Opening ff.net after like 6 years is such a nostalgic experience. Peak whouffle & whouffaldi quality works. Some writers migrated to AO3, others got lost like tears in the rain. But I'll never be over c1raoswa1d, e1evenc1ara, frombluetored and Dveleniet stories.
Happy, happy, happiest of birthdays! I hope that your ...*insert year number here* is a fabulous one and that 2015 holds many wonderful things for you! We are so very lucky to have you in this fandom - you deserve ALL the best. :) - DV
Hee! Thank you so much! <3

Bare with me (perhaps bear is the better form -- as in bear wrestling which this reminds me of); I'm total pants at trying to manage replies.

Phew! There's a hazard to writing characters with identity and personal boundary issues.
In that example, showing the reaction of Person B to Person A's extreme interference is telling. An example would be of Missy reveling in the play of emotions across Twelve's face and his change in posture as she makes a naughty comment or three. It's still purely out of Missy's POV, yet through her catching sight of the sweat on his lip, dilation of his pupils, turn of his lip, etc, the reader can infer exactly what he's thinking without being told as much through his own thoughts.
IMO, it's fantastically harder to try and show both sides when all characters involved play things close to the vest or aren't particularly emotive. It becomes more inflection of whatever character you've chosen as the vehicle for the narrative.
dveleniet replied to your post “PSA”
omg, yes, I know! I actually think it's VERY difficult to pull off well, and have seen maybe one author do it (switching within a chapter). Otherwise, I have the EXACT reaction. :-/
I find it works best for comedy and satire where things can be saturated with metaphor and simile without coming off as schizophrenic. You get that extreme bird's eye view as a reader, but the chess pieces are still moved one at a time instead of tossed in a bingo ball roller. I think I may have seen it in one or two non-humorous works, and it reminded me of a relay race with how it was turned -- the baton was clearly and cleanly passed and quite a few paragraphs passed before it was handed off again.
It's a bit like watching a tennis match when it's constant back and forth, although with five balls in play and an automatic serving machine lobbing them out in random directions every twenty seconds. The only reaction is to head scratch then John McEnroe the racquet in frustration. :D
dveleniet replied to your video “Okay 3, 2, 1 — let’s jam! TARDIS! I’ve needed wanted to spoof this...”
that was AMAZING. omg, your videos take me back to things - I felt like I was watching an old school Bond opening. brilliantly done! :)
*blush* Thank you kindly! It needs a few more pokes, but it's mostly there.
And RE: Bond opening... Oh just great, you've given me an IDEA and I think I have the perfect scene in mind (assuming I can figure out the gun barrel bit)! :D
dveleniet replied to your post “I’d like to have a moment of silence for my coffee pot who died today...”
*appropriately solemn* UGH. THE WORST. but also - bahahaha for the gif. Waaaaaaash :D :(
It's pretty much what I said to it, just with more expletives. :D
I'm hoping it's just a clogged intake and it's smart enough to know not to work if it thinks there isn't any water -- it powers on, but that's it. It makes me a sad panda -- it's less than a year old!
dveleniet replied to your post “I keep checking my email for new chapter alerts and crying fanfic...”
awwwww *hugs* grad school SUCKS. and no one ever tells you that till you're in it. but just sent my unlikely DW fic to my beta AS WELL AS...untouchable ch 7. :-p
I READ THE UNLIKELY AND LOVED
I'm now foaming at the mouth for Untouchable 7 *insert foamy mouth pic here*
dveleniet replied to your post: +
reeeeally? awww…I cried a bunch. I mean - that was it. :( seems like no more Clara, right? :(
I felt strong emotion, but no tears. I think I just kept waiting for something that didn't happen. Not something I knew would happen or anything like a spoiler, just... something.
And IDK, they ended on a lie and Santa showed up all BITCH NO THAT AIN'T IT so they're either going to make up at Christmas and keep going, or make up at Christmas and have a better goodbye.
I'm hoping for the former but the latter is also likely
dveleniet replied to your post “any REALLY steamy twelve/clara fics?:D”
d'awwww *blushes* I made the REALLY steamy category? thanks! :-p
hey man, I'm easy lol
