gacked from everywhere.

Empire Magazine has revealed its list of the 50 Greatest TV Shows ever:
1. Bold the shows you watch/used to watch.
2. Italic the shows you've seen at least one episode of.
3. Strikeout the shows you've never seen.
4. Post your answers.

( I do not understand the ranking principle here. How did they evolve this order? )

Did you know...

...that Gmail won't hunt for punctuation marks?

This is a travesty against nature. It means I cannot hunt for things like "Jack:" which would make finding these little snippets significantly easier. Still, I was able to excavate a few more notes from the crack-trenches. So this is for jo02 who requested some more.

One. Ten/Martha. ( This is a Martha/Ten conversation immediately post ::There Are Some Men Who Should Have Mountains To Bear Their Names To Time:: -- If you'll remember, in that story, Ten sorta kidnapped Ianto; after having realised this, Jack phoned Martha and tried to get her to ring the Doctor... and of course, like any normal kidnapper/bloke who knows he's in trouble -- he simply didn't pick up! Clearly he had to go mend some fences... )

Two. Jack/Ianto + Ten. ( This is just a cracked out conversation, inspired by a baby miniature deer pic. And um, animal torture. Remember the part where young!Jack tortured the rabbit, as recounted in ::In Our Bedroom After the War:: -- ...yeah. )

I check lj more often than my professional email

...a sad commentary on the current state of my brain, forsooth. But thank goodness for kayliemalinza who kept me in the loop!

I will say that getting an email which begins:

Fellow Doctor Who scholars,

We have a book deal.

Cambridge Scholars Publishing has accepted my proposal and is in the process of generating and mailing a book contract. So — if you’ve been putting off reworking that conference manuscript, now is the time.

is pretty squeeful. Like. YAY. =D

I've heard mixed things about Cambridge Scholars Press; founded by some scholars at Cambridge, some seem to think it has semi-vanity press associations because of its name; but others seem to think it's simply a young press, trying hard to establish itself in the humanities. But... I checked out their website, and they seem respectable.

Anyway. This means I have to expand that paper, yo. *laughs* I'll just add it to the list! At this rate, I'll sleep when I'm dead.

YAY!

ETA: The abstract for the paper is here, f-locked, if you're interested. The paper's called When Worlds Continue: The Doctor's Adventures in Fandom and Metatextuality.
