think twice about taking the role] No, because… as much as I profess not to be a huge kind of scholar of the show, getting to know the Doctor through the scripts that I’d been given was thrilling. I fell in love with him, instantly. I thought, this Time Lord is brilliant! Steven’s scripts are so inventive and funny, and I like the idea of the Doctor being… well, I don’t want to give away too much.

5. I’m going to try and make my Doctor as varied, and brilliant, and dark, and unpredictable, and happy, and sad, and funny as I can – every facet of me, really – and explore it with bravery and courage. I’m going to do it my way, and see where it takes me, and I really hope you enjoy it. I hope you continue to get a thrill when that brilliant music kicks in. Diddle-de-dum, diddle-de-dum, diddle-de-dum… and then woooooooeee!

And one extra, because this gives me lol-worthy images of the Doctor as a child setting up elaborate traps:

I think back to when I was a little boy, and I always had a vivid and active imagination. I was always making booby traps or inventions.

Also – yes the Torchwood trailer was awesome. XD


Spring Awakening

  • Feb. 6th, 2009 at 2:31 AM
me

Yep this got far too long for the main London post. It was mainly Spring Awakening that pushed me to make the trip to London – I’ve heard a lot about the American productions and wanted to give it a go and it seemed worth making the trip while the tickets were still cheap.

Hmmm…. It’s difficult to know where to start with this, because I overall loved it but there were things I didn’t like as well. I think I’ll stick most of the stuff I didn’t like at the bottom in a pseudo-essay type thing – because I can’t seem to discuss it without big massive spoilers. But roughly speaking – I didn’t much like Melchior (whups main character), thought it missed some great potential and was somewhat disgusted by the way homosexuality was portrayed. With that out of the way, if you don’t want to be spoiled just stick to this top section, if you’re vaguely interested in my disjointed rambling just scroll down.

Review )

 

 

Rant (with added massive SPOILERS) )

 

     
So yes, despite this rant (which was basically a long way of saying I didn't like the main character and one scene), overall I liked the musical and would like to see it again but I don’t think I’ll ever be quite comfortable watching it. And it could be so much better.

Just a quick happy post today.

I am immersing myself in new fandoms today, or rather old fandoms which I should have watched years ago. It is wonderful fun. I watched the first two episodes of Life on Mars today as a paper is giving both series away over the next two months. So much love. And I'm really enjoying the whole only getting to watch two episodes a week thing and then having to wait. Despite my tendency to hoover through TV shows, I actually quite enjoy that sense of anticipation between episodes.

I've also watched the first few episodes of Firefly today and can see why everyone loved it so much. I adore Kaylee of course - but I fear I am completely losing my heart to Jayne. This fills me with so much baffled amusement it is ridiculous - as he is a million miles from the usual types of characters I like. Alas I fear he will break my heart one way or another.

* * * * *

Speaking of fannishness - I meant to post this ages ago. But I had my own go at putting together a New-Who timeline for the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Lots of nutty speculation ahoy. But if you're interested, it's here:- [info]iantos_desktop 

What can I say, I am clearly a mouth breathing wikipedia editor. ;)

Now I just have to work out if that's a valid piece of work for my Get Your Words Out word count. It certainly took a lot of time out of my writing. Not that it's a massive problem. For once, I'm actually ahead - but being 10,000+ words ahead would be a nice feeling.

me
So as I’ve wandered around the Who-verse fandom, I’ve stumbled across quite a bit of anger at the Doctor, particularly in series 3 and particularly because of the way he treated Martha and Jack. I’ve heard him called a lot of things, none of which quite match the way I feel about the Doctor now, I don’t think he’s as selfish or heartless as some people may think. So I doubt this will change any minds, but I thought some people might be interested in my take on the Doctor and why he treats people the way he does.

To explain why I’m discussing this the way I am, first of all I have to explain how I see the story telling in new-Who. I think there is a story being told throughout new-Who about the Doctor’s relationship with his companions and how it’s developing and changing. Within this story I think each series has told a specific chapter or idea, or made a specific point. I don’t mean that this is the main theme of the series, it’s more like a side theme, it’s not explored in every episode – but it is there in the background.

This may sound a little over the top and pre-planned and I don’t mean that every series was planned from the beginning, it makes very little difference if there’s a long term plan or whether it’s decided at the beginning of each separate pre-production stage, it’s something that could easily emerge organically from the writing process.

But RTD has been a Who fan for a very long time, I’m sure he’d thought plenty about what he’d like to do if he was in charge. I sometimes get the impression that people don’t think there’s much forethought going into this – I can only talk for myself, but when I’m writing anything, I’m simultaneously thinking about and planning three or four things I’d like to do next. So personally I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to think that the Who team, who are much cleverer than I am, may be doing the same.

So with that out of the way – lets get onto what I think has been going on in the last three series and what the future might hold.

SPOILERS RIGHT UP UNTIL 4.01 – PARTNERS IN CRIME

 


Oh good lord – how did this get to be so long? I hope some of this made some sense to some people (I’m not sure I can hope for any more than that as mostly this has been rambling).

But yes – I think there has been some very deliberate exploration going on throughout new Who about both the impact of the Doctor’s relationships with his companions and the way he handles those relationships. It’s a work in progress and he doesn’t always get it right – but I think he’s getting better at it.

(**) HP Fic - Traditions

  • Apr. 11th, 2008 at 1:53 PM
rajah wtf
Whups, in my Torchwood frenzy I seem to have been sitting on a pile of H_E fic contest entries. So here's me starting to catch up. In other news, instead of having one person to stay at the weekend - it's now four o_O - silly band, forgetting to book accomodation. I've not done much in the last few days, started a new TW fic, first chapters almost finished although I shall have to go over it again as John is not co-operating. Hmmm...

Anyway, the prompt for this fic was leaving traditions for Hogwarts students, I was kind of pleased with this one.
