Back in 2005 I was on a scripts craze, probably because I had been TVless for awhile, but that's another story...
I'd been frequenting this site called simplyscripts.com When I got a TV and started watching Doctor Who I decided to contribute to the site because of all the joy it had brought me (blah, blah, translation: I was bored). So I transcribed Rose. And I will never again transcribe anything because it is bloody hard work.
Reason I'm going on about this (yes this story does have a point) is because someone emailed me the other day to say how much help my transcription had been in translation that episode into Turkish (very random, very say what? TURKISH?) and they wanted to know if I had more scripts, so I directed them to the Doctor Who transcripts project on live journal.
What does that have to do with fan fic? Absolutely nothing. This is still all just prelude, because that email reminded me of another email I got when I first posted Rose. It was this really weird fanfic (if you can call it that). I just checked and I still have the email (got to love gmail).
Now this thing is STRANGE the guy writing it admits to having never seen an episode of Doctor Who. He based Rose off Billie Piper and has her randomly singing and quoting pop songs. I don't know what he based the Doctor off of, and he somehow found some real fanwankish information for his daleks but got it mixed up with cybermen or something. I don't know.
It is just plain weird.
The guy also wrote something along the lines of "share it with whoever you want" in the email, and I was wondering. Does anyone want to see it? It is one of the oddest things... even odder now that I'm better aquainted with the show.
