This is why the Internet was invented...

...so that Dangerously Overinvested Readers like myself could hang out on author blogs and encourage them to write crackfic about their own characters.

(Seriously, though -- Sebastipole and Europe on the vinegar seas battling pirates and evil monsters and falling in love? WOULD BE AWESOME.)

ETA to justify this post's existence: A really smashing D.M. Cornish interview over at SFRevu.

FIC: "Hope Deferred" (DOCTOR WHO, Ten/Donna, 820 words)

Well, what do you know. One minute I'm spouting theories about the S4 finale in calapine's journal and the next minute I'm writing fic for the first time in... what, two years?

( Massive spoilers for 'Journey's End' here -- but if you've already seen it and were feeling unhappy about Certain Developments, this story might help )

The really sad thing about all of this is that I don't even have a Donna icon to use on this post.
