50 Questions for Fic Readers

I just felt like answering some questions (source post @braveten)

1. What fandom(s) do you read?

Doctor Who and TenInch Fic

2. If you could request more of a certain type of fic, which would it be?

I would love for more people to take up the challenge of writing TenInch Fic ... so many DT characters that need some loving

3. What is your favorite all-time fic?

It’s not possible to pick just one!?!?!?!? It would be a toss up between stories written by @whoinwhoville @kelkat9 @jellyneau-xo @studio-forty-two @natural--blues @licieoic @pipertennant ... okay i’m stopping there because this list will get really long

4. Do you ever re-read fics? How about triple-read?

I quadruple read, quintuplet read, sextuplet read, septuplet read ... some I read every six months or so because I need to live in those worlds

5. Do you prefer angst or fluff?

Yes

6. Do you prefer long fics or short fics?

Yes

7. Name some incomplete fics that you wish were completed.

Blimey ... umm ... okay ... here’s a short list

Bad Wolf by @licieoic Shades of Blue Series by @bluedawn0123 [Edit: oops I had the wrong author] Out of the Ashes by @mercwithamouth Meetings Series by @wildwinterwitch Every story ever abandoned by throughanamberfocus especially The Zeppelin Verse

8. Talk about the ships that you read.

Doctor x Rose is the beginning, the middle and the end but really I’m all about the story ... if it’s good and captures my imagination I’ll read all sorts of little and giant ships

9. Do you read smut?

Of course!!! And you do too ;p

10. What’s the most hard-core smut or kinky fic you’ve ever read (be honest)!

I’ve read some really weird stuff in the wee hours of the morning ... but as for the ones I really enjoyed

Claimed by @licieoic Metacrisis: Jack by @fogsblue  Four Dimensional by Annissa

11. Do you read AUs?

I LOVE AUs!!!!!!

12. List a few of your favorite AUs.

Gallifrey Records by @allrightfine and @gallifreyburning  Perfect Match by @lastbluetardis  TARDIS Bookstore by @ofstormsandwolves A Ghost Story by @kelkat9 Evolution of a Scandal by @rishidiams Elsewhere by @fadewithfury Heartsmith by @licieoic Arkytior: A Snow White Tale by @natural--blues 

13. What type of AUs are your favorites? Give a general description.

See the list above :D

14. What makes you give up on reading a fic?

Mainly if I don’t like the way the characters are written or if the story is not put together well ... having said that I’ve persevered with some really crappy writing for a story idea that captured by imagination

15. What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound interesting?

It’s different every day because my reading tastes change with my moods

16. Name a fic that made you cry (or that made you come close).

The Time Loop series by @weezly14 ... every single damn time my poor heart hurts just thinking about it

17. Name a fic that made you laugh a lot.

Psychedelic Pollen and Dalek Squirrels by @kelkat9 ... tell me you’re not laughing already just at that title :D

18. Do you have a fic recommendation page or master list?

Do @timepetalsprompts and @teninchfic count as rec pages???

19. How many fics do you think you’ve read before?

Easily tens upon tens of thousands probably even into the hundreds of thousands now

20. What’s the weirdest fic you’ve ever read? Describe it.

I read one where the Doctor’s penis had it’s own personality and I think it was detachable and possibly changed personality when the Doctor regenerated ... it was one of those that you kept thinking the author was on some fairly serious drugs when they wrote it but you just can't stop reading it

21. Do you read crack!fic?

I think we should just take it for granted that I read all types of fic

22. Name a few of your favorite crack!fics.

Once again favourite ... okay the first one I thought of was ...

Lordstorm and his LiveJournal Adventures by @kelkat9 

23. Has fluff ever made you cry? What about angst?

Oh I’ve definitely cried at both

24. What’s the longest fic you’ve ever read?

The Life and Times of Daniel Ulysses Barrow by ceeare ... it was over 500k but unfortunately the author took it down to “break it up in to readable pieces” and has never finished publishing it again ... it was one of those ones that will rip your heart out

25. What’s your opinion on reading dubious consent or no consent?

Once again it all depends on the story ... there are some where its sex pollen induced which I’m completely okay with ... but then there are some stories that describe rape as if it’s just a normal sex scene which I am very much against ... I’ll stop reading those stories immediately and never look back

26. Name a type of fic you’ll never ever read.

I try not to say never ever because there are ships that I thought I’d never read but then got desperate for new stories and discovered some amazing authors who made me fall in love with ships I had in the notp bucket ... I’m looking at you @basmathgirl in particular

27. Name a type of fic that you wish there was more of.

teninch fic and doctor piper fic ... I just love authors challenging themselves to write new characters

28. Who are your favorite fanfiction author(s)?

This gets me into trouble ... okay authors I’ve not mentioned yet that I love to read ... @caedmonfaith @thedistortedmirror @emkaywho @faithosaurus-fics @justbygrace @lixabiz @lostinfic @nannyogg123 @nopondintheforest @perfectlyrose @doctor-who-hears-a-horton @rudennotgingr @tenscupcake @veritascara @whatwecanfic ... there are soooooooo many more but this is quick list from my following page

29. When you find an author you like, do you follow them?

Absolutely!!!!! If I fall in love with one of their stories I want to read everything they’ve written

30. How often do you read fanfiction?

EVERY DAY ... for many many hours ... before I go to sleep ... when I wake up ... whenever I can

31. Do people know that you read fanfiction?

Well everyone on here knows ... in RL ... well I’ve made vague mentions about reading Doctor Who and Broadchurch stories online but don’t get into specifics ... although I did get my Mum addicted to A Million Holes Poked in the Soul by @nannyogg123 

32. Do you leave reviews after reading fics? If so, what do they sound like?

I used to write comments after every fic I read but it was slowing down my reading now I only leave comments on things I really enjoyed and felt compelled to comment on ... so they tend to be gushy :D

33. When you read a good fic, do you go to the author’s page?

Definitely, I always want to read more stories by a talented author

34. Name a common type of fic that you cannot stand.

You’ll probably hate me for this but ... I’m not a fan of the drabble ... there I said it let the backlash begin

35. Name all the Work in Progress fics that you are currently reading.

hahahahahahahahaha ... umm sorry ... currently I have 40 update notifications of individual stories in my email ... and that’s just the ones I haven’t caught up with yet ... oh and some of them I’m a few chapters behind so I’ve opened the new emails to keep the count down so I don’t feel so bad ... the reality is that I’m probably reading about 60-70 WIPs ... this post is long enough without me adding this list to it

36. Has a fic ever left you unable to fall asleep or think about anything else?

Heeled by @jellyneau-xo ... I don’t think I’ll ever be able to own a pet again ... actually all of Jelly’s stories have me thinking about them long after they’ve finished

37. Are you good about keeping up when reading Work in Progresses?

Despite what I’ve said above I’m not that bad ... although I tend to delay reading fics I love so I get a nice big chunk of reading in one go

38. Name some of your favorite fic recommendations pages.

See all the rec pages by @allegoricalrose ... definitely some quality reading there :D

39. Name a fanfiction author that you’re scared to talk to because they’re so amazing.

I remember being terribly scared about talking to @kelkat9 and @whoinwhoville because I am so in awe of their writing but they are both absolutely beautiful people and you should definitely reach out to them to talk about writing and all things DW and DT :)

40. Have you ever written fanfiction or considered it?

I once was strictly a reader only and then I wrote a little thing and then another and then @pipertennant and @studio-forty-two kept encouraging me to write more and more and well I guess I have to call myself a fanfic writer now

41. Name a fic that has a perfect ending.

Don’t make me choose ... as long as they have a happy ever after I’m good

42. Name a fic that you wish was longer.

ALL OF THEM.  ALL! OF! THEM!!!!!!!

43. Do you read OT3 fics commonly? Have you ever?

I love ‘em especially ... Loved ‘verse and Lostverse by fid_gin and unfolded73

44. Do you mainly read TV shows, movies, or books?

umm yes?? DW and TenInch fic cover all of that don’t they??

45. Do you read fanfiction about Anime?

No, I’m claiming generational age gap ... I’ve never really got into Anime

46. If you could imagine the perfect fic, what would it be like?

The one yet to be written ... don’t know who the author is yet

47. If you had to introduce someone to fanfiction with a few fics, which would you suggest?

For TenInch Fic ... Providential Contingency by @studio-forty-two and tennantmeister ... they created the genre with this story ... I know I talked them into it ;)

For DW ... blimey there are just so many ... take a pick of any of the ones I’ve recc’d above

48. Have you ever read a fic containing character death?

Yep, and written one ... and writing another ... shhhhh it’s taking a while to write it and this time I’m not going to publish it until I’ve finished it

49. Do you have an AO3/Fanfiction.net/LiveJournal page? Link it.

This is me on AO3

50. What sites do you typically use to read on?

I started reading on Teaspoon but now I read almost exclusively on AO3 ... I like being able to leave kudos and get notifications of responses to comments :)

Hi there. I'm new to tumblr and would love some recommendations on more Billie blogs, TenRose blogs, David blogs, hannah hardy blogs, and DavidxBillie blogs. Please and Thank You. <3

Hey welcome welcome welcome dear! I’d love to share some blog recs! Some may appear more than once where applicable. 

About blogs on these lists, to my best knowledge:

Friendly/positive, made positive contributions, have been inclusive/supportive of everyone in the fandom 

Safe for lgbtqia/queer folk of every orientation and identity

They have least a couple original content and/or news/reviews/recs/prompts of original content of Ten/Rose, David Tennant, and/or Billie Piper (Some celeb blogs on these lists are reblogged content as well but good to follow for updates and/or excellent archiving :) 

Use sourcing where applicable, and/or don’t support reposting

Many are multifandom. Some may keep most or all of their content on other sites like AO3 or deviantart, and some may no longer be active in the fandom but - in theory - still include access to their content.

There are many more great blogs than those below. :) Plenty to discover! This is my personal criteria, and anyone not on this list is either one I haven’t discovered or was intentionally omitted.

Stranger Than Fiction (hope you feel better soon!)

Thank you! Oohh..I forgot about that movie. I’ll have to watch it again.

tortoiseoffury replied to your post “I’m sick. What movies do you all watch to feel better?”

Knight and day

That’s a great one too. Great action and comedy.

wecanseethemadness replied to your post “I’m sick. What movies do you all watch to feel better?”

13 going on 30 and Miss Congeniality always make me feel better; fairytales like 3 Wishes for Cinderella, The Road to Eldorado. Lord of the Rings always works, too. Get well soon!

Miss Congeniality is great and The Road to Eldorado. LOTR isn’t a sick movie for me so much, I take it too seriously. LOL. I’ve never heard of 3 Wishes for Cinderella. I’m going to look it up.

mythologicalmango replied to your post “I’m sick. What movies do you all watch to feel better?”

miss pettigrew lives for a day.

Only saw it once but I remember liking it. I’ll have to watch it again.

thedistortedmirror replied to your post “I’m sick. What movies do you all watch to feel better?”

The Princess Bride is my go to sick movie.

How could I forget to add The Princess Bride? It’s on Netflix again too so that’s convenient. 

[rexalexander-deactivated]

I'm here. Don't give up. I want to read your new fic.

@thedistortedmirror I’ll email it to you if it ever gets written

I was tagged by the ever wonderful @pipertennant - Moony what are you doing to me ... okay 11 facts I can do this ... I’m sure I can

I have travelled to 18 countries and want to travel to more ... and go back to a few of them too

I have moved house 28 times and currently looking at places for move number 29

I’m an army brat thus the travel bug :)

I have been married twice ... and divorced twice ... it’s a “special” feeling when you have to clarify which ex-husband you’re bashing

I have competed in ballroom and latin dancing ... cuban salsa and argentine tango are favourites

I have lupus (SLE) ... which I say makes me a werewolf :)

Russell T Davies once asked me to give him a job

Despite not being able to code a single thing I have post graduate qualifications in information technology and information systems

I am a qualified librarian

erm ... thinking thinking ... oranges and anything orangey gives me migraines ... I’ve not had OJ in 20 years and I still miss it

um um um ... really scraping the barrel here ... ooh I know ... I HATE cucumbers ... evil things that should be scourged from the face of the earth

[perfectlyrose]

:DD ♥

wheee i’m excited about it! :)) (and same on the WIP front...*stares at all the partially started fics that i owe people*)

:DD i’m actually really excited about this. it has so much potential and i’m just hoping i do the idea justice!

OMG YES!

[eccleston]

thedistortedmirror replied to your post: heartbreakingtennant replied to your p...

You have far more hope than I do. I didn’t even finish series 8 cause I couldn’t stomach it. I, sadly, am not even giving series 9 a chance.

I don’t blame your for giving up on series 8. It was not good. I’m going to try series 9 but I’m promising myself that if I don’t like it then I’m going to give it up. I just don’t have the time to watch something I really don’t enjoy when there’s so much better tv out there.

[dimensionhoppingrose]

OMG yes! Rose just completely loses it after that time in the vortex, completely insane. Upon the Master saving her, she gets in and just knows that he's done something to her Doctor. And she'll protect the shit out of her Doctor so she just chucks him out the door into the vortex, because hell she doesn't care anymore. Anyone gets in her way or threatens the Doctor and she'll just make sure they don't hurt anyone ever again. Like I see her twisted good side in this, but it could go bad too.

Um...it’s really nothing to do with protecting the Doctor, actually. More like “nobody gets to kill the Doctor but me.”

Talk about Dark!Rose with me?
