AN: I read an interview with Sarah Gamble that said: "He's (Michael’s) not walking around in the here and now, so we have to be creative in introducing Michael. You will meet him."

It totally lifted the spirits of my muses who have refused to speak to me since Jensen and Danneel’s engagement. Sorry CAVE IN readers.*ducks and runs* I am doing my best to beat my muses into submission and hope to get it done soon, but...


"What the fuck have you done, Castiel?" Sam spat. "Michael doesn’t get to come anywhere near Dean. Do you hear me!"

Save It For Later

Um, dear Internet... I would like to watch Doctor Who before I go to sleep tonight, otherwise I won't be sleeping anyway.
That's all.

Any other Americans sharing my pain right now? Grab a box of tissues.

I noticed this rather heavily and I wonder if anyonelse did. Throughout the End of Time a certain idea seemed to keep coming up:

Allons-y!

So it's Christmas and I am on the other side of the world from all my friends and family and my landlords are out so it's just me and photoshop and a pile and a half of screencaps!

What to do, what to do!

So, OBVIOUSLY what I should be doing is making icons. For that is love and what not. I'm borrowing the form and conditions from paper_ducks
So here's the deal:

I will make icon(s) for everyone who fills out a form.

I prefer to work with screencaps from shows and movies, rather than publicity photos or photo shoots, so that's what I'll be working with.

I will work with any of the following fandoms:

Criminal Minds
Dr Who (New!Who, I don't have caps of Classic Who yet ):)
Gilmore Girls
Merlin
Power Rangers MMPR, Dino Thunder
Star Trek XI or TOS
Torchwood (seasons 1 and 2)

Form and details

Crossposted all over, sorry for any spammed flists!

(Why yes, I still have a stocking at 22. What of it? X3 )

My younger sister (who is 21 today and acting not a day over 8) makes plush toys and other things out of felt as a hobby. I knew she had made a little penguin charm for our brother, but when emptying my stocking this morning I found a curious little package.

And I'll be darned (no pun intended), she'd made me a mini TARDIS.



I have the most awesome sister ever, seriously. :D

Merry Christmas everyone!

PS: The Sonic Screwdriver wasn't a Xmas gift btw - I've had that for months.

PPS: Do we have a tag for crafts?
