Five reasons why Puck is being a very bad, non-posting author this week:

(in no particular order)

1. I moved house
2. I had a nasty bout of bronchitis
3. My family was visiting
4. I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo
5. It’s U.S. Thanksgiving!

I promise—honest!—that I’ll start posting again next Monday. As for that NaNo story…well, that’ll start going up sometime next month. Probably. It is, after all, still a work in progress *g*

Thank you all for your patience these past two weeks. And many thanks to those of you who offered luck and well wishes last week *hugs*

(ps. Um...I don't suppose anyone would be willing to gin up an Elias/Ruby icon? *g*)

I'm sorry, I'm sorry--not only do I not have fic to offer today, but I've also completely failed to reply to any of the lovely comments to last week's stories. My excuse: I'm moving house, and slowly have been since Thursday. Today is--*knock wood*--the last day of the big part of it, with movers showing up in just under two hours to move the heavy things I'd not dare subject my friends to!

I can't promise I'll have fic on Thursday, either--but I'll certainly try.

Thank you all for your patience. And, er, if any of you happen to have a Peter Carlisle to send along to help with the un-packing, I'd be most appreciative. I'll even send him back un-molested :)

Title: Bar Night: An Alternate Take (or: The Dangers of Not Re-reading One’s Own Work)
Author: jlrpuck
Rating: K
Characters: Mickey, Jake, James, Penny, and Anna
Disclaimer: Characters from Doctor Who are the property of BBC, and are used with the greatest of love and respect; no profit is intended from the writing or sharing of this story.
Summary: You’ve read Bar Night --but what if it actually happened like this?
Notes: Written for hazelwho, who won my services through a generous donation to the September Support Stacie auction. Her prompt was, “Another missing scene from TWoT like Bar Night, where the guys discuss Carlisle and Rose's relationship.” I, uh…well, as the title and summary imply, I failed to actually re-read the relevant bits of TWoT, and so it wasn’t until after I’d written this and sent it off to Ms. Who that I worked out that I set this on exactly the same night as “Bar Night”. Much facepalming ensued, as well as a promise to Ms. Who to re-write it. She, bless her, wrote back suggesting this go up as a “Clue”-style “Or maybe it happened like this!” thing, and my beta’s agreed. So here it is.

You’re still getting another story, Ms. Who, set at a different time during TWoT. I just need to move house first. *hugs*

Many thanks to earlgreytea68 and chicklet73 for their beta and feedback on this. Any errors in the story, though, are mine and mine alone.

Author: jlrpuck
Rating: K
Characters: Peter Carlisle, Lucy Carlisle
Disclaimer: Characters from Blackpool are the property of BBC, are are used with the greatest of love and respect; no profit is intended from the writing or sharing of this story.
Summary: Peter Carlisle makes a sacrifice for Lucy.
Notes: Written for ramblinsuze, who won my services through a generous donation to the September Support Stacie auction. Her prompt was,“ Peter and Lucy attend a father/daughter dance (she's around 8-10 years old). Can be uber fluffy, could be a big ol' (funny!) disaster, whatever strikes your fancy. :D”

Rating: K
Characters: Peter Carlisle, Elias McCoy
Disclaimer: Characters from Blackpool are the property of BBC, are are used with the greatest of love and respect; no profit is intended from the writing or sharing of this story.
Summary: Peter and Elias get sent on their first case together in London.
Notes: Written for kholly, who won my services through a generous donation to the September Support Stacie auction. Her prompt was pretty much what it says in the story summary, with the lovely addition of “I was just poking through Year Two to see how much of Elias we get and it seems like mostly he's in the background of stories about Peter and Rose learning to live with each other. Now you know me, I love Peter and Rose, so that's not a complaint, just an observation. But I really like young, rough around the edges Peter, and Elias turned into such a great friend so a story where we see a bit of that happening would be very fun.”

Rating: K
Characters: Peter Carlisle, Elias McCoy
Disclaimer: Characters from Blackpool are the property of BBC, are are used with the greatest of love and respect; no profit is intended from the writing or sharing of this story.
Summary: Peter and Elias find their way into another misadventure.
Notes: Written for principia_coh, months ago now, after she planted the idea in my head and wouldn’t let me ignore it.

I’m not sure this was ever beta’d, but if it was it would have been by the inimitable earlgreytea68 and chicklet73. Any errors in the story, though, are mine and mine alone.

Characters: Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler

Summary: The Doctor and Rose prepare for a night out.
Notes: Written for ginamak, who won me twice in the September Support Stacie Auction. Her request—bless her—was simply the Ninth Doctor with cufflinks.

Thank you to both earlgreytea68 and chicklet73 for their speedy beta this past week. Any errors are mine, and mine alone.

Title: An Outside View of Things, Part III (1/1)

Rating: K
Characters: Ruby Quarles, Rose Tyler, James Ennis
Disclaimer: Characters from Blackpool and Doctor Who are the property of BBC, are are used with the greatest of love and respect; no profit is intended from the writing or sharing of this story.
Summary: In which we get to see both Rose and Ruby at work.
Notes: More of the remnants of my attempt to write a story strictly centered on Elias and Ruby. While this doesn’t specifically mirror any of the events in “And So Things Go,” it does answer one big question that came out of the story.

Um. I don’t think this was beta’d. Which means that—even moreso than usual—any and all mistakes are mine, and mine alone. If you do find errors, please be so kind as to PM me :)

Seriously. I really, really love this fic and am thrilled to pieces that wildwinterwitch decided to write it.

ETA--I'm getting caught up post-vacation, and noted that my account appears to have been paid to January. I'm embarrassed I didn't notice sooner, and want to send a belated THANK YOU to whomever was kind enough to do that. *hugs*
