A Tag Meme Thing

I was tagged by @raywritesthings​. Your answers were brilliant and sadly  mine will seem quite mundane in comparison. Anyway…

Author Name: Basmathgirl, basmathgirl or bas_math_girl, depending where you  look. Or just call me BMG - that’ll do.

Fandom You Write For: Mainly Doctor Who, with the odd Tatennant crossover, although I did write a couple of fluffy Broadchurch fics once.  If you want to see absolutely everything I’ve written, go to my LJ fanfiction master list 

Most Popular One-Shot: Going by AO3’s stats, it  is Dying To Love You,  which is a simple shag or die tale of having to save Donna dying from the metacrisis.  

Most Popular Multi-Chapter Story: By hits this is apparently Donna’s Human Nature with Donna replacing Martha during the episodes Human Nature and The Family of  Blood; but the story that got the most kudos is Around The Mulberry Bush where I yet again bring the Metacrisis Doctor back from the alternate universe  and give him to Donna, in teenage form.

People just love Human Nature rewrites, it seems, so I struck lucky  with that idea. You’d have never known the original prompt was Donna being interested  in a cane-wielding Doctor, would you. 

Bondage is not my genre…

Favourite Story You Wrote: I don’t to tend play  favourites, and that even works with my writing results. Obviously, some mean  a lot to me, because of how they helped me cope with certain situations. One such  fic is Back In The Day which allowed me to hide within childhood memories of  London for a while when I was in mourning. More recently, I loved writing The Mail Order Bride  because the idea for that had been festering for a number of years.

Story You Were Nervous to Post: Besides my first ever piece  of fanfiction? Erm, it was my first attempt to write smut. A little porn battle tale I was challenged to write by my old friend MssDoctorDonna, called Locked  In A Cupboard.  Up until then I’d done nothing but fluff.  

Other than that, there is a fic that I’ve never dared post on whofic, called The Girl From Beyond. Let’s just say that I’ve had problems with  certain shippers on my back in the past and I don’t want to invite it again.

How Do You Choose Your Titles: I just pick them out of thin air, as a rule. The only time I tried harder was when I wrote an angsty Campell/Donna fic and used a line from Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. I’ve had other authors ask me for title ideas, and I’ve then presented them with a  possible list for them to choose from. Yes, I really don’t lose sleep over it, if I’m honest; and love to add in a pun if I can think of one.

How Many of Your Stories Are:

·  Complete: 451 out of 455

·  In-Progress: 4 out of 455 (there’s  an old Fifty Shades of Grey parody that I’m longing to finish)

·  Coming  Soon: 37 works in progress on my hard drive and loads more on my old one  (easily 100+). But out of all that, about 7 will definitely see the light of  day.

Upcoming Story You’re Most Excited to Write: Every new story, I fall in love with the characters again. It’s wonderful! Anyway, I have a sort of fix-it story I can’t wait to properly write, called Ten Steps To Heaven.  

Do You Accept Prompts: Yes, I do. Alas, sometimes inspiration just doesn’t hit, despite me wanting it to, or putting in a load of research to help a story along; and that’s very disappointing to let people down. I’ve  learnt over the years to listen to my muse and write down what it insists I write,  otherwise I’ll never hear the end of it (I resisted writing Lucy In The Sky  for weeks, but my muse kept bombarding me with it during migraines until I gave  in to avoid the pain).   All I can do is assure people that I actually do try to write using their prompts and say I’m  sorry for failing to provide the end result.

Tag Game: Shipping Edition

I was tagged by @breval. Thank you so much, love! I’d better warn you now that these answers will probably be a bit ‘same’y

First ship you ever read fic for: first, I have to explain that I was rather late to the ‘reading fanfic’ party, in that I never knew it existed until it was mentioned on “The Friday Night Project”. My son found me some Doctor Who Doctor/Donna fic on FanFiction.Net soon after. *shrugs* I may have been late but I HAVE been consistent.

First ship you ever wrote fic for: I never wrote any fanfiction until about a year or so after I discovered it existed. In fact, I hadn’t written any fiction since I’d finished my O levels, unless you count making up exam or worksheet questions. Anyway, it was for Doctor/Donna. [For anyone not in the know, this pattern will remain strong throughout my answers]

Ship you write the most now: Tenth Doctor/Donna Noble. Failing that, it’ll have a definite Tatennant vibe.

Ship you read the most now: admittedly I’ve dabbled with reading some Harry Potter (Snape/Trelawney in particular), Star Trek (Janeway/Chakotay) and Broadchurch (Hardy/Miller) fanfiction but I tend to stick to Doctor/Donna or Tatennant fics.

Newest ship: erm. Can Twissy be counted as a new ship instead of a branch of the Doctor/Master one? If so, then that’s the latest one. 

Rare ship you want to (sorry, I changed that from “wanna” because that English qualification has to earn its keep) read more of: well, Doctor/Donna is still pretty rare, in my experience; but I do like to seek out some Tencest (i.e. Tenth/Metacrisis Doctor) every now and then.   

Your taboo ship: sorry, shipping a teenage girl with a man old enough to be her father not only makes me gag, it utterly freaks me out. And I don’t care for polygamy either.

They never met in canon ship: something like Peter Carlisle/Donna Noble, Peter Vincent/Donna Noble, or when offered, some DCI Gene Hunt/Donna Noble gladdens my heart. Also, I’ve read some very nice fics with the Master/Metacrisis Doctor, and Master/Peter Carlisle.

Your unexpected ship: I was surprised how much I adored Jack Harkness/Metacrisis Doctor, but I was won over instantly, thanks to @whovianfloozy; who incidentally put me onto Fr. Marcus/Fr. Tomas (from ”The Exorcist”) too.

The ship you always forget to give love to: I suppose the Sherlock ones. Johnlock and Molly/Sherlock,

Ship your OC with a canon character: not sure I have an OC. The nearest thing I have to an OC is my young version of the Metacrisis Doctor.

A ship you’re embarrassed to ship: I did start reading some Brendan Block/Jenny fics, but ended up feeling guilty that I enjoyed them so much.

Your most romantic ship: like beauty, romance is in the eye of the beholder/author.

Your most tragic ship: none of the ships I write ever happened, so they’re all tragic to a certain extent. However, Donna’s demise is a huge obstacle to overcome, in all sorts of ways.

A ship you want more content for: is it wrong to want even more Doctor/Donna? If everything else had to disappear, I’d be happy to be left with them.

I tag: @raywritesthings, @cptscarlett, @helloprilly15, @shivver13, @lady-macgyver, @imnotacommittee, @uglywettiewrites, @cannibalilly, @catvampcrazines and @ageless-aislynn

 And I’d better hurry up and post this before the tumblr jobsworths shut my blog down because I posted some bare shoulders. Oh the horror....

I don't know whether to laugh or run and hide!!! It's like he's one step away from saying "it puts the lotion on or it gets the hose!" LOL

It’s definitely a borderline experience that makes you want to lock him in his cloakroom cubbyhole (for a variety of reasons).... LOL

Admittedly, it appears they used the same figure and repackaged it differently in different sets, but here's a few links I found:  http://cosmictoys.co.uk/doctor-who-series-4-donna-noble---action-figure-1021-p.aspaction  https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-The-Companions-Set/dp/B001LMY2RI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1530999105&sr=8-2&keywords=donna+noble+action+figure  https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Who-Four-Action-Figure/dp/B00MYZQUU8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1530999105&sr=8-4&keywords=donna+noble+action+figure    And here it appears that Funko has released a minature Donna Noble as a part of this blind box set...   https://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Partners-Titans-Random-Mini-Figure/dp/B0793C6ZQZ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1530999105&sr=8-3&keywords=donna+noble+action+figure   Oh, I apologize, that's not Funko, it's Titan

cptscarlett replied to your post “mirthfulwoman replied to your post “mirthfulwoman replied to your...”

I understand the theory, however, there are <i>-some- Donna Noble figurines out there. A couple action figure varieties, and Titan made a small 3" version of her for their Partners in Crime series (which I'm having a hard time finding, even on ebay) If she wasn't going to sign away her image, wouldn't she have done so across the board? </i>

You found more than one type of Donna Noble figure?! *tries not to whine* Now that is not fair, as I’ve only ever seen the 5″ one with her “Fires of Pompeii” coat. 

Instead, I’ve done my best to collect stickers, colouring books, magnets, stamps, and anything else with her image.

cptscarlett replied to your post “I can assure you that Brussels sprouts have not gotten any less bitter...”

I've only ever made Brussell Sprouts that were appealing by using balsamic vinegar, water, and a bit of sugar. Sauteeing them with that. But even then, they aren't my favorite.

I must admit that I’ve never tried sautéing them; although the thought of doing a version of bubble and squeak did. Might be the way forward. Who knows? Certainly worth trying though.
