The Doctor and the Prisoner of Rome

A while ago, I've written a novel based on the Simm!Master and the 10th Doctor (who-else). For those who are interested, it's available at LuLu.com in PDF. The download is free for everyone.

Description:

Marcellus Quintus, a slave from Londinium, came to the ancient capital of Rome in chains and was sold into prostitution by his cruel master. The young slave suffers a hard and degrading life at the hand of his patron and the clients of the popular brothel, while he remains ignorant of his past and his true identity. Haunted by nightmares, and the voice of a ruthless stranger who is his mirror image, his only solace is senator Cealus Hortalus, who offers help in regaining his lost memory. When the theft of his patron’s assets is unjustly blamed on Marcellus, the poor slave’s life is in great peril as he is forced to endure the cruel punishments for the crime.

Meanwhile, 2000 years in the future, the Doctor finally discovers that he has entrusted the care of his defeated arch-nemesis in the wrong hands. He immediately travels back in time to rescue Marcellus, but will the Doctor be able to save the prisoner’s life before it’s too late?

New chapter In this world you cannot change

Oops, I realize that you folks might not be able to find the link to my story when I keep adding new posts. If you want to read chapter 16, go here.

I've just finished a part of chapter 17. So expect a new update soon.

Ashes to Ashes and Life on Mars

Speaking of music vids that just blew me away, this one by Holywoodgrrl is one of my favorite. Beautifully edited with absolutely gorgeous transitions between scenes.



Go here to give it some well-deserved praise.

Darker music vid

I bumped into this one on you tube. The extraordinary way of editing just blew me away. The music and the images tell a story by its own. The incorporation of the LOM scenes mixed with images of the Doctor reminds me of this fic I've read just this morning by Amproof. They go so well together that it seems as if they belong together.

Read the story here first.

Then watch the vid.

All fics are equal, but some are more equal then others

On the second day of Christmas, my day-off gave to me...

a chance to catch up with my readings, and I found a couple that made me a very happy person indeed! I love cross-overs. As long as they make any sense they tempt me into reading them any time, but these two by Amproof are absolutely amazing.


Sexby, Sam, and Gene express their regrets to candesgirl

A Letter from Edward Sexby to candesgirl, on the occasion of missing her party. Contained herein are spoilers for The Devil's Whore and mention of topics which Mr. Sexby would be most grateful that his lady should overlook.

Read it here


The Copper and the Spaceman (Doctor Who/Life on Mars)

Sam’s quiet morning is interrupted by a stranger.

Speaking of cross-overs, I wouldn't mind someone writing a line or two about The Devil's whore and Doctor Who...

Cover art Devil's whore on DVD



Guess there is but one word to describe this. Gobsmacked indeed...

And yet another thing

God I sound like Jeremy Clarkson, he won't shut up either. I found Yunita's gorgeous music vid today. Like my music vid, it's dedicated to Edward Sexby, and I absolutely loved that song Candleburn by Dishwalla. Thought I should share the goodies!



I looked up the lyrics and still don't know what the song is actually about, but hey, who cares when you listen to that melody.

New chapter coming up

Wohoo! I was totally on the roll today! I've almost finished a new chapter of the story but I'm gonna leave it rest a bit and beta-read it tomorrow before I send it out into the cyberspace and terrorize everybody with my silly grammatical mistakes. My folks are coming around and I promised to cook them Christmas dinner, so there won't be much time to write I'm afraid, plus Doctor Who is on, and I'm absolutely not going to miss that! Still, I'm very excited about the upcoming chapters, and love to scribble them down as quickly as possible, I've got the rough lines of the story plotted all out in my head, but need to restrain myself from filling in the dialogue or the details, or else I wouldn't be motivated to finish writing. Most of the time, I'm typing away like a madman on my apple just because I want to know what happens next myself. Anyhow, you must be bored by my ramblings. A good Christmas to you all and expect a little gift in the form of a new chapter under the tree by tomorrow morgning!

New chapter In this world you cannot change



One good thing about the holidays is that I'm no longer lab-bound and have time to sit at home and write the next chapter of my Donna/Master story. I've been dreaming about this for weeks! No more dreadful spreadsheets filled with rows and rows of numbers, hello virgin white fields to be filled with lovely words and my own imagination.

For those who want to read it, you can go here

The entire first part of the story is now bundled, edited and available as a paperback or PDF download at LULU.com. You can find it by clicking on the book banner on your right.

Ahh! I'm completely wrapped up in the holiday spirit. I think I'll order a pizza for dinner and snooze on the couch till me boyfriend shows up from work.

Sam in Ashes to Ashes?



I bumped into this piece of information on the internet. The source is Digital Spy, so you should probably take this with a whole truckload of salt...

It's an interview with Beth Willis, the producer of ATA. At some point the interviewer asked her a couple of questions about the fate of Sam Tyler.

Does Sam Tyler crop up again in this series or have we drawn a line under that now?

"I think we've essentially drawn a line but he does crop up a couple of times. We have a character from Life On Mars who will come up at some point during the series and that will inevitably reopen questions about Sam..."

Is it possible you could have John Simm back?

"I'm sure that would be an interesting thing to do but I think it would have to be story-led. What we know thusfar is that Sam Tyler's car went into the river and he died. So that would be a bigger picture we are exploring if he were to come back!"

For the full interview go here

Boulevard of Broken Dreams music video



This songmix is mainly composed out of Boulevard of broken Dreams (Greenday) and Wonderwall (Oasis). I took the main characters of Crime and Punishment and Casanova and I fitted each of them with a song. Rodya = Boulevard of broken dreams, and Casanova = Wonderwall. In the last part, the characters switch songs and their stories eventually become one in the end. Rodya Raskolnikov and Giacomo Casanova are played by the talented John Simm and David Tennant respectively. The clips are taken from the wonderful BBC series.

Yet another video: Jip's Mastermix

Yep, I've also made a Human traffic/Doctor Who music video. The Music is Garbage's Push it. I particularly like Jip's intoxicated ramblings in the beginning of the vid, as if he knew what was to come! Listen to Jip's opinion about his newest obsession: the Master....

Summary:
A year has passed since the earth was restored to its rightful place in the solar system after the defeat of the dark legions. Donna, a timelord’s excompanion, is oblivious of her previous adventures with her lost friend, but fails to find happiness in the dreary routine of every day life. At the same time, a troubled young man with severe memory loss tries to survive in the London streets. His only valuable possession that links him to his past is a silver ring engraved with alien symbols.

When his ring accidentally falls into Donna’s hands, strange events follow, starting with dreams in which she’s haunted by a man in a mysterious blue wooden box. When Donna sets out to find the ring’s rightful owner, she soon finds herself in danger as the identity of the young man is revealed to his enemies. While the secret of the ring unfolds, the past catches up with Donna and the master of the ring. Both find their fates entwined in an adventure that could change history, forever.
