The other day I stumbled upon this blog entry. The story it tells is so sad, and I suspect it could have been easily prevented if more people knew what paracetamol does to you if you overdose. It isn’t a case of getting a stomach pump and going home, it’s a cry for help that ends up killing you, and it’s such a tragic waste.
Lighter news:
Terry Pratchett’s been made a knight!
A lovely interview with Elisabeth Sladen. Some interesting stuff there, I wonder what the ‘down ending’ of School Reunion would have been…
An interesting article about black British actors, making mention of Martha. It’s interesting, and makes some points I’ve never thought about before…I can just about name five British black actors, but I really have to think about it, and virtually all of the ones I can think of were in Who…
Nazanin Afshin-Jam is seriously one of the most awesome women I’ve heard of. She’s been working to free her namesake, a girl who killed a rapist in self-defense, and…look, go see the documentary, it explains everything better than I can.
But still. Awesome lady. //fangirl
This guy is just plain awesome. :O
The ‘Get DW Confidential Subtitled’ campaign. Quite Important, I reckon.
Good fic that has been posted recently-
Pomegranate Seeds by tenebraeli -wonderful, slightly scary Ten fic.
So Let The Bells Ring Out by doyle_sb4 – a fantastic Mickey fic which is funny and touching all at once.

I always love reading everyone else’s linkspams, so here’s one of mine, featuring both links I’ve been saving up for ages and some very new ones. :)
First, an important one: Two missing boys in Milwaukee
Fanfic
No Easy Answers by Stoneage Woman -a War Of The Worlds fic. (Spielburg version) Everyone’s in character and it’s very realistic- if you liked the movie, take a look.
Momentary Seizure of Love by loneraven – utter crackfic. But brilliant. (A HP/BtVS/Velvet Goldmine/Good Omens/Stargate SG-1/Doctor Who/Life on Mars crossover, in case you were wondering.)
Cherish by nuit_belle -because the world needs more Jackie fic, and this one’s great.
Lightsabres through the Neck by charmisjess– a lovely Star Wars fic. A Count Dooku one, to be exact. It’s very well done and I demand all SW fans go have a read.
