Posted with permission, thank you!

The term romantic friendship refers to both very close but non-sexual relationship and at times physical relationship between friends, often involving a degree of physical closeness beyond that which is common in modern Western societies, and may include for example holding hands, cuddling, kissing, and sharing a bed.

Stories should be focused on romantic friendship and must be at least 7,000 words in length.

I started reading Demon Song by Cat Adams today, and 18 pages in I'm chuckling at this:

But she always managed to find handbags that resemble TARDISes in their ability to hold more things than they should.

I thought it was worth sharing. ^_^

26th-May-2012 12:24 pm - Towel Day!
Nvr4ng
It was a hoopy one in Moscow. There were less than ten of us DNA fans but we had fun enough for 42! We carried towels (of course) and wished everyone we met a happy Towel Day (and we made a niiiiiicey walk around the city, 4 hours long it was; extra hoopiness for May 25th being the last school day, so there were a plenty of FREE PEOPLE who are not at school anymore and not yet at a university). Most people kept a very straight face when we greeted them; some, on the contrary, looked as if they saw something terribly illegal and unacceptable. But some people smiled, and some answered, "Thanks", and some even answered, "Thanks, have a happy day too", and some were curious enough to ask about Towel Day!
We also were asking random people if they had a spare space suit, or a spare babel fish, or if they could show us the way to Magratea. One man gave us some chocolate and another one gave us a banana! And we did get a space suit after all! Well, a part of it. Well, one of the ex-school-boys gave us the wrapping from his ex-bouquet of flowers (which he just tore apart in a joyful way). So we got the space helmet!
And once we asked a taxist about Magratea. He replied, "Yea, how much will you pay?".
Apparently, the Guide was right suggesting a taxi job for aliens... heh heh.

25th-May-2012 12:31 pm - Doctor Who Network wallpaper
pooh
Well the Doctor Who network is as done as it's going to get. And while I'm deciding what to do with getting it onto a t-shirt I thought some people might enjoy a new wallpaper for their computer. Below is the sample. Below that are links to the sizes I created.

dw-wallpaper-small

1024 x 768

1440 x 900

1280 x 1024

1600 x 1200

I hope to soon figure out what to do with this in regards to getting a t-shirt made. Some of the online sites are looking more and more like a popularity contest rather than exercises in good design. Many designers rally their existing fanbase to vote for their design so it will get printed. I don't really have a fanbase for my artwork to rally. So it might not have a chance to make it to fruition.

But if someone out there has an idea I'm willing to listen...

Thanks, and enjoy the wallpaper.

ETA: Wow, almost 100 downloads. Let me know how you like it...

Doctor who trust me by kirathaune
Check out today's Monty comic. For those who don't know, Monty is a geeky type guy who is friends with a professor, whom he does call 'Doc' who is a time traveller. This particular story arc they went back to the Titanic. I've never felt the artist for this strip was deliberately aping Doctor Who with this character, but in this strip, look at the coat the 'Doc' is wearing, and look at the pose in which he was drawn.

Do you see any similarities, or is it just me?

The journey can be followed live via the BBC News website, starting from around 6.25am (0525 GMT). The route begins in Cardiff Bay and goes through Bute Place and James Street on its way towards Penarth.

Karen Gillan is a fan of the show Community, particularly of Inspector Spacetime, and has made an (unofficial) bid to appear on the show:

A mini-episode written by schoolchildren for the Script to Screen competition will be broadcast tommorrow during Blue Peter at 5:45pm on CBBC and repeated on Friday at 4:30pm on BBC One.
The previous competition resulted in the mini-episode Death is the Only Answer, which can be seen here.

The Doctor's Wife beat off competition from Hugo and Midnight in Paris at the Nebula Awards to win the the Ray Bradbury for Outstanding Dramatic Presentation. Neil Gaiman picked up the award and "thanked everyone", including Verity Lambert, Sydney Newman and Steven Moffat.

Moffat won a Writing BAFTA for Sherlock and will be awarded with a Special BAFTA next Sunday for his outstanding creative writing contribution to television, the Dennis Potter Award, which RTD also got in 2006. Steven Moffat was interviewed about his career here.

Voting is now open for the TV Choice Awards. Doctor Who is nominated for Best Family Drama, Matt Smith for Best Actor, Karen Gillan for best actress, and Torchwood: Miracle Day for Best Drama Series.

Here's a video of Matt Smith doing motion capture for The Eternity Clock, now available to download on Playstation Network on Playstation 3.  Here's the launch trailer:

Here in Japan, people write random English words on t-shirts. No one has any idea what's they say; they just think it looks cool.

The other day, I saw a little kid wearing a t-shirt that said, "BANG THE DRUMS FOUR TIMES."

I was rather amused.

I'm sure the Whovians here will appreciate this one. This happened yesterday.

I was on my way to a car show with my car.  Yes, this is my actual car. I bought it 11 years and 3 days ago because of the third Doctor's car having made such an impression on me when I was young. Currently, I'm working on putting it back together after a restoration, so things aren't all like I want them to be yet. Roof and carpeting still need finishing, along with countless other minor things and a few bugs to work out.

About half way there, the upper panel of the back seat comes unscrewed due to wind, vibration and my dad's insistance that "it's not going anywhere". I couldn't continue with it loose, because when I get to the highway, it might have caught in the wind and sailed out at the higher speeds. I find a good side road to pull over on, reach under the lower portion of the rear seat where I keep my toolbox and .... nothing. no tools! They had probably been taken out a week previously during a repar session. Even if I had my tool set with me, my usual screwdriver wouldn't have fit into the rear compartment.

I don't usually carry it with me in the car, but that day something told me to take my 11th Doctor sonic screwdriver. It's the one that pulls in half to reveal screwdriver bits. I fixed my car seat with the "sonic" screwdriver and continued on my way. My uncle (the one responsible for getting me hooked on the show in the first place) got a huge kick out of it. You can see the tight space I needed to get into in the pic.
