I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My friend Neal just posted on FB that he needs to find a good Sirius receiver unit. I suggested Remus Lupin.

I'm such a geek--I finished watching my newly-purchased Doctor Who Season 4 dvds last night, and now I've got the beginnings of a Donna Noble-Sarah Jane Smith story brewing in my head, where they work on an investigative story together without Sarah Jane triggering memories of the Doctor in Donna.
I'll have to see if it'll be a short one-shot, or an ongoing episode-long story.

Question for those who are writing for Yuletide or other fic exchanges:
Let's say you get "optional details" on your request asking for a genre you don't care to write. Yes, the details are optional, but the fic is supposed to be a gift and in theory something the recipient would like to read.
How would you handle such a situation? Say you were asked for schmoopy fic if that's something you've never written. Or explicit het when you mostly prefer to write slash where the sex is only hinted at or referred to in passing. Or a post-apocalyptic AU when both of those genres give you hives on their own.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Optional details are optional. I know we all want to write a story that our recipient will like, but forcing yourself to write outside your comfort zone won't do your recipient any favors either. Don't force it.
Sometimes I write around things. My request last year was for a femslash pairing where one of the characters is canonically married to the hero pretty early on, and is someone I'd never considered as gay, or even subtexty. I wrote a story that was mostly about friendship and some unrequited feelings on the part of the other character, and my recipient seemed to like that.
