Like Cows for Cranberries

Oh man, I'm back to angsting over the title of the fic. (Decided to give myself a break over thinking about the sequel(s).) The titles I *can* think of would be somewhat spoilery for the plot and I really don't want that. Also, words to avoid like the plague:

Time
Rose(s)
Doctor

I suppose I could do something in...latin? Heh. Not really a deep-thought fic though. (Mwah. What's latin for slug?) I could do something odd and make people think I'm really deep or something. Of course, if I do actually accomplish sequels, then I would forever be saying, "Set in the 'Like Cows for Cranberries' universe."

Oh hell. I should just call it "Thunderdome" and be done with it.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] elismor's suggestion: "Cranberries in Repose: An examination of crack in the Thunderdome" Elis is always so helpful.

ETA2: More Elis suggestions: "Slug on a Hot Tin TARDIS" or "A TARDIS Named Desire"

ETA3: After reading my last DW fic, [livejournal.com profile] josephides said basically, "This is just you squeeing at your OTP, isn't it?" Perhaps it should just be "Squee." Also, it has already been established that Jojo may not read the new fic.

Think I'm gonna do the posting of a line thing for the summary instead of trying to come up with something. Probably will do this one. Probably.

But then, his thoughts would have absolutely no effect on what actually happened to Rose, right? So in his mind he could be selfish. It was harmless.

On the one hand, that's one of my favorite lines in the story. On the other, I dislike using quotes from the story in the summary, if only because they so rarely actually give a clue as to what the story is about. That one might be one of the few that work, though.

Yeah *sigh*. I think I'll put in the A/N that it's a post-Doomsday fix-it fic, which pretty much explains what that will sort of involve. But other kinds of summaries I can think of give away some plot points, which I really don't want to have happen ahead of time. :-\

*sporfle* OK, see, now I'm seeing Miss Piggy and the pig version of Captain Kirk (from the Muppets skit, of course) attacking the slugs. Miss Piggy would scream "Hi-yaaah!" and get them with karate chops or something.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's PERFECT.

And Kermit would wrinkle his nose. "Slugs. Yeesh. How revolting."

"Hey, you try being a slug, buddy! Always looked down on. Upstaged by show-off snails just because they've got a shell..."

Hey, you. Thanks for the card!

FYI, 'The Slug and Lettuce' is a pub chain in England ;)

It's not easy being squishy.

Poor slugs.

Okay, I continue to believe that England is this magical hobbit-like land...

The Day the TARDIS Stood Still

HAHAHAHAHA!

"That's odd."

"What's that, Doctor?"

"The TARDIS. She's...standing still."

"Um..."

"Maybe she's sick."

"Well, apparently *someone's* sick."

TARDIS and the Maiden

*snickers*

TARDIS/phone booth. AWWWW!

T is for TARDIS

Okay, I absolutely refuse to do baby/child fic. ;)

Grosse Pointe TARDIS

"Jack? Don't hang up. Listen, I didn't kill anyone - except some guy tried to kill me, so if I see that guy again, I'm definitely gonna kill him, but I'm not going to kill anybody else. I'm on my way to the reunion now with Rose, but I'm just a little nervous, and I'd like to do a phoner."

"Okay, repeat after me. 'I am at home with the me. I am rooted in the me who is on this adventure.'"

"I am at home with the me, I am rooted in the me who is on this adventure."

"Good. Now take a deep breath, and realize that this is me breathing."

"Wait, I'm confused. Do you want me to say it or do you want me to realize it?"

"What?"

"About the breathing."

"Say it."

"This is me breathing."

"Good, now keep doing that for about twenty minutes."

"Listen, I got to go. TARDIS is landing."

"Okay. Keep it up. Don't kill anybody."

"Right!"

Pinky and the Timelord

"So what are we going to do tonight?"

"Same thing we do every night, Rose. Try to go to a concert!"

Snort I think I like her way of thinking.

She's clever, that one!

I wish I *did* see Hobbits around here. That'd be cool.
