quipxotic

Last week really kicked my ass with plenty of family medical issues, so not much writing has happened with "Hill House Eight." My best guess is that I won't have a draft until the end of February; luckily the challenge is open-ended, so I could still be writing the story next January and it'd be okay.

I was, however, able to get some drabbles done. I've finished writing for "The Diary of River Song, series 5" and, in general, I enjoyed all four audios. The biggest problem, from a writing perspective, was trying to place them in River's timeline. I ended up moving them around a lot this weekend, but I think I'm happy with their placement now. For ease of finding them, I've linked to the drabbles for the four stories below:

• "The Bekdel Test" by Jonathan Morris (River vs. Missy, played by Michelle Gomez)


• "Animal Instinct" by Roy Gill (River vs. the Geoffrey Beevers version of the Master)


• "The Lifeboat and the Deathboat" by Eddie Robson (River vs the Eric Roberts version of the Master/aka the Master from the Eighth Doctor TV movie)


• "Concealed Weapon" by Scott Handcock (River vs Derek Jacobi's War Master)

I've also started writing drabbles for "UNIT - Silenced." It's a very timely series of stories about the rise of fascism, with the added intervention of aliens. It'll probably take me all week to finish writing for that volume, but I'm not in any rush.
