tardis_bigbang site went live. There are 23 stories of varying degrees of length, and there seems to be something for everyone. I hope. There are mixtures of Classic Who, New Who, the Adventures (Eighth Doctor radio adventures), Torchwood, the Sarah Jane Adventures, and whatever else has ever come out of the Who universe. These are long and involved stories, with art made to match each adventure.
The site can be found -> [HERE]
My current favourite (and really, I've only had time to read 1 fully) is this:
The Idiot's Guide to Foiling Alien Invasions by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Author's summary: Jackie and Mickey save the day by bickering, drinking lots of tea and spending a lot of time in the pub in the middle of the day.
Why I think people should read it: It's 20,000 words of Jackie and Mickey save the world - really just the British Government - with wonderful cameos by Sarah Jane, UNIT, Donna, Rose and the Doctor (Ninth). It takes place in the first season of the New Who, and really should be labelled as more-than-moderately cracktastic, simply for the premise alone. But along the way there are some great lines and fabulous situations. Here's a few of my favourites:
"We know who you are, Mr Bond," said Mickey. As soon as he said that he felt as though he should be sitting on a swivel chair stroking a white cat.
and this...
How was it that he could use the PC in his flat to nick a medium range missile from the British Army but he couldn't change the ring tone on his mobile from the Crazy Frog?
and then there's this...
Mickey's girlfriend had been pinched by a time travelling mad man and he'd spent the last few days as part of an alcohol based resistance against the evil forces of the Burger King aliens. He thought people had pretty much lost the right to tell him what he would or would not believe.
On top of all this, there's some truly fabulous art work to go along with the story. Really well done character pictures and wonderful cover art. Check it out. Really. :)

Date: 2008-06-18 01:35 am (UTC)For some reason I get home, work out, have dinner, and then sit down at the computer. Five minutes later, it's time to go to bed! How the heck does that happen?

Date: 2008-06-19 01:40 am (UTC)Recently, I've been 'where did the week go' mixed in with 'can it be Friday yet' on Monday mornings. It's a weird combination of being unwilling to do anything but sit around reading or watching tv, and deciding if I have a good enough excuse to avoid work/school the next day. I've turned into such a slacker.
