Hurrah!

My first rec is up at crack_van!

The very first Doctor Who fic I added to my Links List. God, that seems like an age ago - when all we knew about Ten was "new teeth" and I was getting into flame wars with irrational Ten-haters. Almost a year ago now. Weird.

What else has been going on in the universe? The latest from Charlotte had a cameo from a mouse with some serious ethics issues, and it looks like there will be more to come in that saga.

My Creative Writing tute was cancelled today, because the Tutor was sick. Don't know when we'll catch that one up...

Oh, and there was a guy on my tram this morning with a LiveJournal t-shirt.

ETA: Oh, and something I said on otf_w got iconised.

Also, this Friday is the Sugar Ball. Now, though the official theme is "Darkness and Light", pretty much costume-wise you can wear anything at all sci-fi or fantasy. Any ideas of something I could go as (with a quick visit to Savers or similar)?

Coincidentally, this was also one of the first Doctor Who fanfics I've ever read. Great rec.

Why don't you go as a Sith Lord to the ball? You'd only need a black cloak and a fake lightsaber. And you could babble about the Dark Side of the Force all the time!

It seems to have caught a lot of new to fandom people in it's time.

But then I'd need a cloak, which is not something easy to find at an op-shop.

Is there a costume agency or second-hand shop somewhere in the vicinity? Occasionally, some would-be Jedi dumps their Halloween costume, and you might be lucky in that respect.

Costume stores are expensive, generally. And op-shop = second hand store.

Also, Halloween isn't a big thing in Australia, with the exception of advertising.
