Delurk attempt #1

order_of_chaosOne of my not-exactly-New-Year's Resolution is to lurk less. I fully intend expect to fail at it reasonably promptly, but until then...
So much to read; so little time.
It is not possible to read every book in the world. It is not possible to read every piece of fanfiction on the 'net. It's not even possible to read every good piece of fanfiction in only the fandoms that I like.
My subconcious does not want to know this. I don't either. I need a timeturner or two, because fandom iseating my brain full of brilliance.
At the moment, I'm a Doctor Who fan - the PotC bits of my brain are dozing contentedly in a corner. My Doctor Who fannishness divides neatly into three parts. Doctor/Jack/Rose, Doctor/Master, and "well, what's the worst I could... oh."
It's summer in New Zealand. It's hot - I've been finding it refreshing to read of people on my flist commenting on the extreme cold.
Last night I dreamt that the Master had regenerated into Darth Maul. Not actually Maul, of course, just the same species/appearance, and he had the most evil evil laugh ever. He was something like a War Leader to a people who hated Time Lords and didn't know he was one, but his current plot was fairly new and he wasn' t the power behind the throne yet; just very, very dangerous. Whoever the people were, they'd just caught the Doctor (purely by conincidence and with no help from the Master, who was going to be oh so happy to see him), when I woke up and forgot all the instictively-known details that made the whole thing make perfect sense.
And then it was about half-past four in the morning and would have been time to wave goodbye to my aunt, uncle and cousin (visiting from Australia), had dad not consulted the internet and discovered that the flight had been pushed back an hour. Played "snap" while waiting, then was thoroughly beaten at "memory." Been mostly dead all day due to late night/early morning, but happy.
