Yuletide is in fact a great thing! Aside from anything else, it motivates me to write stuff, *and* you get presents. I would strongly encourage all fannish people who write to get involved (except apparently my sister, who finds deciding what she wants to request stressful).

The thing about Doctor Who and me is that the parts of the show I imprinted on and got invested in no longer seem to be there, and also I am heartily sick of matronly dominatrices... I really enjoyed Day of the Doctor too - it wasn't perfect, but it was thoroughly enjoyable, which is a lot more than I can say for poor Capaldi's season (not to say it didn't have its moments, but it was just so frustrating to see it take good ideas and run them into a hole).
