Well, the names have now been named in the case of the eleventyfest fanwork exchange, so I can now reveal and thank the people who wrote the lovely fics I was reccing last week. Please if you haven't, go and give them a read. They're all great:

And this is my own effort, made for akashasheiress. I'm going to post it to the Teaspoon at some point, but it was written in a bit of a hurry and there are a couple of things I want to revise about it before I do, so it might not be for a while. Anyway:

Title: Weak
By: jjpor
Words: 10,241
Type: Gen, F/M
Age: Teen
Characters: Eleventh Doctor/River, Amy/Rory, Brian Williams, Ace, various others mentioned or referenced.
Author's Note: Written for akashasheiress as part of the Eleventyfest ficathon. The Doctor's definitely going to have that talk with River. You know, *that* talk. Honestly, he is. Any day now. Any day now...

I don't know who wrote them for me yet (all will be revealed next week), but I'd like to recommend the two excellent fics I have been gifted as part of the eleventyfest fanworkathon:

Title: Bounce
By: Anonymous
Words: 5,470
Type: Gen
Age: Teen
Characters: The Doctor (11th), Amy/Rory, Vastra/Jenny, Strax, Canton Everett Delaware III
Author's Note: A mysterious device affects the lives of the Doctor and his friends.

Why you should read it: Because it's great. It's basically a compendium of some of my current favourite things/obsessions: "Classic" Eleven+Amy+Rory; the Consulting Detective, wife and butler; Mr Delaware being basically the coolest dude ever. And it's really well written, and even includes glimpses of Historical Torchwood and an ace in-passing X-Files reference too. Good stuff. Ticks all my boxes.

Title: Trouble in the Deep
By: Anonymous
Words: 4,940
Type: Gen, F/F, F/M
Age: Teen
Characters: The Doctor (11th), River, Amy/Rory, Vastra/Jenny, Strax, Silurians
Author's Note: Something wicked is afoot under London and Vastra can't stop dreaming. Jenny calls in the Doctor, River calls in Amy and Rory, and the problem turns out to be much bigger than anyone imagined.

Why you should read this one too: Because it's also great, again ticks numerous of my idiosyncratic boxes. And it's a well-thought-out story with a mystery that only deepens as it goes on before being resolved in a way that makes more sense the more you think about it. As well as exploring something of the condition of the Doctor and the life he leads, through looking at the relationships of those around him. The characterisation of Jenny in particular is great. Also good stuff.


Well, go on, then, read them! :)

I've been meaning to post this rec for a couple of days, but it kept slipping my mind. Basically, when I was reading a lot of Brig fic the other night, this fic from calapine was linked to from one of them. It's not strictly Brig fic, although he gets a very nice mention, but it still gave me a bit of a lump in the old throat at the time of reading:

Because I don't do this anything like often enough (and because I really liked these fics I read tonight):

First up is  Ad Astra Per Anatis by roachpatrol  , which features Seven and Ace. And ducks. It's the kind of thing I like - Seven and Ace being Seven-y and Ace-y at each other, and well worth a read if you like that kind of thing too. Or even if you don't! Here it is:

And here, as part of my good buddy clocketpatch 's inspired eleven_romana  ficathon (which you may remember me pimping around back in the day), we have An Idea of Synchrony by honeynoir . And it's a corker! Seriously, if you like Romana, if you like Eleven, even if you're one of those weird people who doesn't see the inherent rightness of Eleven/Romana-ness (kidding!), then read it. Read it now:
