Adora upon Avon

Karolina, 27 years old, I'm a dreamer, a lover of fiction and completely addicted to reading Shakespeare, fanfiction and watching TV series. What brought me here in the first place was my obsession with Doctor Who. Rose and The Doctor are my ultimate OTP, it's practically the air I breathe (although I also take great pleasure in the idea of Roselock). I occassionally have a go at creating fanart, however, my talent lies mostly in obsessing over fictional characters and reblogging random...stuff. Do feel free to send me a message if you'd like to chat or ask a question!

Amour, Toux et Fumée  (1/1)

This fanfic has been in the works for far, far longer than it should have been. I actually started it back in 2013, wrote about a thousand words, got stuck and promptly forgot about it. I only stumbled across it again a few months back when I got my old stationary computer going again (it’s been living in a box ever since I moved out my parents’ place – I made do with my laptop XD), and I thought…oh, why not finish it? It wasn’t much left to write anyway.

Famous last words right there.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.

A very special thank you to my friend Katarina who actually leaped in willingly to beta (and did a fantastic job too!) in spite of not being a Whovian. Thank you so much!

Amour, Toux et Fumée

Amour, toux et fumée en ne secret sont demeurée (“Love, smoke and cough are hard to hide”) – French proverb

Summary: Reinette Poisson left Versailles in order to dance across the stars with the Doctor. It didn’t end the way she thought it would. (Ten/Rose)

I feel like I’ve been nagging and wishing for years for my lovely Cherazor to start writing fanfics again, and here we are! Absolutely brilliant. I love this take on what would have happened if Reinette had indeed had the chance to tag along on the Tardis ride.

So it’s my birthday today, and I had a Harry Potter-themed party with my friends. Look at this amazing cake my friend Katarina baked for me - I’m so happy! <3

Christmas time for Doctor Who fans is a slightly emotionally distressing and generally confusing time of year. The Doctor usually travels on these particular adventures alone. Twice now, he’s met his future companion in a Christmas episode, but this year took a different perspective and instead teamed the Doctor up with River Song.

My opinion on this matter is well documented, and now that we finally have the episode to actually draw on, I can confirm that my opinion goes unchanged. Seriously, is the nightmare over?!

The major function of the episode was actually much deeper. People will find all kinds of joy in the conclusion to River’s story. The Doctor and River finally go to Dallirium to see the singing towers. But there was an underlying point throughout the episode that has been a major issue with Steven Moffat’s version of Doctor Who. And that’s why I don’t understand why people like River so much.

Reblogging because of reasons. 

[adorauponavon]

I need more AlecxRose fics. But I also desperately want more Roselock.

Then again...I really, really want to read NinexRose.

Oh heck, give me any fictional David/Billie pairing. Wait, did I say fictional? I don’t mind good RPF. 

(Really in the mood for something AlecxRose, though)

...See my problem?

Things I love about fanfiction:

-When I am not quite through with the story, but the book is over- there is fanfiction.

-When I am desperate for some mushy gushy fluffy stuff- there is fanfiction

-When I want a good story, but reading a new book would mean I have to introduce myself to new characters I may not like- there is fanfiction

-When I want smut, between my OTP- there is fanfiction

-And when I’ve read and re-read fanfiction, I get to come to Tumblr and meet some of those fabulous authors.

Thank you fanfiction writers! You fill a void that no one else can.

Awesome expressions & cute moments from the David Tennant/Billie Piper panel at Wizard World Comic Con - Philadelphia

[adorauponavon]

I wish they'd get married already. Oh wait...

[adorauponavon]

So I met, talked to, laughed with and hugged David Tennant on Thursday. ... A friend and I got tickets to the taping of Bring the noise. We flew from Sweden to see him. It was worth every penny. Seriously guys, if you ever have the chance to fulfill your dreams, just do it. Meeting David was by far the best experience in my life. My 7 year old son, who couldn't come with us, asked me if I could have David sign his DW encyclopedia. I told him that the chances were very slim. However... I got the chance to go down from my seat in the audience, and he so graciously granted my son's wish. He asked me sveral times how to spell his name, saying that it was important to him "to get it right"... I explained that he was mine and my son's favorite Doctor. I csn vouch for the fact that David Tennant is the most brilliant, fantastic, generous and all around genuine person. When I came back home on Friday, and related the whole experience to my son... He burst out crying and told me that he was "so happy for me that I got to meet David"... He is now drawing and writing a thank you card for David... We hope that he'll receive it. #bring the noise

Just been to the recording of ‘Bring the Noise’ - a new sky1 comedy/music show with Ricky Wilson from Kaiser Chiefs hosting and team captains Nicole Scherzinger and Tinie Tempah. 

Tonight’s guests were David Tennant, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan, actor/singer Martin Kemp and some other dude called Joel who I don’t know lol. It was a great experience but very hot and long! 

Highlights: 

Meeting @ktrosesworld ! :D 

Seeing David in his skin tight salmon/orange trousers + fave blazer with the red lapels. He also wore an elbow-length t-shirt (lol) which showed off his pecs nicely when he took his blazer off #fashionista 

David duetting with Ricky. Er. I’m not gonna spoil it for you but, um. You’re in for a treat. Involving a…costume. 

Watching David interact with a couple of audience members who were fans and dressed as him. He gave them hugs. Twas sweet. 

Watching David look at his phone whenever he was bored. 

A lot of things involved watching David’s bum, if I’m honest. We had SUCH a good angle. 

Nicole singing Something Stupid then being completely sweet bless her when she messed it up and felt unprofessional. 

David singing / ‘playing’ keyboard to a pet shop boys song.

Katherine taking DOWN the warm up guy who was kinda pervy with feminist jokes in the interval bits (as in, her jokes were feminist in tone, not jokes about feminists).

David singing backwards and his team guessing what it was (the games were…creative).

David talking about how very important his Madonna poster was to him as a 14yo. Ahem. 

David getting up close and personal with Katherine - for the purpose of a game, of course. 

Nicole talking about her underboob sweat. It was SO HOT in there. 

Omg the worst moment was when someone shouted out: ‘David is it true you’ve got a teninch?’ !!!!! WHY. thankfully he either didn’t hear or pretended not to. Gdi, can’t take dt fans anywhere blimey

I’ve run out of steam and need sleep cos have to get up at 6am gahh. I know other people from tumblr were there although sadly didn’t get to meet you but pls fill in the gaps with stuff I’ve forgotten! :) 

Apparently it’ll air 22nd Oct at 9pm ;)

[lauraxxtennant]

Home now! Remembered more stuff:

Nicole’s impression of Britney is AMAZING 

There’s this bit which I hope hope hope they keep in the show, because it was so funny but I have a feeling they might edit it out cos it went on a long time - David and Katherine, because they got something wrong, tried to convince Ricky and co that the songs Oops I Did It Again and Hit Me Baby One More Time were one and the same

David’s ‘dad-dancing?’ A sight to seeee 

Seriously he was dancing constantly, both in his seat and whenever he got up to participate in a round

Ricky was looking great too and was quite good at hosting, though he seemed very nervous and was flagging near the end bless him (also he is like, tinier than tinie tempah!) 

Katherine stood up for Nicole when creepy warm up guy and other guest Joel whatsit were, in Katherine’s words, objectifying her (which they were)

Great recap of the recording of David Tennant’s episode of Bring The Noise

[adorauponavon]

I have to agree with all that is stated here. Watching David Tennant was the experience of a lifetime. My friend and I (who was lucky enough to get 2 tickets) basically decided to go on a very spontaneous trip from Sweden to London just to see him. It was SO worth it. So uhm... yes. We were the lucky two from the audience who got to interact with David (after I got the presenters attention by stating our reason for being there) and David was absolutely glorious. He is even more brilliant in person. I got a hug and well, I wish I could say that I'll never shower again. My 8 year old son who absolutely loves the tenth doctor, asked me if I could get his autograph for him. He was diappointed that he couldn't come with me. So I took the chance and asked David if he would mind signing my son's DW book and he not only agreed, but wrote a lovely message and took consideration in spelling his name right. I'm telling you.. I got some pretty high Tennant fever after this night. I didn't know I could respect and admire this person more, but I certainly do.

I’ve seen exactly two GIFsets from the season premiere.

And WOW could Moffat be any more of a hack.

[adorauponavon]

Agreed.
