Here is another bitty post! \0/ \0/ #moog makes excellent life decisions.
- third Spanish exam on Thursday! At this point my revision to fic-writing ratio is not so much in revision's favour, so that's tomorrow sorted out.
- I have watched this an obscene number of times, but my thoughts on River Song are for another time. The short version goes like this: SHE IS MY QUEEN.
- relatedly, I am so unbelievably beyond excited for new Who next weekend. IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME. ahgfjhsgdj Nine was my Doctor but Eleven is my favourite, if that makes any sense? Let's not go into how I was 14 and shipping Doctor/Rose like it was my job, but, you know, that happened. I AM JUST GLAD I DID NOT READ TWILIGHT AT THAT AGE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THAT. I am essentially a sham of a human.
- I always feel like a bit of a twat when I talk about fic I'm writing, but a couple of people have been nice enough to ask when the next part of BAKERY AU is coming up (YOU ARE ALL LOVELY), so: I am working on it right now! Part three is currently ~18,000 words and maybe half done. This would be less tricky if the half that was done was the first half, but it is not. ~excellent life-decisions~ There is an awful self-indulgent possibility that it might end up being twice as long again. I AM SO SORRY, IDEK WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON, NOTHING I HAVE EVER WRITTEN HAS BEEN THIS LONG BEFORE. ANYWAY, the short version of that nonsense is: I am working on it! It won't be up this week, but maybe the middle of next week? I am going a bit mad trying to keep it all in my head when I have to do other things, and not just bore everyone I talk to rigid by talking at them when I'm trying to work bits out.
- ALSO, if anyone speaks Portuguese, is there any chance I could run a few lines past you? I DON'T WANT TO BUTCHER THE FEW BITS OF THIS LANGUAGE I AM USING, AND I AM SLIGHTLY SIDE-EYING BABELFISH. ajhgfhsdgfj why do I do these things. I don't speak Portuguese and I know nothing about code.
- on a similar note, I am so beyond amazed by the lovely comments people have been leaving, and I want to reply to all of them, because ajshfjhsdgf. I have a few extra shifts in the next couple of weeks, and the exam this week, but I AM DEFINITELY ON THAT. <33333 A huge thank you to everyone who has commented, or read it at all - this would definitely not have been as fun to do without you all. I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR.
- also, I have a document on my computer saved as "bakery au cuts", which is, cunningly, where I shove all the bits I've cut out (yes, it is stupidly long and I have cut stuff out, I am that ridiculous, etc etc) in case I want to use them again later in the fic, or they just weren't working at all, and that is ~5000 words. HERE IS A BIT FROM THAT THAT WAS CUT FROM PART TWO, because I don't see it going back in the fic, and, well, I feel guilty about having a wip and not updating it for a while. FEEL MY GUILT.

Mark's good with his hands, good with feeling his way through something. Like, when he's coding he doesn't need to look at the keys, the causers, just at the effects unfurling on the screen. It's the same with this, with sex, with Eduardo: he doesn't need to look at his hands spreading out over Eduardo's hips, wide span from thumb to pinky-tip, he doesn't need to see himself take Eduardo in hand, or watch himself palm rough down Eduardo's chest: he just needs to see Eduardo react, the effects, his shower-wet, kissed-wet mouth, his blown-open pupils, the flush creeping down his neck. Mark keeps his gaze trained on Eduardo's reaction just as avidly as on any written code, the flickers of expression evolving into a whole, like one typed letter after another, leading to Eduardo panting hard in the steam-filled shower, or a whole new user interface.
The similes don't work the other way round: when Eduardo jerks him off too, fondly retaliatory, both of them turning steam-red under the steady spray of water, there is nothing Mark can think of as a comparison. He can only lean his head back against the tile, and keep his hand on Eduardo's shoulder for balance, his other hand drawing breathless, expletive gasps from Eduardo, and there is no comparison because what can be better than this? Mark has no need for hyperbole.
Touching Eduardo is like teasing out code from a keyboard: it gives Mark the same rush.

- OH OH ALSO, I SAW AND LOVED RIO AT WORK THE OTHER DAY. I missed the last twenty minutes because my shift ended, but I WILL SEE IT ON THURSDAY. Oh god, it is so lovely I thought I might die. I had to come home and buy the soundtrack. Let me take you to Rio, Rio. fnnnnnnnnng.
OKAY, I think that is it. One day I will be here to post something of slightly less ridiculous quality, but apparently today is not that day. This post feels so self-indulgent I slightly want to go ostrich-face and hide in the sand forever. I NEED TO TALK TO SOME FOOD ABOUT THIS.

Date: 2011-04-12 10:43 pm (UTC)And oh mannnnnnnn, I am so excited to go see Rio. I am going to be the creeper that shows up at a children's matinee alone and squees gleefully throughout. C'EST LA VIE.
Also: OH DOCTOR/ROSE, ID SHIP OF MY HEART. I always get slightly shirty when people badmouth Rose. I know they probably have great reasons or whatever, but I just cannot understand them. Nine/Rose forever, yo.

Date: 2011-04-12 10:50 pm (UTC)AND RIO HOMG, I saw it at work, and I was standing in full view of the audience and making the most ridiculous contortionist faces just so I wouldn't laugh out loud. AND THEN AT ONE POINT I DID. oh my god, okay, consider yourself warned: the opening couple of minutes are actually lethally adorable.
(also akjdgfjhsdgj thank you re: ridiculous fic snippet. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOUR FIC OF HOTNESS IS, LIKE, MIND-MELTINGLY HOT. And: Eduardo is his sexy, sexy laptop. - can't. stop. laughing. b e m i n e.)

Date: 2011-04-13 12:22 am (UTC)I AM JUST GLAD I DID NOT READ TWILIGHT AT THAT AGE, BECAUSE YOU KNOW I WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THAT.
I read twilight when I was 19 and I was all over it. DON'T JUDGE ME. (Then I got my head out of my ass and joined the anti-Twilight masses around the time the third book came out.)

Date: 2011-04-13 12:25 am (UTC)ajshfjhdshjg I shall not talk about my feelings for Ten, because they... are largely negative, but ELEVEN! HE IS MY FAVOURITE! And I think Donna might be my favourite companion, but I love all of them. NO WAIT JACK WAS A COMPANION FOR A BIT, HE MIGHT BE MY FAVOURITE. What are your thoughts on River Song?
Re: Twilight: I mean, I will admit to non-ironically shipping Edward/Bella, because a part of me is eternally fourteen and unable to help it, but the rest of me is able to step back and go "no, wait, this has so many flaws".
ANYWAY HELLO HELLO HOW ARE YOU??
edit: I mean, there were things about Ten that I liked! Just - not often enough for me to like him properly. I AM A TERRIBLE PERSON DD:

Date: 2011-04-13 02:13 pm (UTC)Sorry to come in here like this, it's just that I basically come here everyday to see if there's more of the BAKERY AU, and if there isn't I just read it all over again, lol! But anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I'm Brazilian, so if you need any help with Portuguese I can definately help you! <33333
Just send me a PM, ok?? I'll LOVE to help you with this masterpiece!!!

Good luck with your Spanish exam and try to do your best !
Holy cheese on a cracker, I FORGOT DW WAS STARTING SO SOON !! You totally reminded me of this awesome fact, and for this, I love you (and your post) even more.
I didn't like River that much at first, but she really amazed me last season, and I can't waiiiit to see what Moff has done with her storyline. I want to know EVERYTHING ABOUT HER AND HER MYSTERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DOCTOR.
And don't worry, I guess I can understand what you might feel when it comes to considering Nine as your Doctor and Eleven as your favourite : I feel the same. They're really different but Matt Smith really got me.
Ahaha, I can totally relate to the Doctor/Rose part :D I shipped them so hard at a time, that was quite incredible ... *odd times*
Also : A+++++++++++++ for this cut scene. I LOVE IT. IT'S AMAZING. AND IT REALLY MADE ME FEEL BETTER.
Thank youuuuu *throws hearts everywhere* I wish I could bake you brownies right now.
no subject
Date: 2011-04-13 07:44 pm (UTC)EVERYTHING ABOUT HER AND HER MYSTERIOUS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DOCTOR. - YES. THIS. I rewatched the Silence in the Library two-parter this morning and wept everywhere. HOW COULD I HAVE DISLIKED RIVER SONG? WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME? ahgfjhgsdjh.
I am glad you liked the little cut scene, and also ♥ YOU ARE SO A+++ THANK YOU FOR YOUR BROWNIE WISHES.

Date: 2011-04-13 05:24 pm (UTC)THIS IS HOW I FEEL. Nine. Nine, Niiiiiine. <3 I can not wait for new Doctor Who, so excite.
And girl, okay, your chapters can NEVER be too long. That's just impossible. I kinda want your fic to go on forever because it's so lovely, no lie.
And you'd better post those deleted scenes when the fic is done. Or more like this. I can't get enough of your writingggggg. Of course mark gets the same rush from Wardo as he does from coding, that is so him.
/this has been a fangirl post

Date: 2011-04-13 05:46 pm (UTC)And YOU ARE TOO GOOD TO ME. In other related news, I showed my friend who is not in or aware of fandom your bakery au picture, because I had been babbling about the bakery au to her without really going into specifics and then I was like TO ILLUSTRATE MY POINT: THIS. She loved it too! I want to introduce myself to new people by being like "hi, my name is moog, and also this picture happened in my life. what is your name?".
ps: lolol I think my chapters really can be too long: part three is like ~19,000 words long and is maybe a third done. I MAY HAVE TO BREAK IT UP MORE, BUT ALL THE BITS I HAVE ALMOST FINISHED ARE RIGHT AT THE END, what even am I.

Date: 2011-04-14 07:20 pm (UTC)Riverrrr. I cannot believe it took me so long to fall in love with her. I cannot understand what the hell was wrong with me. I THINK THAT TIME-LOOP SCENE IN THE TARDIS IS ACTUALLY MY FAVOURITE NEW WHO SHOT IN TERMS OF HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS. THE LENS FLARE AS SHE TURNS BACK. SKJHDFJDGFJS.
hang on I need who icons right now.

Bakery au part three is already, like, ~19,000 words long. I AM SO SORRY THAT A) IT IS TAKING SO LONG AND B) THAT IT IS SO RIDICULOUSLY LENGTHY, IDEK.

Date: 2011-04-17 07:22 am (UTC)I shipped Rose/Doctor, too at first and I hate to admit it but after what happened to Rose it took me ages to get used to Donna and I really dislked River at first. Especially while rewatching Nine and Ten though I started to stop liking Rose as much as I used to. Now I'm absolutely and totally in love with Donna (and Catherine Tate for that matter) and River ♥ I don't know how I could ever not like her.
Anyway, SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEKEND!!!!!!

Date: 2011-04-17 10:05 pm (UTC)I didn't like Donna that much in her Christmas special episode but I fell head over heels with by the end of Partners In Crime. "YOU JUST WANT TO MATE?" ugh ugh now she is my favourite companion. And it was the same with River! I really didn't like her at all when she first cropped up and now she is my queen. MY QUEEN.
