A Teaspoon And An Open Mind: A Doctor Who Fan Fiction Archive

I like green and brown, Great Big Sea, really long scarves, thesauruses, snowball fights, random punctuation (especially parenthesis), and endlessly fiddling with my profile page. Oh, Doctor Who is quite nice too. So is fanfic, which I pretentiously call pastiche. Hopefully mine isn't too awful.

New Who fan (thank you CBC) who became an obsessive, scarf knitting old skool fan. My favourite Doctor is Three mostly because he has a cape, does Venusian Aikido, and hangs out with UNIT, but also because he's just plain cool (you know he is). He's closely followed by Seven and Nine (forever MY Doctor) in a tie. The rest seem to shift positions a lot though 2, 5, and 8 generally stay pretty high on the ladder, but it really depends on who I've been watching recently. I love Eight but fervently believe that the TVM was a giant regeneration-induced hallucination.

I currently ship Doctor/Romana and Ian/Barbara. However, I will accept virtually any pairing so long as it is well-written. I like whumping the characters so be warned (yes, I'm rather sick, probably), but I will bow to the crack & fluff!bunnies when they pounce. Most of what I write falls into the category of uber-random. Beware! Beware!

Beware the Jabberwock... now that's getting a bit off-topic.

If you ever feel like a chat the contact button is just over there *points* I have no life and like to talk. Also, a link to the Death by Aspirin Who community is right below it *gestures wildly* (no, that's the add author to favourites button... also a good link to click) drop in for a chat. We aren't as scary as we seem, and we rarely bite... hard.

Finally, I'm a firm believer in review what you read (not just me, I'm not ego-fishing, honest; everything you read). Most authors like a bit of encouragement, and, though lurking is verily awesome, feedback is what feeds the plotbunnies. Join the movement!

Kay, I've been rambling for entirely too long.


Standard Disclaimer: Doctor Who does not belong to me. Heck, I'm not even British so I don't even have that claim on it. I'm just a crazed little fan girl who comes here to destress after work. Please don't sue me!
