Yep, another victim of the cake meme.
Who fan since 1987, online Who fan since 1993, most of that time on Usenet. 'My' Doctors are the Second and Seventh, but all of them have been splendid chaps so far. I've been known to perpetrate silly fanfic now and again.

Welcome aboard! That cake seems to have attracted a lot of people, doesn't it? We may have to bake some more... ;D
With you on Two and Seven - Seven has been "my" Doctor since I watched him as a kid back in the late 80s - I think I was lucky to see him at just the right age. I dabble in the old fanfic too, as you may have seen.
Anyway, glad to see you here, and I hope you make yourself at home; friendly people, nice place.

Two and Seven are fine choices, among my tops as well. And welcome! It appears there's plenty of cake for all. Good folks here, jump on in!

Well, it's a good thing ten is tall it shall take us AGES to run out of cake (at least so far). Hiya, Johne, welcome to the forums, we're a small tightly-knit group that manages to be inclusive rather than exclusive, this is of course,due to the fact that each of us incredibly fabulous, dahlink!
I'm Merry and have somehow fallen behind in my hellos (which is more distressing than it may at first seem). As you seem to be getting the generic "I'm behind in my hellos" hello from everyone I shall try not to do the same.
My first Doctor was four and as such he looms larger than lifesize (hmm like the fine frenzy song) in my mind and memory and heart though I'm also fond of five, seven, and ten. As for companions I tend to like the mouthy stand on their own feet type .
I'm sorry (im so sorry) I seem to have failed at the non-generic introduction, at any rate I'm Merry and I do hope the rest of our conversations will speak for me rather better than this one has/

Hello! I'd introduce myself, but I think by this time it would be a tad redundant. Is it too much to call myself your evil genius? (Just desperately trying to take some credit for Macbeth and The Haunted Hotel and things that really have nothing to do with me).  The power of the cake knows no bounds. Of course, if we don't in return get these good people trapped in Nameless, well... ;D |

'Evil genius' may not be too far from the truth. If you hadn't made Storytime look easy I wouldn't have tried to write one, and then where would we be?

All right, then, Lost Spook, aka Evil Genius. I can live with that. ;D What do you mean, made it look easy? If you do Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, narrated by the Simm Master, starring Peri and seven irate Doctors, it *is* easy!! :lol: (Pride and Prejudice, on the other hand, was a bad idea, it has to be said.) Macbeth, though! :lol: |

Now fairy tales do have some possibilities - Something along the lines of Rumplestiltskin comes to mind with Romana's rather lengthy name and something high-tech that spins straw into gold...

Wait, the cake is a meme now? As in, has escaped the boundaries of our eccentric corner of proboards and is being written about by others???
ALL SHALL BOW BEFORE THE POWER OF THE CAKE!!!
ahem,
I'm Clocket, as you may guess from that name hovering over my icon. I'm also currently on crudly dial-up so you won't be seeing much of me of the next few days. Probably. I've a bit of an addiction to the DbyA. There should be a group...

Though what I wrote won't make a jot of sense unless you have detailed knowledge of incomplete alt.drwho.creative round-robins from years ago. What I wrote: groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.drwho.creative/msg/f3d804bd95a74651Dark Carnival, which is what this fic is set in, can be found at ttr.roundrobins.info/003/ |

Yes, the cake will continue to spread across the universe...and in time, the cake will become slices, and the slices will become crumbs, and the crumbs will become...nothing...
As someone or other once said...

Now fairy tales do have some possibilities - Something along the lines of Rumplestiltskin comes to mind with Romana's rather lengthy name and something high-tech that spins straw into gold... Johne! Another obvious one we missed!  And, for that matter, what happened to Sleeping Beauty? Not that I'm halfway through writing Hansel and Gretel or anything *whistles*. (It was going at a pace and then suddenly Izzy and Jamie got written into the story... and I don't think it's going to end like it's supposed to.) Primsong, it's (sadly?) not that sensible. (Love the idea, tho' - I like playing around with fairy tales generally). It's Storytime at the Nameless nursery where 3 year old versions of DW characters get told stories that, this being outside reality, are then forcibly acted out by the actual Doctor Who characters. Who object and try to alter the story. Usually. See here for the collected insanity of adwc: www.ttrarchive.com/storytime.htmlThis can end unexpectedly, when people call for a divorce at the end, Four refuses to Say Lines (he's only paid to die), Cinders runs off with Buttons and there ARE detectives in Macbeth, no matter what Turlough learned at school. Some of the storytellers have got ambitious - we've had Sherlock Holmes, Jane Austen, Shakespeare, the Mabinogion and now Wilkie Collins ( ;D). As long as there are Silly People and gruesome deaths, the little ones are happy (well, except for Victoria, who likes happy endings and prefers it when the horsies don't get killed). |

I read this the other evening and wondered what it was tying into. I should have realised, but I've only seen the last couple of installments (which were pretty impressive). I'll go and try reading it again some time when I'm awake, because I was too busy worrying about what I obviously didn't know at the time.  |

And, for that matter, what happened to Sleeping Beauty? You'll have to wait until after I've got to the end of The Haunted Hotel. |
