Cool links
Brrrr. It's gone from hot and muggy summer back to early spring: wet and cold.
Anyway, here are a couple of links I liked which are a different sort of cool.
This guy colours in his kids' drawings while on business flights. It's amazing what he can do with them. I'd love to see more.
And here are the 12 types of Doctor Who fan. I'm not so certain about this one. I don't recognise the first type, but number 2 and 3, the Tennant and Smith fans, made me laugh. As for the fanfic writer, I wouldn't be surprised if there are several stories like that out there. But what have people got against Martha Jones? I know I'm missing out on the Capaldi sweary jokes because I've never seen The Thick of It.
Finally, building guides for Lego tree ornaments; scroll down a little for the SF ones which include a TARDIS, Death Star, Millennium Falcon, and tie fighter. Click on them to see the building guides if you're likely to have the Lego to make one. :-)

I like Martha. I feel like more could have been done with her and I'm not entirely happy with the story she did get but she was wonderful at times. I was inclined to support her from the start when she was not only intelligent and useful, but constantly being made aware that no matter what she did she would never be a substitute for <3!!!ROSE!!!<3

I liked Piper in the Day of the Doctor.

The coloured drawings are ingenious!
Talking of cool links, have you seen the warp drive news?

A B7 one! Ah, yes, I know I'm the last one there. What's an Avon objectifier though? Someone who sees him as a sex object? I've seen fights between Avon and Blake fans, many of whom dislike the other character (I had to unsubscribe from a rabid Avon-lover-Blake-hater and I mean hater) so that would be two more categories.
I adore the coloured drawings!
[looks at link] Ooh! Just weeks to other planets? I'd given up all hope after seeing a demo of just how huge the solar system alone is at the local planetarium. Wouldn't want to test that too close to the planet though. Stretching space could be painful to say the least! /Vila

Come to think of it, "fans that prefer S4" could be yet another (if somewhat mysterious to me.)
Yes! What does happen to objects in the warped zone!? Even though I know that all the hyped "science fiction come true" science news like that are usually very, very far from becoming realised (not in my lifetime, if at all) I always find it heartening that someone is actually working on them, nonetheless...

I really, really don't understand why anyone would prefer S4. Unless maybe it's the first season they saw? I don't know otherwise.

The DW piece -- well, frankly, this is how it comes across to me: "Doctor Who is for children. Always has been, always will be. Everyone else who gets passionate about it is ridiculous and self-delusional, and I'm going to show how clever I am by mocking them." Possibly with a subtext of: "After all this stupid fuss about the annversary, all the other Intelligent Adults who are just as tired of it as I am have earned a really good, well-deserved cruel laugh at their expense. Maybe then all these annoying, childish fans will learn their lesson and STFU about this kids' show."
As you can see, I've gotten rather tired of fandom-bashing, especially by people who actually live in (and make money from) one section of fandom but are still snotty about other segments.
So I've closed that tab and gone back to enjoying the amazing artwork!
I also enjoyed Martha. I think the Martha-hate was probably a reflex from Rose fans, and the rawness had faded with time. It's reminiscent of the Jonas-hating Daniel fans from Stargate.

Oy, really? Poor Martha. I think she was great.
