Huh.

Turn my back on fandom for just a few hours (Because I had to actually, you know, study and all), and the shit manages to hit the fan. Multiple times.

Firstly, on the plagiarism fiasco: Apparently it wasn't just Cassie Claire. If ever a post was going to cause wank, this'd be it.

Meanwhile, over in the Doctor Who fandom, we have some interesting news about S3, as well as Doctor and Martha pics.

And naturally, the photos have been causing chaos. Of many kinds (just take a look around, and you'll see), but most notably, the declaration of Martha as "a chavvy whore". To which I respond: Bitch, please.

Oh, and apparently if you wear dark trousers and shoes, you are a "clone of Rose".


Personally, I really like Martha's outfit - the hair is rather interesting, and I love the jacket. The suit is a bit less of a nice surprise, but it has grown on me a bit. So not hate, but I'll wait and see about it.


Oh, and we have some David/Billie RPF which is giving me teh lulz.

Oh, fandom...

ETA: To the people who have been in the fandom longer than me. Exactly how many late 20th century companions did the Doctor have in a row? Please post your reponses to everyone whining about having a saying they can't have two 21st century companions in a row.

ETA2: Ah, the sweet taste of sanity.

Exactly how many late 20th century companions did the Doctor have in a row?

Susan, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Steven, Dodo, Ben, Polly, Jamie, Victoria, Zoe, Liz, Jo, Sarah, Harry, Leela, Romana, Adric, Nyssa, Tegan, Turlough, Peri, Mel, Ace, Grace, Rose.

I will make note of this next time people starting bitching about Martha being too similar to Rose because she looks 21st century.

Yeah, she's a medical student in her 20s... she's exactly like Rose omg!!!

Apparently it's the dark trousers and shoes that amke her a Rose clone.

There's a strong similarity. I mean, what with Rose being a black woman in her early twenties.

And it sounds even better if you point out that he hasn't had a non-contemporary or non-human companion since he was Peter Davison.

Unless you count Jack, who isn't in your list. ;)

I agree with them in spirit though, I would like a non-contemporary and/or non-human companion--but Martha looks good to me.

I would like non-contemporary or non-human but it'd probably have to be as a third companion since they'd want to keep doing contemporary pop culture references, which annoys the shit out of me in the audios and novels (*why* would Ace immediately think of Radiohead rather than The Smiths? Or Fitz say that something looks like Star Trek, a show that wasn't created till 3 years after he left Earth?)

Aye, something a bit different would be interesting, but you can hardly hold it against her, the poor girl.
