Some days, I wonder why there needs to be a subject.

1. Someone who has read Caroline Stevermer's 'A Scholar of Magics' please reassure me that this Lambert fellow gets interesting, or at least stops hogging the narrative? I was really looking forward to seeing Jane Brailsford again, and so far, she's been in all of two seconds' worth. Also, I suspect that this book is really boring, as the thought of attempting chapter two (even knowing Jane appears in it!) has made me drop the book for a later time.

2. I have been listening to Who audios, and discovered a few things; I still enjoy Charley, I quite adore Evelyn (she is a wonderful foil for Six), Five and Nyssa are tops (even if the plots are ridiculous, Five has a way with dry sarcasm that stings two minutes later), Ace and Seven vs Daleks didn't annoy me, I still ship Benny/Eight like pie (srsly, OMG), Five and Turlough are (um) boring, Time Lord politics make me yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.

3. Also, recognizing Jackie Pearce from voice alone made me smug.

Have you heard any Peri & Erimem stories with Five? Because, I mean, seriously, love. Peri gets to be sarcastic, Erimem gets to win every argument EVER (including with fucking Dracula, that's how awesome she is), and Five gets to be long-suffering and, yes, dryly sarcastic in a way completely different from Peri. Also, Peri/Erimem is one of those OTPs I can easily get behind.

I have not. And I meant to add Peri and Five to my list, but I forgot. I've been enjoying the Peri stories, too. I'm making my way through them at work, which is v helpful, since work has been ridiculously boring.

If I could make my mp3 player cooperate so I could play stories, I'd probably be listening to them at work too.

*ponders* Is this a problem in that it won't play the file types? Because I've had to convert them from whatever they are to mp3s.

Could you rec' some good audios? I have a few long drives coming up and some of these on the old MP3 could be nice for a change. (also where are they procured?)

Yes. I can also finish your beta and send it back. *facepalm* (sorry about the lag time)

Hey - no rush on that. It is a crossover with an old regen and a show that was cancled four years ago. I doubt it's going to get more stale. :P
