grassangelThis is just a link dump. No ratings or warnings given for fic, so please read the headers/click at your own risk.
They Still Write Poetry in the Fifty-First Century – This is a gorgeous fic containing poetry and focussing on Tosh.
Guardian of the Gates – First part of a three-part Torchwood/Tortall crossover. Set after Immortals and the first book of Protector of the Small and after CoE. It is a bit weird, but OMG, two of my favourite series!
The Spaces Between – Second part of the above.
A Small Wish – A Doctor Who/xxxHOLiC crossover. It’s a little average until you hit the very end and then it blindsides you.
Female of the Species – Already linked this but it’s Doctor-genderswitch. It is awesome and has teases of Master/Doctor in it.
Gonna Have a Baby – The very freaky thing is… that this story, written a YEAR before the conclusion of Tsubasa, hits multiple plot points right on the head. It’s freaky, even though we know the CCS-verse parents are not the same as Tsubasa-verse parents.
Not Quite Human – I am generally a Carrot/Angua, Susan/Lobsang shipper, this Susan/Angua fic is really rather cute. And it has footnotes!
Bedsocks, Chivores and Urban Legends – On a hilarious note, this is a Torchwood Rhys/Gwen/Jack fic. I don’t really want to spoil it, but it’s really rather fun.
Talk Nerdy to Me – Oooh, science. Oh, and some Ten/Rose shipping as well.
The Way of the Apartment Manager – An AU Naruto fic focussing on a OC. Elizabeth Culmer is an awesome writer and her stories are always wonderfully balanced and well written. This is just one of her fics that I’d recomend.
End of the Line – This is a hidden gem of an HP fic, tucked away in the HP/Discworld crossovers section. Which is fair enough, as Susan, Death, Albert and the Death of Rats do pop up, but the real stars are the HP characters.
The Silver Cloak – Is delightfully funny crack that kind of actually makes sense. Also Wilf.
Just Keep On Running – The ninth in a series in which the Doctor gain a cloneson because the TARDIS decides he’s too lonely. But I am linking this one because it is hilarious and contains Jenny. (Who is a clonedaughter and just makes it that bit more fun.)
Make your own solar system! (Albeit only with four bodies) – What it says on the box. I personally rather like the binary system preset, especially with the accuracy turned way up so you can see entropy at work.
Choice of The Dragon – Basically, your average choose your own adventure game, except you don’t need to turn to certain pages and there are actual statistics based on your decisions. I can’t wait until they release more games.
Starlight – Is what timelords would play in their TARDISes when they just get their license. Making pictures with the stars. It’s gorgeous, from gameplay to music. ALSO CRAZY simple, but that also means you aren’t beating yourself up about not being able to beat a level. There is a second instalment, which in my opinion, is not as good, mostly due to being a little laggy and they felt the need to do weird things with the basic premise.
the virtual backlot – This is an amazing video showing what exactly compositors do and how… barren studios are today in TV production.
SolarBeat – ‘Music of the stars’ only not the sounds produced by magnetic winds or by some composer fancying that this is what the planets sound like, but orbital frequencies translated into tones. It takes about five minutes for Pluto to play.
I Can Hold My Breath Forever – This is a rather creepy game… well, creepy in the manner of ‘Majesty of Colours’ and the ‘Daymare Town’ series. The gameplay isn’t creepy, except the music kind of is and the art style/narrative is. Fortunately, no hairy things pop out at you in this game, but you WILL panic when you get down to 3 and the music speeds up and the darkness closes in… that being said, the music is gorgeous and the story actually leaves you with a bit of a fuzzy feeling.
i dont even game – so i herd u liek playing pointless games? This is fun. You only need to use your keyboard.
(I will likely do another one of these sometime in the future. This was simply getting a little long.)
