Oh Internets, don't you ever change

So it was, what, two days ago that I was declaring all my wishes for forthcoming Indiana Jones fic?

And that's not even taking into account the whole time-zone difference because being Australian means getting movie premiers first.

Anyhow, today I toddled over to the FanFiction.net Indiana Jones section (Yes, yes, I know, Pit of Voles), and already there is:

- An actually very good inter-movies backstory fic that was almost exactly what I was wanting.

- A decent post-movie fic.

- And what seems to be a Mary Sue inserted into the movie fic.

(Warning, all the above fics have great big SPOILERS for Indy 4)

And that's just one site! And two days!

...Oh, I love you Internets. Never change.

And speaking of wonders of the Internets, I've been doing a bit of Internets Plucky Girl Detective-ing (TM) in regards to some exceptionally interesting news on forthcoming Doctor Who books.

All I know thus far can be found here (at least until someone on the related Doctor Who forum thread takes the bait and supplies us with more official-type information).

Suffice it to say that this particular novel would be of great interest to fans of Martha Jones (or those intrigued by the Year That Never Was).

Honestly, the volume of my squee would have deafened dogs as well as people when I saw your LoM post on this book !!

I think there are a lot of people who'll be terribly excited about it.

My only hope that it is, you know, actually good.

I second that hope !

I confess I've not read anything else of his - although I'm waiting on the library fetching me a copy of Border Princes.

But then, he says it's going to be stories by various hands, so I guess it'll be up to more than just him to make it good...

Hmmm. It'll be interesting, if nothing else.

Yes it will ! Be interesting to see whether it can live up to the dozens of fanfics !
