The Black Cat is a real coffee house, so don't be surprised if you ever walk by one! I am in no way associated with the business. I just happen to find the name very Gen-like.
Enjoy!

Nov. 9th, 2011 02:59 amThis isn't so much I had a great idea! As it is, I simply couldn't help myself, even though I probably would've... If I were a sane person, that is.
I should also warn for very (very) mild swearing in the song lyrics.

It's much more fun to listen to the song while you read, because you get to imagine John Simm and David Tennant playing the fiddle! HERE is a work-safe/radio edit version of the song.

Writing Updates - October, 2011
Oct. 9th, 2011 04:41 pmThis is a really good idea and a timesaver. I should've done this before and linked to it, rather than updating various profiles. Anyhow...
Queen's Thief
Love Stories - About six out of the ten prompts are completed. I'm just waiting on my muse for the rest. I really should have finished this months ago, and now I feel quite guilty. Your fic will be completed song prompters, so please don't worry!
Heart of the Tanglewood - Writing chapter four (almost done), and revisions to chapters 1-3 have been made. I'm about half-way done now, and I'm already at 10,000 words. Epp! This story will probably be over 20,000 words by the time I'm done. I, honestly, have never written anything this long. Plot is sewing itself up quite nicely, and I hope I can finish this story very soon.
Catch Me When I Fall - Next installment in The Stolen-Verse; first time writing from the POV of Gen's Mom. Just needs a little editing, but I'm saving this one for the minor character challenge.
Question: Are there any stories about Gen's Mom and his childhood that anyone would like to see added to The Stolen-Verse?
Re-writes
Dinner, Sequel to Breakfast - Not gonna lie to you. My files from my old computer were corrupted, and this one vanished into the vortex of cyber space. Just as well, because it's been a long time since I first wrote it, and it needed to be completely re-written.
Orange Moonlight - Corrupted, will need to be re-written.
Fallen Pedestals - Completely vanished off my hard drive (I think it got tired of me poking at it), will need to be re-written.
Booktrailers...
TT through KoA have been completed. Need to pick a song for CoK, but I'll try working on it soon.
Doctor Who
Rose Tyler in Candy Land, Sequel to Rose Tyler and the Chocolate TARDIS - Rough draft nearly done.
Blood Stains, Prequel to Wash Away the Stain - Planning stages, but I'm very interested in writing more for this AU.
Wrong: time in flux, extension of Wrong - wrote the opening, but I need to plan this one more throughly. Should be either, a very long one-shot, or a two to three parter. It needs a timey-whimy twist.

Summary: The Doctor explains why Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is on his list of Earth-movies-that-must-never-be-watched-on-his-space-ship. Strong emphasis on the his and the must not.
Author's Notes: Contrary to what the title may imply, no portion of the TARDIS is turned into chocolate at any point in this fic. (Sorry...) The author is not responsible for any overwhelming urges to consume Wonka Bars or Jujubes upon reading this fic. ;)
Slight alteration made to cannon in the form of the founding date of the organization, UNIT. Written for the banana_crackeri's Inaugural Ficathon.
