Rec [vid]: not a snog box | Doctor Who [HUMOR] by Pteryx Videos

Title: not a snog box | Doctor Who [HUMOR]
Creator: Pteryx Videos
Rating: Not rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 2:53
Creator's Summary: I needed positive emotions and here's what turns out =)
It's not a crack, just... I don't know, what is it.
Characters/Pairings: All the Doctors and companions from the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctor eras
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: Martha sums the video up at the end, so this is for 1979, the year Freema Agyeman was born. It's a fun video with clips relating to the songs. And I didn't realise how much similar themes came up until I saw them one after another.

Creator:

pedanther (Paul A)
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 1245 words
Creator's Summary: "A lot of the facts have been changed, mind you. I don't remember half of these things happening. And it's odd reading about Holmes and Watson, rather than—"
— Bernice Summerfield, All-Consuming Fire

"The veiled detective and her fatuous accomplice... You realise Doctor Doyle is almost certainly basing his fantastical tales on your own exploits? With a few choice alterations, of course."
— Doctor Simeon, The Snowmen
Characters/Pairings: Bernice Summerfield, Seventh Doctor, Madame Vastra, Jenny Flint
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: For the year 1992, when Bernice Summerfield first made her appearance into the NAs. This is a delightful fic with perfect Benny diary voice, complete with yellow Post-It notes, which reveals the real story between on of the NAs.

Title: We Will Rock You - A tribute to the Paternoster Gang
Creator: Ricky Darnnell
Rating: Not rated
Word Count/Length/Size: 2:10

Rec [fic]: The Adventure of the Hopping Vampire by David Hines (hradzka)

Title: The Adventure of the Hopping Vampire
Creator: David Hines (hradzka)
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 29,268 words
Creator's Summary:
SOME OF OUR MORE IMAGINATIVE READERS INFORM US that the events of the past few days -- the grisly deaths, the tragic fire, the flying carriage that caused the egregious delays on the Metropolitan and District Railway -- are attributable to the fevered pursuit of a Chinese vampire, known in its native land as a jiang shi, by the adventuress detective Madame Vastra. These readers, whose persistent letters are beginning to become tiresome, claim that this is but one of many times Madame Vastra's unravelling of a mystery has saved all of an unknowing London.

We advise these peculiar devotees that we have yet again sought an audience with Madame Vastra, who, as ever, politely declines comment on any of the wilder rumors in circulation, but wishes it known that any unusual cases requiring investigation may be brought to her attention care of this newspaper.
Characters/Pairings: Jenny/Vastra
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a really great story about a Chinese vampire/alien that involves them figuring out what's going on and how to stop it, via a whole lot of fighting and kissing. But also some of it parallels Jenny and Vastra's story and we get an idea of what it's like to be Vastra in a human world.

Rec: Bad Parts by ClocketPatch

Title: Bad Parts
Creator:

Clocketpatch
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 10594 words
Creator's Summary: Alternative ending to Nightmare in Silver. The Cyber-parts don't just drop off at the end, and Mr. Clever isn't giving up so easily...
Characters/Pairings: Jenny/Vastra
Eleventh Doctor, Cyber-Controlled Eleventh Doctor, Jenny Flint, Madame Vastra, Clara Oswin Oswald, Strax
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: December is almost over and this one is a two-fer on the theme: Eleventh Doctor AND Cybermen! For anyone who thought that the Doctor had it just a bit too easy getting rid of the CyberParts at the end of Nightmare in Silver, in this meaty alt-ending the fight goes on. The character voices are on point, especially the Eleventh Doctor who has to deal with the cyber-controller's attempts not only to take over his body but to destroy his hope.
