Bwah! I believe I fall firmly on the "bitch, please... he totally had Romana" square.
Fred: The size and depth of the wound indicate a female vampire. Harmony: Or gay! Fred: Um…it doesn't really work like that.

Art Crawl!!!
If the First Doctor had a granddaughter, doesn't that suggest that sex was had at some point?

One of the arguments is that Susan wasn't really his granddaughter. (Personally, I prefer to assume that relationship was exactly what they said it was)
OMGWTF! Someone wrote an SG-1/Atlantis AU in Bryan Fuller's Dead Like Me universe: [link]

Wrod. He may not have boinked any of the other Companions, who were all lesser beings anyway, but Romana was a fellow Time Lord.
Though I wouldn't put it beyond the realm of possibilty that Leela ambushed him out of boredom.

OK, so I'm writing this fic that hinges on pennyroyal being poisonous. And I got some good info on what the reaction is like from some re-enactor lady at little_details, but what kind of treatment would these women get at the hospital?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
A nice case report & review of the literature on pennyroyal poisoning from Annals of Internal Medicine: [link] It sums up all the reported cases of different severity in tables, and gives an overview of the issues & treatment.
To wit: in minor cases, it causes abdominal cramping and perhaps some neurological toxicity, but the major danger of pennyroyal toxicity is the threat of liver failure. The recommended treatment for pennyroyal poisoning is similar to the treatment for tylenol overdose (probably the most common toxin-mediated liver failure), i.e. gastric lavage with activated charcoal (stomach pumping) ASAP after ingestion, administration of "N-acetylcysteine," preferrably intravenously, which may serve as the substrate for the toxic metabolite of the compound and help bind it out, plus supportive care. I suppose, as it is the case with tylenol overdose, if the liver fails irrevocably and the patient is neurologically intact, then he/she may be a candidate for liver transplantation.

On the header for an Atlantis fic:
Pairing: Spanky with a side of Sparky
Rating: K+
...wtf? Portmanteaus, whilst inelegant, are readily decodable, for the most part. Is this like that whole HMS Pumpkin Pie thing in HP fandom? Or...or what, exactly?

Unless it's a crossover with Our Gang (which in this fandom is NOT out of the question), I'd assume they mislabeled a content description referring to actual spanking/bondage play with a bit of romantic interplay dialogue thrown in.
Not sure how that would work with a K+ rating, though...

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Spanky I know nothing about. Sparky is Elizabeth/John; my understanding of how it came about is that Nos joked on a J/E mailing list that the portmanteaus were all so lousy they might as well call it Sparky, and then people, um, did.
Yes, it's stupid.
