Well, most gifts and cards have hit the great mail and are on their way to their recipients. Some are about to, some may get their stuff from online ordering. Stay tuned. And now I'm exhausted. Argh, Christmas shopping, evil. I suspect I shall feel more cheered up about it once I'm no longer sick of wrapping and can ogle gifts I'm getting. *pets Daleks*
Shades of Dawn got updated. Chapter five found here (CSI Forensics) or here (ff.net). Unbetaed, since my beta seems to have wandered off and haven't been heard for in over a week, but I'll replace it with the beta version as soon as I get it. Apologies for any screw-ups meanwhile. And next chapter won't take quite as long, I promise. (I just have to fight the urge to have the Doctor and Rose randomly pop up. Bad Cam.)
Am pondering what to write next. Slowly writing on my thing for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
dw_santa, pondering the CSI/Doctor Who crossover I have in the works, have a vague sort of idea for a 'mirror' fic where Rose gets yanked back and forth between realities with Nine and Ten, helping to come to terms with the regen and all. Humhum. Might wait till after Christmas though, so I get a better idea of Ten.

knorg (naturally): Daleks and Tentacles, Oh My! (Bit kinky, you're warned.)
Spoilers for the Christmas Invasion special of Doctor Who and hits of series two - *resists urge to squee like a fangirl* That's certainly... Interesting. Yes.
Remember the little birdie that knocked over dominoes and got shot for it? It's going into a museum. I'm not sure whether to laugh, generally boggle or just shake my head at the world.
Execution to go ahead after all. Sigh. But this is an interesting discussion on redemption and the US death penalty.
For the many Americans and people of other countries who are not Christians, or who have no religious affiliation at all, the whole argument can seem arcane and meaningless.
But there may be something for all of us to value here, the idea that a human life is always capable of change and betterment until the moment of death.
If you think that, of course, you may feel the death penalty no longer has any value in the sort of society you want to share.
YES. Word to sodding infinity. The death penalty has not been a part of Norwegian society for a while, and for this I am glad. I don't want it in my world. Perhaps I am naive and optimistic and very, very Norwegian - but I don't want it in my world. As much as there are people out there that disgust me, enrage me and even hurt me (Hello, Bastard! I know you're out there, unaware of how much you fucked with my life. Sod you), I don't want to be able to judge death upon them.
And this was today's ponderings.
ETA: WTF review I got on a LotR fic yesterday - Oh what a beautiful and sad story. I have just finished reading it and I am still crying. Please continue writing more beautiful stories. May Valar protect you, Elena, daughter of Aragorn, maiden of Gondor
